Subscribe to the Steam Workshop item to download and automatically update extraQL.
After the download you can find the extraQL files under:
c:\program files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\workshop\content\282440\539252269
- changed requirement to .NET Framework 4.7.2 so that it can run on Win10 without additional installation of .NET 2.0/3.5
- improved log output when steam initialisation failes due to starting extraQL directly from the steam library
- added latest version of qlstats.js
- improved auto-detection of steam ID and allow manual override in extraQL.ini
- use Steamworks API to determine current user's Steam-ID. Use that Steam-ID for QL's user config folder (<steamid>\baseq3)
- added qlstats userscript (formerly the inofficial _elo userscript)
- added indicator for deactivated accounts to /whois (cheaters or otherwise special people)
- quakeTV 1.1: fixed couple issues with auto-following
- quakeTV 1.0 now capable to track CA matches and switch POV when a player dies
- added quakeTV prototype script (can't handle full or password protected servers yet)
- /whois: switched back to /players now that QL no longer returns duplicate steam IDs
- /whois: switched back to /configstrings to work around the bugged duplicate steamids in /players output
- fixed /whois when console dump includes timestamps (also using the less spammy /players command now to get player info)
- show warning when the offical UI in web.pak is newer than the currently selected alternative UI
- added /whois userscript to show alias nicknames
- improved detection of Quake Live directory when it's installed outside the standard steam folder. (Only works when extraQL is started from the workshop item folder.)
- improved forwarding focus to an already running QL window when re-starting extraQL with enabled option to auto-start QL
- When option "Auto-Start QL" is active and you try to start a 2nd extraQL, extraQL will now bring the QL window to the foreground or start QL instead of bringing the extraQL GUI to the foreground. You can now always use the extraQL desktop shortcut to start QL.
- When option "Auto-Start QL" is active and the Steam Client wasn't running, extraQL no longer tries to start Steam and QL at the same time to avoid the misleading Steam popup about 2 Steam Clients running under different user accounts.
- Added config screen to enable/disable individual scripts.
- Increased font size
- When extraQL cannot initialize steam_api.dll, there is now a fallback to AppID 1007, which in some scenarios can fix the problem. If that happens, the "Steamworks SDK Redist" will show up in your Steam Client's "Recent" list.

- setting default weapon to railgun in InstaBounce
- fixed instaBounce config being reset after map change
- fixed issues with instaBounce.js not restoring the original config and printing messages on non-InstaBounce servers.

- added command line parameter /background to start extraQL minimized (used by SteamServerBrowser when auto-starting extraQL)
