Quake III Arena auto-attack mod

Automatically shoot if there is a player in your crosshairs.

Useful for touchscreens and maybe other non-mouse input devices.

Usage

The installation steps for this mod are the same as for almost every other mod.

1. Download the mod file (.pk3)

2. Put the .pk3 file alongside the pak0.pk3 file of your game, usually
   C:\Programs (x86)\ioquake3\baseq3 or
   C:\Programs (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Quake 3 Arena\baseq3. For Team Arena the final folder is missionpack instead of baseq3.

   The directory structure will look like this:

   Quake 3 Arena
   ├── baseq3
   │   ├── pak0.pk3
   │   ├── pak1.pk3
   │   ├── pak2.pk3
   │   ├── pak3.pk3
   │   ├── pak4.pk3
   │   ├── pak5.pk3
   │   ├── pak6.pk3
   │   ├── pak7.pk3
   │   ├── pak8.pk3
   │   └── pak999-baseq3-auto-attack-mod.pk3
   ├── missionpack
   │   ├── pak0.pk3
   │   └── pak999-missionpack-auto-attack-mod.pk3
   └── quake3.exe
   

   If you don't have missionpack, you don't need to create it.

3. Start the game.

4. Open the console (~ key).

5. \set g_autoAttack 1 to enable auto-attack on the server.

6. \set cg_autoAttack 1 to enable auto-attack on the client.

7. Aim at someone.

Both the server and the clint must set the respective variables to 1 in order for auto-attack to work.
