Just to make it clear, I wont take any responsibilities from the damage you might cause by following my instructions and so on (not that this would be any dangerous), so if you cant use common sense, dont blame me. If you doubt yourself at all, dont even try this.
You could also reinstall and do something while the installer takes its time. Or you can do it my way, which takes 10 seconds (I got the files in a folder at my desktop).
Theres are 2 ways to do it, with one you can play 1.0 q4base + mods and the other way only the mods work.
::This way you can fully downgrade to v1.0 without a need to reinstall
1) Make sure you have your Quake 4 DVD or CDs next to you before reading any further.
2) You need to delete these files from your Quake 4 folder:
mayaimportx86.dll , mss32.dll , mssvoice.asi , quake4.exe and toolsx86.dll
3) After that browse to your q4base directory and delete these files:
game000.pk4 , game100.pk4 , game200.pk4 , pak014.pk4 , pak015.pk4 and zpak_english_02.pk4
4) Now copy these files from your dvd/cd to your quake 4 directory:
mayaimportx86.dll , mss32.dll , mssvoice.asi , quake4.exe and toolsx86.dll
5) And this to your q4base directory:
game000.pk4
And now you have your old precious V1.0 back. Have Fun.
::If you only need the old version to play mods
This way you can't load Quake 4 to vanilla nor connect to vanilla servers.
You can only load Q4 if you load it with a mod.
1) Backup your V1.1 quake4.exe so you can go back to FFA in 1.1 servers when ever you want.
2) Now copy your old quake4.exe from the DVD/CD to your Quake4 folder and you're ready to go.
and now you can just switch between the exes to change the version, but remember: you CANT play in a q4base server, nor even load VQ4 when youre using v1.0 .exe. You have to load the game by connecting to a server with a mod or by adding +set fs_game modhere to the command line.
