Quake III Arena Sound Changing

[Fulgore]

Yes, it's an old game but found it laying in a pile of old CD's while looking for something else lol. I was wondering if anyone on this site had any idea how to make new sounds for Quake III Arena? For characters, weapons, item pickups, really anything and everything that's a sound. I just want to know what it takes to put different sounds to replace ones that are there.

As far as I know it takes .pak3 files to get stuff to work in Quake III Arena, but I have no idea how that all works or what can help me to do it.

Any guidence here would be fantastic!

.pk3 is just a compressed file, like a .zip


Quake stores maps in BSPs, I'm not sure where you'd store sounds.

Well I kinda figured that out myself, but I still have no idea where to start with putting my own sounds. I assume it's probably something script related? Does anyone know? lol.

probably edit the .pak files
