Description:
Is green just not your thing? Well seems LD Ash didn't like the color green so much and made this mod to change most of the things in Quake 4 to blue.

------------------------------
LDAQ4 (blue texture mod)
for Quake IV (all ver)
v1.0 (070606)
psyclone72@hotmail.com
------------------------------
About:-
- This is a mere texture mod that changes much of Quake IV's green
marine theme (characters, weapons, items) to blue. It's an extension of
my earlier "Dark-Bloody Strogg Kane" texture mod and as such includes
all of that earlier "mod" content. This is basically my own personal
"theme mod" being a blue fanatic, I've been obsessive recolourising a
fairly large portion of the Quake IV content, Strogg-Kane being the main
reason for this whole package. Quake IV really is a pretty cool game
and I hope some can enjoy it more with this theme mod. I would have
liked to have made a bunch of SP maps with this too, but I don't like to
think of how long that would take with everything else going on.
Installation:-
- Put the various PK4 files into your folder of choice, you can put
them into a \LDAQ4\ folder and launch it from the "mod" menu, or you can
put them into \q4base\ if you choose, it shouldn't cause any problems.
It may also be compatible with other mods that won't override the
textures or MTR files, but I haven't tested it apart from GTX Bloom,
Parallax Mapping and the bot mods, since all of the multiplayer stuff
has been affected by the changes. If some things are still green (like
the marine helmets) then run the mod with this command:-
image_useprecompressedtextures 0

Making blue anything he touches !!! ;-)
I always hated the strogg being tango'd, been looking for a mod like this for a long time 
niceone
Strogg being tango'd lol
Me too, and I've been meaning to do it for a long time. My original goal was to make Strogg-Kane like a ninja-Strogg and cover him in blood. Sorry it took so long.
Cool, btw.. got some other screenies of the changes? And when will and update be released?
Update is still another 2 months away, roughly, and sorry no, the collage image pretty much captures all the main features of the mod.
Some things are blue, some things are not. The marines are the same, their gloves are blue and a lot of items aren't blue. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong? I put them in a folder and run the files from the mod menu. Do I need a patch.
Because I didn't bother including all the DDS files, you need to run the mod with this command:-
image_useprecompressedtextures 0
At the title screen, bring down the console with ~ and enter that, then follow with:-
vid_restart
A nice change from the gaygreen but I think a crimson-red would have been much more appropriate.
Mind if I use some of the textures in my Q4 mods?
Sorry Slayer_2 I missed your comment all this time.
No problem! I can't claim rights to them anyway, all I did was recolourise the originals. Honestly, the _only_ thing I wouldn't like people to use is the mouse cursor. 
I didn't keep the originals per say, but based my own variations and file layouts off of your mod. It was still great help.
