short answer: no that is not possible

long answer: no that is not possible, unless you create a Mod which runs on the server and every player on the server has it installed (otherwise they can't play on that server). It probably even involves coding in C++

Coding in C++ isn't necessary but you do need a mod to add sound events that don't exist in VQ3.

are in-game events somehow hook-able through script files?

[^misantropia^]

No.

[Eraser]

thought so.
Then it would involve coding, unless you just want to replace existing sound files

I'm so glad quake 3 went with pure servers. I fucking hate how every other game like cs let's these kiddie admins upload stupid ass sounds like the simpsons nelson 'haha!' or some stupid fucking jingle that would play over and over every 10 seconds (mostly when someone got a headshot or suicide). That alone makes you cringe in discust and want to quit playing those games.

couldn't the admin have an extra pk3 file that replaces quake3 sounds for events and make clients download it.

or even just the client have the sounds on a non-pure server?

[^misantropia^]

Yes. But you can't add new events this way, only replace the sounds of existing events.

oh ya misread "when on threewave" as well.
can't be done without editing threewave code.

Yes that would both probably be possible, but it's not possible to tie sounds to new events.
