How do I make the OpenArena pk3s work with a vanilla ioq3 build?

By setting com_standalone 1 and the proper values for fs_game and fs_homepath : eg , in linux

I assume OA is installed in ~/OpenArena

Code:

cd ~/OpenArena

./ioquake3.i386 +set com_standalone 1 +set fs_game baseoa  +set fs_homepath "~/.openarena"

But I've never tried indeed , I've used the same procedure with proper fs_game and fs_homepath values for Urban Terror to skip loading all the Q3 maps I have in ~/.q3a/baseq3 so to save lots of memory

It doesn't really work, the protocol on ioQ3 is set at the old 68 (0.7) value, so you'll pick up a shitton of UrT servers and not much else.
I think protocol is set at compile, so you'll have to grab the source, etc if you want it to work properly.

Open console and try with /connect <IP>:<Port>
