This is a port of ioquake3, an improved source port of idTech 3, the engine running Quake III: Arena.

vitaQuakeIII supports Quake III: Arena, OpenArena and Quake III: Team Arena.

Note: It is suggested not to mess up with Setup menu since the release will have an already tweaked config file that should offer a good framerate without downgrading too much graphics. If you want to change some settings, edit q3config file inside baseq3 folder.

Installation

Install libshacccg.suprx, if you don't have it already, by following this guide.

To use full game files, you'll need data files updated to latest patch available.

  • For standard game, place pk3 files from baseq3 folder to ux0:data/ioq3/baseq3 folder.
  • For Quake 3: Team Arena, place pk3 files from missionpack folder to ux0:data/ioq3/missionpack folder.

User guide

How to use lower resolutions

To use lower resolutions to improve framerate more, edit in q3config file the r_mode parameter to:

  • 0 = 480x272
  • 1 = 640x368
  • 2 = 720x408
  • 3 = 960x544

How to enable dynamic lights and mipmaps

If you used to play vitaQuakeIII before v.1.0 release, you probably have those two features disabled in your config files. To enable them edit:

  • r_dynamiclight from 0 to 1
  • r_textureMode from GL_LINEAR to GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR or GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_NEAREST

Regarding OpenArena core

OpenArena core doesn't use OpenArena engine but still ioquake3 engine.

This means some stuffs (especially in the renderer) are missing (eg. the particles renderer).

Controls

D-Pad/Left Analog - Move character

Right Analog/Touchscreen - Move Camera

L - Aim

R - Shoot

Cross - Jump

Square - Crouch

Circle - Use Item
