1. Quake 3 Mods High Quality

Getting started with Quake modding. This is intended as a basic guide to getting the resources needed to start making a mod, some suggestions on first mods to make to learn the language and nature of Quake modding, and links to forums and IRC channels and other resources relevant to Quake modding.

Quake III: Gold includes the base game along with the Quake III: Team Arena expansion. Vanilla The original, closed-source versions of the game still work for online multiplayer. Many users may prefer to use more recent, improved engines based on the source code release. id Software launched a free-to-play browser-based port of Quake III titled, that has since migrated to Steam and is no longer free-to-play.

Most players have migrated to this service to continue playing, as it adds new features and game modes, and improves compatibility with newer systems.Essential improvements Official patch. ↑ When running this game without Administrator elevation, activity in%PROGRAMFILES%,%PROGRAMFILES(X86)%, and might be redirected to VirtualStore. ↑ File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for (use to access Windows registry paths).

DreamedArtist: Yes it does there is no known fix for that yet. I am currently trying to program a fix to stack intro and other videos over the resolution fix to prevent it from going black screen. Tonight I decided to see how ioQuake3 works with the game, and on doing so I found out that using ioQuake3 allows you to set a widescreen resolution (I'm using 1680x1050) via the menu settings and it still plays the cutscenes. Not sure if the cutscenes are stretched or hor- though, as they fill the screen, but either way it isn't really a concern considering what the cutscenes are. Crosmando: Anyone got any comments on what ioQuake is like?

Does it work with the GOG version? Does it automatically do most of the stuff listed here? Right now I think getting the download from there is more useful for Mac and Linux users. For you Mac guys:1. Get Wineskin and ioq3, then download the Windows EXE for Q3.2. Open Wineskin, download both the latest wrapper and version of Wine using the buttons. This is pretty self-explanatory.3.

Create a new blank wrapper, name it whatever. You don't need to add anything (Gecko, mono, etc) unless you plan on using it for something else, as you won't be running it.4. Click on the wrapper, click install software. Click choose setup executable.5.

Let it do it's magic.6. Refer to the setup instructions on ioquake3's readme. To get to your files, right click on your wrapper and click on show package contents.

Go through the folders, when you come to GOG Games that's where the content is for Quake 3. Make sure to get both the main game and Team Arena's pak files.There you go, you have Quake 3 native. Confirmed to work with El Capitan and everything below. This does indeed work with the Hi-Res textures.Oh, and by the way: the Catch-The-Chicken mod sitting in the Windows downloads? Grab that, you can extract the EXE with The Unarchiver. Stick the ctc folder in your base and you have the mod ready to go. When I try to run ioquake3 it gives me the error 'You need to install Quake 3 Arena.'

I had already put the pak0.pk3 file from my Quake 3 installation into the baseq3 folder of ioquake3 's directory. Is it not reading the correct path?Update: I finally got ioquake3 to run by just putting all the pk3 files in that baseq3 folder. But now every time I try to join a MP game, it keeps re-asking me for the CD-key. I checked the folder and the CD-key is already there, why does it keep asking me for this every time?

IIRC the PK3 data in the windows version is a seperate installer for ioQ3 due to rights. You might want to install that even though you're using the originals, I'm not sure if they're the same thing or not.Your CD Key may need to be re-entered for the source port, it's been a while since I've last done that. IoQ doesn't have Punkbuster anyway, so the Key is really not required to play multiplayer. IronArcturus: When I try to run ioquake3 it gives me the error 'You need to install Quake 3 Arena.'

Your Q3 Key (q3key) and q3config.cfg files should be in your baseq3 folder in your GOG or Steam versions of Quake III.

Either should work with ioquake3. So copy those along with the PAK files to the baseq3 folder in ioquake3.
