### NOTE: This description applies to the current work-in-progress of QkrMods. Please refer to the documentation included with the release package for information specific to that release.

## Introduction

Quaker Server Modifications Version 4.07 (QkrMods v4.07) are a set of server modifications which are being developed and run on the Clan of the Implementors' server. They contain what the Implementors consider the most useful and interesting patches for a dedicated Quake server. QkrMods is the most advanced and feature-rich server modification package that includes both remote administration and extended teamplay (including Capture the Flag expert rules) functions.

> | ### QkrMods has been designed to be easy to set up and use. |

> > The code is arranged in separately configurable units that have been (heavily) reformatted into a consistent style and commented. Documentation for both server administrators and players is provided in HTML format with the QkrMods package.

> | ### QkrMods is also one of the best-performing server modification packages. |

> > Many errors in the original id source (both logical and stylistic) have been fixed. The behavior of the code has been improved, use of entity fields has been minimized, and most of the functions streamlined for faster execution.

> | ### QkrMods has extensive on-line help for the player. |

> > Detailed explanations of the enabled server options, current server status, and features are available right at the player's console. QkrMods also has the unique feature that it does not require players to remember impulse commands. Rather, all player commands are automatically mapped to aliases upon login. Players may then bind keys to the mnemonic instead of the impulse - making the player's job much easier and freeing the server administrator to change impulse allocation without worrying about affecting his or her constituency.

> | ### QkrMods is an excellent learning tool. |

> > The extensive commenting and careful structuring of the QkrMods source provides a useful guide for beginning QuakeC programmers and hobbyists. Combined with the QuakeC Reference Manual as a guide to code syntax and semantics, QkrMods illustrates many advanced programming concepts and a highly structured approach to QuakeC programming.
