FTE supports Quake3, singleplayer and multiplayer.

To play against bots, you need "botlib.dll" in your Quake folder.

YOU MUST INSTALL THE QUAKE3 PATCH: VERSION 1.32!

Any other version is not unsupported by FTE.

The patch is available at many places, but I would advise you get from this location: id Software's official site This ensures you don't pick up a virus.

There are 2 methods to use FTE to play Quake3
1: Copy the FTE client to the /quake3/ folder, and load FTE and you are off


2: Usually you would copy all the Quake3 pak files from /quake3/baseq3/ into the /quake/fte/ folder. But there is a trick to avoid this.

I load have a batch file called "FTE (Quake3).bat", which avoids copying all pak files from the quake3 folder, which contains the following:

fteglqw.exe -basedir c:\games\quake -basegame id1 -basegame qw -basegame ..\quake3\baseq3 -basegame fte +exec noodlesqw +exec noodlesfte +exec noodlesirc

Above assumes that Quake is installed in c:\games\quake\ and Quake3 is installed in c:\games\quake3\
