Here's an ebuild for q4max.
/usr/local/portage/games-fps/quake4-max/quake4-max-0.71.ebuild

# $Header: $
inherit versionator games
MY_PN="q4max"
MY_PV=$(delete_all_version_separators)
DESCRIPTION="Competition mod for Quake 4"
HOMEPAGE="http://www.q4max.com/"
SRC_URI="http://www.quake4.fi/files/${MY_PN}${MY_PV}.zip"

great, thanks for that reply. although my q4max restarts every time trying to connect to a server, i'll stick with q4.
now, is there anyone who knows where to get a good server-finder? |

The q4max error regarding restarting Quake is:
| Quote: | | The server is running a different mod (-battle). Restarting.. |
From q4max hompage:
| Quote: | | On a side note, we realize that we are in competition with the X-Battle mod team, and understand that it would be more beneficial for the community to unite into one mod team. We initially attempted to do exactly that: however, after significant talks and many compromises on our part, we were still unable to come to a fair agreement and have thus decided to remain a separate team. |
So, it seems that Quake 4 goes into a loop when asked to join an X-Battle server without having the X-Battle mod installed  |

Here's an ebuild for X-Battle, the rival competition mod to q4max.
/usr/local/portage/games-fps/quake4-battle/quake4-battle-0.12a.ebuild
| Code: | # Copyright 1999-2006 Gentoo Foundation
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
# $Header: $
inherit versionator games
MY_PV=$(delete_all_version_separators)
DESCRIPTION="Competition mod for Quake 4"
HOMEPAGE="http://www.xbattle.de/"
SRC_URI="mirror://filefront/Quake_4/Mods/Mini-Mods/xbmv${MY_PV}.zip"
LICENSE="freedist"

KEYWORDS="~x86"
IUSE=""
RESTRICT="nomirror nostrip"
DEPEND="games-fps/quake4-bin

src_install() {
insinto "${dir}"
doins -r * || die "doins failed"
games_make_wrapper ${PN} "quake4 +set fs_game ${MOD}"
make_desktop_entry ${PN} "Quake IV - X-Battle" "/usr/share/pixmaps/quake4.bmp"
prepgamesdirs
} |
See how easy it is to create ebuilds

| Even easier : Just drop and unzip your favorite mod tarball in your ~/.quake4 folder. |
