    Where can I learn about mods? I don't know what that is. But, I tried to
look on that page which has the join game link on it and it did say  q2dm1
popular here. What is  q2dm1.  Is that the mod. what is the mod and where
could I learn about mods?  I don't even know what mod means. I just started
playing quake online the other day. And, this is my first online gaming
experience.  Is a mod something that determines what commands that can be
entered into the console? I have played games offline though, so I was able
to pick up the game fast before I started playing online. But, I don't know
what a mod is though.
