With Source, there's a lot of detailed information on in-game units, such as player speed, bounding blocks, etc. Check this page: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Dimensions Where can I find similar info for Quake 3 and ioquake3?

If you are interested you should have a look at the source code, mainly in the player movement code: https://github.com/id-Software/Quake-II ... move.c#L39 For mappers these values aren't important, though!
