In case anyone likes to play Quake with a gamepad I recently made this add-on which adds Dark Soul III style target lock. (Click L3 to toggle. Breaking line of sight breaks the target lock.)

Some might consider this "cheating" but in my opinion aiming with a mouse is so much easier that using a mouse against players using gamepads more resembles cheating.

I used to play q3l competitively and I can’t imagine trying to get any real results using a gamepad without help. That’s a neat idea.
