Q: I made some UI changes to ioq3 and recompiled it, but when I go to run it, I get stock Quake 3 menus/UI! What gives? A: QVMs probably. QVMs are probably taking precedence, there's a command line you can use that forces .so instead. From what benmachine says, try: "+set sv_pure 0 +set vm_ui 0" on the command line "which is good for testing especially if you want to use gdb." So something like "+set sv_pure 0 +set vm_ui 0 +set vm_game 0 +set vm_cgame 0" should work. > Quake3 uses either a DLL or a so called "QVM" file.

The same *.c can be compiled by a different C compiler (called > lcc) and then converted into VM code. This compiler distributed as part of > the tools for ioquake3 as well.
