You are taking steps towards putting an effort forward. That is all we can ask of you. Just remember, a person that try can improve whilst a person that refuses to show an inch of effort is when the structure falls apart. Your early attempts will probably have mistakes, we all do. It took a while for me to get to a decent format and I probably still make errors. Yet the attempt alone will give a greater form and ability for improvement than one made carelessly.

Raadec would be able to determine better than me, he is the Quake 2 guru while my place is with Quake 1. If we are just going by Steam, that is just a different medium and so is not a problem (We don't require you to have the box, just the same game inside or something that can be considered official). When I meant nonvanilla, I meant more like a custom sourceport (like Darkplaces for Quake 1 that adds improved graphics and effects). The patch might be debatable, but I am sure that Raadec would agree that if it just fixes something that already existed than it is fine. If it adds improved graphics, new sound effects, changes the main menu, adds extra controls, ect then it would be less likely to be accepted (I do know of ways to add music to those old games, if the music was on an audio cd, as Quake 1's music never worked for me so if the patch did do more we can definately try the alternative). Wait a minute.... Raadec! Remember how you said you never had music for JK? Well, I have a solution that will probably work even if I haven't tried it myself (why didn't I mention this at the time?). If you are curious just say so and we will talk about it on the appropriate posting (just mentioning it here as it was brought up).

Don't feel bad about it. I was born in 95. Scary thing is that you are starting about the same age that I started here. Good luck!
