How to Play Challenge ProMode Arena
  1. Get the game data: Quake III Arena on Steam or GOG, or the original CD.

  3. It runs on its own engine, CNQ3 - grab it from PlayMorePromode (it bundles the CPMA mod), point it at your Quake III baseq3 data, and you're ready.

Joining a server Copy the connect string, open the console with ~, and type /connect ip:port.
