A new utility for mod authors called NewMod for Quake III Arena is designed to take some of the hassle out of working with the Quake III Arena game source by making it so that new projects will automatically compile into their proper directories under your Q3A directory, and the program also serves as what is described as a powerful source code backup tool. Version 1.0.0 is an under 40 KB download that includes the source code, and the author describes it as allowing mod developers "to add their own custom files into NewMod's archival routines and to allow for future Q3A source updates without having to touch the executable code."
