While the theme of quake is dark, there are only a few items that could be considered "satanic", those being the "pentacle of protection" and some textures. Of those, I'd say, only the pentacle is really objectionable, as the protagonist is openly using it's unholy powers, and thus, in a way endorsing it.

(In fact, the pentacle has bothered me on occasion, so I've considered replacing it myself. The idea was a white septagram that changed one's armor to 777.)

The rest is merely the environs and what-not of the evil forces the quake-guy is fighting in opposition of. However, I could see how you might object to some of the other stuff.

The various "demonic" elements actually draw mostly from H.P. Lovecraft's (and company) horror fiction, so I'd argue that those aspects are not satanic. Overall, I think the game could be purged of the most objectionable aspects fairly easily.

So, if you're up for it, here's a little quake mod project to get you started. Replace the pentacle of protection with an item that has equivalent functionality. This should actually be fairly easy. It's a trivial QuakeC mod and adding a single model to the game. Both are good exercises for a beginner.

Then go through the textures and replace any objectionable ones. There are several ways you could do this. One would be to edit the maps directly. This is possible thanks to the map source release, but would be a lot of tedious work, so I'd advise against it. Another would be to edit the textures embedded into the map files. This would work pretty well. The third way would be to get a texture replacement pack and edit that, which would probably be the easiest (but I don't know if the PSP engines support texture replacement or not). Alternately, you could use flat shading, if your engine supports it.

However, if your objections go even deeper than that, I don't know what to tell you. I'd hate to suggest that you look elsewhere (as the Quake community is so small these days), but if you really hate Quake that badly, why are you looking to mod it?

Quake: PG13

Sounds like a good mod to me.
Seriously, though, you guys are babys.

2000 - a HL compatible port of Quake that was done by Ender. Mysteriously lost in a laptop injury. Laptop is irrecoverable in several (excuses?) ways.

2004 - a HLDM recreation by Carni... do you know how bad Quake MDL butchers the animation?! Don't think it was ever released.

2009 - avirox's HL entity implementation


If you want to modify Half-Life through Quake, you can't.

I've never said that I wanted you guys to do it all for me. I was hoping for someone to suggest one with the art changed already. I have every right to take offense to the pentagrams in the game. Another thing, I've never said that it was a shooting game I was making for all you know I'm making Hello Kitty 3D.

I don't plan on making some stupid little change and trying to act like I've done some huge deal. I actually would like to learn engine and qc coding along with possibly making my own mod.

The errors I was getting was not from the compiler, they were from the qc not being able to find models. I didn't want to go through and put random models in their places because I don't know what everything is supposed to be. I think it would just end up in a crazy mess, I thought maybe someone had already dealt with and fixed the problem of using some clean qc with the Kurok engine.
