There is a q-ball mod for Quake 3.  But it is a paintball mod and not
related to mplayer q-ball for Q1  which i desribed above.

There was another great mod for Q1 similar to the one you mention above
called SRAMA.  One person was "it" and they were super powerful with lots of
HP and Armor and had quad damage.  Everybody else tried to kill whoever was
it so that they could become it.  After you became it you had 10 seconds
before you could move so that other players had time to regroup to try to
kill you.
