ioquake3 is an open-source, community-maintained engine port of Quake III Arena, compatible with the original game data.
Client setup
⚠︎
Warning: The ioquake3 module is not yet upstream and will be available in the upcoming NixOS 26.11 release.
The game can be installed and configured using the dedicated programs.ioquake3 option.
programs.ioquake3 = {
enable = true;
settings = {
name = "onny";
com_maxfps = 125;
cg_frawFPS = true;
cg_fov = 115;
r_mode = "-1";
r_customheight = 1080;
r_customwidth = 1920;
model = "sarge/default";
};
};
ioquake3 will use the demo game files. If you have purchased the game and have a full copy, you can point programs.ioquake3.baseq3 to the baseq3 file system path.
Dedicated server setup
⚠︎
Warning: Parts of this module are not yet upstream and will be available in the upcoming NixOS 26.11 release.
Following snippet will enable a Quake 3 Arena dedicated server. The map q3dm7 will be loaded.
services.quake3-server = {
enable = true;
openFirewall = true;
settings = {
rconPassword = "super_secret";
sv_hostname = "My NixOS Quake 3 Arena Dedicated Server";
};
# Configure map rotation
extraConfig = ''
set d1 "map q3dm7 ; set nextmap vstr d2"
set d2 "map q3dm1 ; set nextmap vstr d1"
vstr d1
'';
};
The server will use the demo game files, so various maps and assets won't be available.
If you have purchased the game and have a full copy, you can point services.quake3-server.baseq3 to the baseq3 file system path. Setting it, for example, to /var/lib/quake3, the game file is to be expected at /var/lib/quake3/.q3a/baseq3/pak0.pk3.
