once you've installed it, you will see that you have 2 quake app files. one is an os 9 app. the other is an os X app. just launch the os X version. simple.
your Quake3 directory-structure should be like this:
Quake3 Folder
---------
Quake3.app
baseq3
pb
baseq3 folder
---------
pak0.pk3
pak1.pk3
pak2.pk3
pak3.pk3
pak4.pk3
pak5.pk3
pak6.pk3
pak7.pk3
pak8.pk3
q3config.cfg
q3key
pb folder
---------
pbag.mac
pbcl.mac
pbsv.mac
htm
if you've got all this in your Q3-folder, everything should be OK. And, we're always helpful in Quake3World.com's Mac-discussion forum

sometimes when you install it will just create a new q3 folder somewhere on your drive. if so, you will need to drag the contents from that into their respective places within your current quake directory.
i found that quake 3 folder, it was in my applications folder, not in my games folder
but uhm im still not there
so i found that map, there is a baseq3, a missionpack a punk buster installer and a quake 3 logo (mac os X)
so i copy those maps from baseq3 folder in the original folder (mac os 9 version) but there is no punkbuster folder in there, then i got some problem choosing the instalation directory, what do i have to select
once again sorry, im not stupid if it comes to computers but im not to handy with games
so good you help me a little further
thx in advance
the punkbuster folder is in the other map (mac os X)
oki lets me teel you what i have so far
i got 2 maps in my games folder
-quake 3 (mac os 9) that my regular map
-quake 3 X (mac os X) the punkbuster installer and pb map is in there together with a baseq3 folder and missionpack, also the quake 3 logo (os X)
oki if you tell me now exaclty what to do i think i can manage it
sorry again for the trouble (im such a noob)
i just have to put al the baseq3 files from the patch map to the original map , and do the same with the mission pack map it that correct? oh ya do i need to unstuff the baseq3 and mission pack documents?
so i placed the pb map in the original, and the logo of quake 3 (mac os X) in the original map
i start it up--> chose installation directory or quit
but i dont know what to select as directory <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" />

it does not matter where the stuff is installed from or to, just as long as you move the contents to their right spots after the installation. i just open the installer from the desktop and let stuff fall where they will then clean up. no problems.
i installed the update
put the baseq3 files in the original folder
the mission pack, the same thing
and the pb file also
then the logo i put in there also
i start up quake and he asks for the installation directory
very weird <img src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" />
i coulndt even see the intro movie the sound shocked a lot and now its excelllent
thank you for haven so much patience with me
yeeeehaaaa
