Okay, **BOOM!** der-u-go! I figured out how to run OpenArena in ioquake3! I’m sure this would have been obvious to everyone else, but here’s what I did, for posterity:

1. Copy `openarena-0.8.8/baseoa/*.pk3` to `~/.q3a/openarena/`, _NOT_ `build/*/baseq3`, as I imagined, or `~/.q3a/baseq3`.

2. run ioquake3 with `+set com_basegame openarena` (or whatever folder you moved your stalone mod to!

3. Revel in your ability to throw shit at the wall and watch it stick!
