Nope, you have to buy the game.

Also in q3, I can use Doom and have all the enemy models as tank/jr. How can I use ayumi and see everybody as sarge?

Ive tried cg_forceenemymodel classic etc, but the only way it works is if I  cg_forcemodels 1 but then everybody is the same as me =( what am I missing here...

Yes, but there's a catch: only you will see the changes!

For example, look inside this zip file I made: http://rapidshare.com/files/363541361/z-liz-to-major.zip.html (http://rapidshare.com/files/363541361/z-liz-to-major.zip.html) (4MB)
I've copied the files of Major and renamed them to match those of Liz.  When you rename the .zip to .pk3 and put it in your baseoa folder, any player using Liz will appear to you as Major. Nothing is overwritten. Give it a spin. This is what you'll have to do to use the model you want. (Make copies of the files of the 3rd party model and rename them to match the files of the model you want to replace. Then put them in another pk3 file.)

This only works because Liz and Major are both in md3 format and comprised of only a head, torso and lower md3 and they both have separate skins for each section. It's only worth trying if both models are made up of the same sections and the skins are organized in the same way.

This is why I like pure servers. Also, OA models are better! ;)

It's not possible. It won't ever be an option in OA.

That's not correct : you cannot set the enemy model in vanilla Q3 ... you can do that only with OSP, CPMA , XBattle or E+

Thx guys, yes I prefer the OA models, but if the server is going to be unpure, then I know some players r going to use bright skins and have an advantage, then I want an advantage too! ;)

cg_forceenemymodel is never going to happen eh? =/
