programs.ioquake3.baseq3

Path to the directory containing the baseq3 files (pak*.pk3).

Defaults to the freely redistributable demo data (pak0) merged with the 1.32 point release files (pak1-pak8), so the game runs out of the box without owning a retail copy.

This value is passed directly as fs_basepath, so pak files are searched for in ${baseq3}/baseq3/, e.g. a value of /var/lib/quake3 expects /var/lib/quake3/baseq3/pak0.pk3 and so on. To use a full retail install instead, point this at the directory containing its baseq3 folder.
