Due to legal restrictions, server owners must supply their own "pak0.pk3" files. These files contain essential elements like maps, textures, sound effects, and other game data.
You can find this file within your original Quake 3 Arena CD-ROM. Specifically, look in the Quake3/baseq3 directory of the CD-ROM. Alternatively, you can purchase and download a legitimate copy of Quake 3 Arena from GOG. After purchasing, download and locate the pak0.pk3 file in the game's directory.
