I could put all the effort in the world but if I don't have the CD nor a PC, how am I suppose to do this? thanks to the post below yours, I will search for the files needed but I still need a PC I think to move the files around.

You totally don't need a PC to do this. Remember, the N900 is a full blown Computer! Just Google search on the N900 for the files from Google. Then you can use the file manager to make the needed directory on your memory card. When you find the files, just save them directly to the directory you just created. No PC needed!
The only scenario where I can see a PC being required is if the files are packed up in an .exe file, which only PCs can extract. If they are in zip, tar, gzip or any other compressed format you can unpack them right on the Nokia.
(unzip utilities are available from extras or extras-devel, or extras-testing, I can't remember. All other compression methods should work from the N900's terminal by default).
Just a simple question:
Which repository is Q3 in ?
Is it optifyied ?
It's either extras-devel, or extras-testing. Since the data files for this game are loaded by the user in either your home directory (internal mass memory) or the memory card, the optimized status doesn't really affect the space used. The actual binary and config files for Quake 3 that would reside in /usr/bin or /opt/bin are REALLY tiny.
When I was trying to make space on my /root partition for the last OTA update I uninstalled Quake3 and it didn't make any noticeable difference in the root space consumption.

A full blown PC with a very non user friendly interface when it comes to accessing directories you aren't meant to go in. e.g you can't access system directories from File Manager.
So let's say I have the files, I save them into a newly created folder I just made, how is Quake suppose to know where to look? Does it scan every storage medium? I doubt it. Surely the file has to be placed in a system/game folder???

You can typically use zip (or 7z) to extract self-extracting zip files (exe)

The Quake3 binary is hard coded to look for a quake data file folder called "baseq3" in either the "N900" top level or "Memory Card" top level areas that are visible from your file manager.
Both areas, not matter which one you choose, are fully accessible from the built in GUI file manager. No terminal access needed.

Thanks. I don't think you mentioned the top level bit in your instructions earlier, if you did, i'm sorry.
Hello, is there a way to fix the lighting? It appears that the lighting is coded to vertex even though it shows lightmap in settings. The lighting is drastically different, as in missing. if I change the settings, the game crashes.
can somebody help me ..... my character keeps turning and turning non stop, i reconfigured the controls to stop running and several combinations but still the character annoyingly keeps turning.
Is there a way to stop it?
here's the scenario:
I played quake the first time, character keeps running, I don't know how to quit the program so I restarted the phone without proper exit, when I played again the turning of character appeared, he just doesn't stop turning.
I uninstalled the program and removed pak files, reinstalled and reloaded pak files still the same thing
