Intergrating Quake 2 sounds into Quake 3?
Intergrating Quake 2 sounds into Quake 3?
is there a way to intergrate the Quake 2 sounds (i.e. item pickups, gun sounds etc..) into Quake 3? If there is some sort of sound pack availible that would be nice. thanks in advance!
you can do that yourself by creating a zip file with the same directory structure as quake3's pk3 files (pk3s are just zip files renamed).
however, you cant play online if you load custom sounds..

I'm going to be pendantic again by pointing out that the sounds in Quake 2 are intellectual property owned by id Software. It's not legally allowed to re-distribute those sounds.
For personal use though, you could extract the sounds from the Quake 2 PAK files (they're normal WAV files) using an editor like QPed. Then add those files (in the same folder structure) again to a zip file. Then rename the zipfile's extension (.zip) to .pk3, place it in your baseq3 folder and make sure the filename of the new pk3 file has a name that would end up later in the list than pak0.pk3 when ordered alphabetically (so mynewsounds.pk3 would be wrong, but zmynewsounds.pk3 would be OK)
