Using Q3A 1.17 and 1.25 -- 5:30 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

I found an easy way to use the 1.25 patch for Quake III Arena while still using mods. It's pretty simple, since Q3A doesn't set any interfering registry entries or scatter DLLs all over your drive.

If you haven't installed the 1.25 patch yet copy your Quake III Arena and Quake III Arenabaseq3 directories to a new location (I used Quake III Arena 125). Then install the 1.25 patch in the new Quake III Arena 125 directory.

If you have installed the 1.25 patch copy the Quake III Arena and Quake III Arenabaseq3 directories as noted above. Then delete Quake III Arenabaseq3pak4.pk3 and reinstall the 1.17 patch in the Quake III Arena directory.

Then you will have two directories, one with 1.17 and one with 1.25 in it. If you want to use mods, choose the 1.17 directory. If you want to take advantage of the new features in 1.25, use the 1.25 directory. Granted you will need about a half gig free on your hard drive, but it will do the trick in the meantime.
