Admin is a modification for Quake made by Doug Keegan. This modification is designed to aid players that run designated servers, since clients cannot change game parameters, by providing a three impulse combination password to be given administrator rights. For this password to work properly, it must be bound to a key, typing the impulses will not give administrator rights. By default the combination is impulse 82, impulse 105, and impulse 112.
Note that the impulse combination is only retained for the length of a level. A player wishing to get admin rights once more would need to press the button once again after said level was completed.
Unlike most modifications at the time, this mod was released as a "source code" file, meaning the user was expected to copy various lines of text and insert them in the correct .qc files. This was done because the author felt that most would be integrating the content into pre-existing modifications.
