Here is the latest version of the map viewer & a map pak to play with (includes maps & textures).

Do enjoy !!

Please note, if you wish to view your favorite quake 3 map, you will probably have to conver the textures to 24bit or 32bit uncompressed TGA images. Quake 3 uses a mix of TGA & JPG images.
