I think the default installation location for Quake 3 is C:\Program Files\Quake III Arena Once inside that folder, go to baseq3 and open pak0.pk3 with a program that can read ZIP files (a .pk3 file is basically a zip file with a different filename extension). In the zip file you'll find a textures folder and in there are all the textures.

The path may not even exist in your Q3A installation if you never made a map because everything is distributed in pk3 files usually. This means that if you have a pk3 file (e.g. a custom map file named somemap.pk3) in baseq3/ and it contains image files in a textures/ sub directory, these textures will also show up in radiant. This also applies to the stock game media of course, it is in the pak0.pk3 file. I think having stuff outside of a pk3 file leads to sv_pure issues, you may need to use /devmap instead of /map in the in-game console to load a map and/or set sv_pure 0 on the command line. Haven't done something for q3a in quite a while though, not 100% sure on this. _________________ my FPS maps
