Quake 4 Reborn V2 (Nightmare) file

I don't know but I would like to know !!! Logically it should because is just tweaking the weapons and nothing more. Is not graphics enhancer. If you try it, let me know. BTW before you do that I suggest to copy the entire Quake 4 folder just in case something goes wrong.

Did you read the description and checked if really nothing changed ? If that is true then is weird, I have and checked the retail version not Steam though.

It just cross my mind but the reason it might not working is because is a double folder maybe ? It must be the "q4r_v2_Nightmare" and NOT the "q4rv2_Nightmare"

I placed the q4r_v2:Nightmare folder so it's the right one but still not working. Altrought the Quake 4 Reborn Version 2 (Not Nightmare) is working.

I don't know what to say, I just downloaded and tested and is working fine.

Since you mention that the original mod is working, let's try this:

open the "q4r_v2_Nightmare" folder and copy the file "def.pk4" ONLY and replace the original one.

If that is not working either, then I really don't know.

For the people wondering why is not working I made a terrible mistake, I pack it up twice the def.pk4. To fix this EXTRACT the def.pk4 using 7zip or winrar and delete the previous one and replace it with the one you extracted and that should fix it.
I tested also with the latest GOG version and is working fine.

it's working even with the latest version of GOG

I am terribly sorry that I didn't reply to you all these years, I was busy in real life and had less time to play. Also if you just send me a private message I could easily respond you.
Anyways the method to remove reload system is the following:

1)Right-click on the def.pk4 and choose 7zip, open archive

2)Go to def/weapons and choose any weapon that you want to edit/change. For example choose nailgun.def and right-click again and choose Edit and it will open with notepad

3) Now search for the "clipSize" and turn the number value to 0

4) close the notepad and choose to save your changes, another message will appear that the file has been modified, choose again yes and you should be ready to enjoy

Thanks for the reply!
But I've tried this before and I couldn't get it to work.
I did the same kind of thing in Doom 3 and it worked fine.

Are these the .pk4 files you're referring to?:
D:\GOG stuff\Quake 4 - files\Quake 4\q4base\pak001.pk4\def\weapons\

I went in, changed the values to what I wanted,
went into the game, started a new game, used “give all” to get everything,
and nothing changed. It's all just like vanilla.
I went back into the file to check if it had reverted,
and no, it's stayed the way I put it,
but the game is just ignoring it completely.
I tried on both the Steam and GOG versions. Same thing.
Any ideas?

So you are trying to edit the original files, I strongly suggest you to BACKUP those files first before you try any changes. You see the weapons such as the nailgun exist in the following pk4 files:
pak001.pk4,pak015.pk4,pak020.pk4,pak022.pk4.
My guess that there many and separate ones is most probably of the upgrades, as far I could tell the nailgun actually has 3 upgrades+the main weapon.
For example if you want the non-upgraded nailgun to shoot without reloading, you must edit the pak022.pk4(I think all of the weapons there are the non-upgraded ones)
I too used to edit/tweak Doom 3 files and it was much easier, the difference is because in Doom 3 there aren't upgrades.

Thanks for the info.
I identified all the files which have each of the weapons.

However, pak001 isn't read-only, but pak015 appears to be.
So when I close/save the file
it offers to save it as a txt file on my desktop.
How do I stop this read-only-style behaviour inside a pak?

That's not a problem, make any changes you want with the pak015.pk4 and save them outside. When you are done just select all the files you edited and DRAG them inside the pak015.pk4\def\weapons\ while you have it open with 7zip. Overwrite them and you are done

That's a lot of paks for each weapon, I suggest you start with the pak022 in which I believe is the one that has the non-upgraded weapons, after that I suggest you to check and make changes 1 by 1. I don't believe you actually need to edit 4 shotgun files to make the reload. You just have to find the right pak to make changes

Thanks!
Yeah it turns out you can do basically everything you'd want to do from pak022.
That's been a great help. I've changed loads of stuff I've wanted to change for the past 17 years.
I removed all reloading from all weapons, I removed the Machinegun's screen shake and halved its spread, I slightly reduced the Shotgun's spread, I added more bounce to the Grenade Launcher, I removed the Nailgun's screen shake, I added an additional bounce to the HyperBlaster mod's projectile, I reduced the Railgun's firing delay, and I doubled the speed of the Rocket Launcher's projectile. It's great!
Coincidentally I also found out how to change aiming sensitivity to whatever you want, only while aiming/zooming in.
I'm still trying find a way to make all enemies tougher by reducing the damage they take to 0.8x
But the thing bothering me most right now is, how to make my commands like “g_fov 100” stick permanently.
Currently they reset after any kind of loading.
Any ideas?

The best way to do it, is to open the Quake4Config and at the very end add this line:
seta g_fov "100"
close it and save it and that should do it
Basically any console command option you change in the game is temporary until a new level loads, if you add it in the Quake4Config it will stay active all the time.
An example is that the players running speed is slow for me so I use the console command: pm_speed 200(default is 160), if I want this option to stay active all the time I have to add it in the Quake4Config. Kepp in mind though that when you transform to strogg that should change.

Question:

You said that you can do anything from pak022, isn't that only the non-upgraded weapons ? when you upgraded your weapons, won't you loose all the changes you had made ?
don't you need to edit other pak files too ?
Also the lightning gun is the only weapons that I cannot remove the screen shake, any ideas ?
