Hi, I recently was given a gift of Quake 3 Arena from a friend. I run OSX on both macs I have and my friend thinking that she was doing something nice for me (which it was), bought an Quake 3 for OS9 - no OSX installer Is there an installer to make it work in OS X or is this game useless to me in OSX? I was thinking of the way you could get an installer to make the Sims work in OSX....
Thanks very much..

just drag the folder into applications, and install the OS X patch, youll be as good as new.

First download this. Run the installer. Then copy pak0.pk3 from the baseq3 folder on the Quake CD to the baseq3 folder in your new Quake III Folder.

Hehe, we posted the same file, but his instructions are right, then you'll be fragging away!

Did you happen to get that link from a certain user's reply in the Powerbook forum the other day ?

Heh, nah, I've had Quake III laying around for awhile, it's waiting to be installed on my 17" PB when it arrives, along w/ SoF II & RtCW, and in preparation I went to VersionTracker and got all the latest patches so I'd have the games updated when I installed them, so that's how I knew about that patch...I did, however, ask about installing Quake III b/c it's OS9-only out of the box, and I found out how
