Late "special request"

You see, i managed in some way (mostly messing with pk3 files, i dont know about modding vm files and all that stuff) to merge team arena features into quake 3 and then i did put the uienchanced mod ( lets you see all maps in your baseq folder, higly customizable skirmish, bots and server experience, in conclusion, GREAT) over them.
why i did this? because the team arena main ui is uselles, i mean, you can only choose the team arena player models in team games , that sucks, and it doesn't have the liberty of bot selection, and the map features that ui enchanced has. At first i could not do it because when loading a map the game said something about "default james skin cant register..bla bla" and it crashed, so i ported the team arena models and skins to original quake 3 (you konw, messing with the upper torsos skin files, and scripts
, the only things i can do).... and it worked GREAT. Thanks to it, now i have a huge selection of models and skins, incluiding the team arena male and female models, and their heads (yes, they work in vq3 
), i even did a blue and red version of PI and FRITSKRIEG for team games... the runes and TA weapons work great, they cant be disabled in the part of the ui mod that lets you disable some items and weapons, but who wants to do that!! ... oh, and the single player tier on tier thing doesn't work, because the missionpack sistem of team arena, it does not upgrade the information on the Q3 single player when you win a match or earn some medals... i dont care about that either 
...
well, the thing is, all works wonderful, for online i play QUAKELIVE (my nick is Soloeldiego
), but nothing beats a higly customizable experience at home, i can set my bots to random skill, choose my favourite lvl map, play FFA TEAMDM TOURNEY CTF... but.... the only way of playing the TA gametypes ONE FLAG CAPTURE THE FLAG, HARVESTER and OBELISK, is starting a CTF match and the tiping in the console g_gametype 5 for one flag (6 and 7 are the others 
, hehe, you already know it, im just exited :P) and then restart the map.... soooooooooooooooooooooooo
may some of you, with the proper knowledge, do a patch or teach me to do it.... i mean, its not a big deal (i guess
, i'm so noob at this), just registering those gametypes in the game... the source code for the ui enchanced was released loooooong ago, so if you know how to help please do it 
sorry for the bad english, for the huge text, and thanks in advance for your time
