Hello again! In this video, I show you step-by-step how I setup ioQuake3 with Quake 3 Arena and Team Arena. Singleplayer & Multiplayer both work, but I don't demo the multiplayer. Some guy irritated me on multiplayer the other day, because his skill level was a god compared to mine. I could not touch him. STILL beats fighting bots though!

I have been stressing myself about getting this video over with lately, because I already had some instructional videos for Quake 1 & 2. Thanks to the guy who made my intro sound and the guy who programmed ioQuake3! I will never cease to be amazed by what people have done with source ports, giving us the ability to run old games on modern machines with new operating systems!

Here is a complete copy of the instructions that I wrote for myself. It's got the necessary links and scripting:

ioQuake 3 Installation Instructions

1) Go to ioquake3 homepage and download file Linux.zip
https://ioquake3.org/get-it/

2) Unzip file to games folder or preferred place

3) Copy pak0.pak file for Quake 3 to baseq3 folder

4) Copy pak0.pak file for Team Arena to missionpack folder

5) Extract Quake 3 Point files and copy to their proper folders

6) Download and extract Quake 3 Neural Upscale mod from moddb. (Or whatever texture mod you prefer). They do have better textures, but some of them are HUGE.
