The server and the administrator of the server determines the game settings. On certain servers, some settings are voteable for change such as gametype.

If you want to start and setup your own server I suggest you check out d0gmA's Quake 3 Server Setup Guide and Dekard's article, The Q3A Guide - Setting Up a Server.

It may be easier for you to use Q3ASC, a program that allows you to easily configure a Q3 server through a GUI interface. Check the How to page to learn how to use the program. It's also worth mentioning that the OSP mod provides a similar program, "OSP Config Generator.exe" located in your "Quake III Arena\osp" directory, that is if you wish to create an OSP server.

Good Luck!

Mods (short for modifications) are made by the general public, and can be entirely new games upon themselves. They can include new items, weapons, characters, enemies, models, modes, textures, levels, and story lines.

OSP is a mod for Quake 3 that is designed to facilitate competitive, yet flexible, match play. OSP does change any of the core game elements or its dynamics -- its all default Quake 3 in this regard. Instead it makes it easier and more convenient for players and admins alike to enhance the Quake 3 experience through enhanced client/server-side support and options. A server running the OSP mod can be referred to as an OSP server.

OSP allows you to effectively change everything in the interface so that it fits your whims. There are also added parts to the multiplayer that make it easier than standard quake for tournament play. Such improvements include only allowing players to start a match after each had declared their readiness, additional colors for names and rails, additional stats on the score window, and much more.
