Hi,

check WesternQuake3 on ModDB. This is where all stuffs rests in peace concerning that good old Quake3 Mod.

Of course, you need Quake3 Arena game or you won't be able to start the mod.

Where to get Quake 3 Arena ?

Q3 is not free. You need to buy it from Ebay, Amazon, Steam, etc.

[Bart202]

Hehe, is there a way to get it for free ?

[Pardner]

We cannot discuss pirating software on these forums. The best I can do is say borrow it from a buddy.

Steam price is HORRIBLE. I recommend ebay, possible even your local used game shop (if they even exist). Here is the the cheapest one shipping to Germany:

Keep a watch out for a better price. Don't have an Ebay/Paypal account? Make one! Can't make one? Find some one who has one! I bought my Q3 for $4USD and it even cam with a manual!

Code: Select all

$ md5sum baseq3/pak0.pk3
1197ca3df1e65f3c380f8abc10ca43bf  baseq3/pak0.pk3
$ du -h baseq3/pak0.pk3
458M   baseq3/pak0.pk3


Use this to Google downloads (e.g. pak0.pk3 inurl:baseq3 intitle:"index of"), err, check your legit installation
Don't forget to download ioquake3 with the "Data Installer".

I don't know if anyone was successful at getting WQ3 running with OpenArena, but I know some attempts were made. Honestly, SG1.0 is basically the same as WQ3 2.2. We fixed the knife bug, changed some names. I don't know how much work was done with the engine.

Install ioQ3. Download openarena & extract pak0.pk3, then put that pak0.pk3 in the baseq3 folder of ioQ3. Then install the WQ mod. You may be missing a few textures, but this will probably get it running.
Like Pardner said, WQ 2.2 is a downgraded version of SG 1.0 & I'm not sure why you'd go through the trouble for that.



WQ 1.2 on the other hand is worth seeing for nostalgic reasons, just because it is so different.

Thank you you ReD for sharing with us these gems of history!

Why we don't have this maps in sg, like Silver city etc ?

They aren't scaled correctly. In other words, the player models look too small compared to the world around them.
It was ICI's decision to leave these maps out of the WQ3 2.0 release.
