it is impossible for Quake III Arena to operate without a baseq3 folder.

Well in that case, download all the maps and skins you want.

Where should i copy them then?

even if you some how delete your baseq3 folder once you fire up the game it automatically creates a new baseq3 folder, so you saying you dont have a baseq3 folder is kinda impossible.
you have the full game and not just the demo dont you?

Re-install your copy of quake. Make sure it installs to the default location which is c:\program files\quake iii arena\

Once you've done this you will have a \baseq3\ folder in c:\program files\quake iii arena\baseq3. If you don't, you're probably trying to install quake 3 on a toaster or something.

Once you've done this, your downloaded .pk3 map files go in c:\program files\quake iii arena\baseq3\

Hmm...i got the demo version .Should i try to reinstall it?

You need a full copy of the game. You can buy it very, very easily using Steam for about $20 (£10)

So no full game no baseq3?

Probably not. The assumption is that if you want support for the game then you have a copy of the game.

The demo is not the game, it's a cut-down partly-functional piece of it and nothing more.

Hmm...that explains it.Thanks for your time .
