Some people might not like the look of vanilla Quake 3 Arena so lets change that!
Let's start with the base of the game
To get the best out of the game with updated security and alt-tab function with higher resolution support you will want to download this and follow instructions from the site. http://ioquake3.org/get-it/
HD Icons & font plus miscellaneous bug fixes. ( Thanks to ZerTerO on moddb )
This modder has made updated fonts and other things to modernize Quake 3 at higher resolutions. Link will have provided instructions to install. http://www.moddb.com/mods/high-quality-quake/downloads
HD Texture pack from ioquake team
The guys over at ioquake have an HD texture pack to spruce the game up and make it look up to date to the Quake Live counterpart. Instructions are provided in the link. http://ioquake3.org/extras/replacement_content/
Field of view change ( FOV )
Here is a command line for adjusting the FOV in Quake 3 + Team Arena expansion, This might not work for ioquake but for the vanilla game it works. Type or copy into the command line in game "/cg_fov 120" Change digits to choose FOV you desire.
Low memory error fix ( ONLY USE IF YOU HAVE THIS PROBLEM )
Mods or other changes take memory and sometimes you might get this error of low memory so the easy way to fix this is typing this into the command line in game "seta com_hunkmegs 96"
Stuck Fire and mouse responsiveness fix ( ONLY USE IF YOU HAVE THIS PROBLEM )
if you experience stuck firing and mouse feels odd when aiming type this into the games command line in game "\in_mouse -1" Use this for Quake 3 & Team Arena expansion.
Texture slider reset fix ( ONLY USE IF YOU HAVE THIS PROBLEM )
This is a very rare problem but if you have it well here is the fix, Copy this into the games in game command line "r_picmip 0" and "r_texturemode GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR" This can be applied to Team Arena as well if it has the problem.
