CPMA - Guides - Installation

Guides

Tutorial by Plaisi.

You can just use the Pro Installer 2, which contains all the needed for Quake 3 and its main mods. It also contains most of the maps. It dispenses you for the next steps (you still need a pak0.pk3).

Files Requirements

Official website:

The official Challenge Promode Arena website provides the official and latest releases of CPMA and CNQ3. PlayMorePromode.org

Essentials:

pak0.pk3 ( you really should consider buying the game though.. )
Quake 3 Arena Point Release 1.32c
CPMa 1.48

Note: CDkey is not absolutly needed since it is rarely verified, and there are a tons of them on google if you want to get rid of the CDKey verification while lauching CPMA.
But some servers are checking it, and you'll be kicked quickly if you don't have a valid one.
If you have a genuine one from your Quake CD or Steam or whatever, you must use it in priority. You can likewise use a key-generator if you have one.

Packages:

There are some packages containing most of the needed about CPMA and some help.

Start-up package including CNQ3, ioquake3 and Quake3e.exe (Fraglove.com) clients , some custom maps and installation instructions.

Clients:

These have some improvements over quake3.exe, but you can use that just as well.

Challenge Quake 3 1.46
Quake3e.exe (Fraglove.com client)
Ioquake3
EZQuake 3 (dead link, here is a temporary replacement).
