Probe, if you don't know how to use the files, how are you going to compile a game yourself anyway?
You CAN use this game on mac, you need to mount/or burn it first to install it. Download this:

Dumy: Quake live is for windows only. I have Mac.
How can I download engine and use the files from the old game?

Hi, I downloaded the game for mac, but I don't know how to open it. What should I do to play the game?
Dumy2015-03-170 point Mac version
Windows version isn't abandonware, but the quake 3 engine is completely free and there are dozens of free open source games that use it and are free and is in beer.
Search for Quake Live, or Open Arena, or Alien Arena, or Urban Terror or just download the engine and use the files from the old game to compile it yourself.

From Quake Wiki
Mapping tools are devoted to the various tasks of Quake level development.
- 1Level Editors
- 2Map Converters
- 3Map Compiling Tools
Level Editors[edit]
These are CAD-like programs used to construct and populate a level. They include tools to create and modify brushes, apply textures, place and modify entities, and set up simple scripting. Some of these programs have their own proprietary file format for saving levels, but they can all save or export your level to a map file, which is needed by compilers in order to generate a game-ready bsp file.
General Purpose Editors[edit]

| Hectate added a To-Do; The list of editors would look and function better as a table that detailed things like OS, engine compatibility, etc. |
| Than added a To-Do; I moved the list to a table, but left the old links here (edit page to see as it's commented out), since I think we should create a small page for all the editors. It's possible to get information about all of them using internet archive etc. |
Terrain Generators[edit]
Mac tool box warranty. These programs are specialized to generate terrain-like geometry out of brushes, but have no general-purpose editing capabilities. They generate map files that can then be imported into the general purpose level editors.
Map Converters[edit]
A number of games based on id Software's technology use map files as their level source format, but these files differ in format from game to game. Map converters are used to convert map files from one format to another, so that mappers can use a level editor that does not natively support Quake. Commonly supported game formats include Quake 2, Quake III Arena, and Half-Life.
- SleepwalkR's mapconv
- Ericwa's ericw-tools
ericw-tools converts: quake, quake2, valve, bp (brush primitives). Conversions to 'quake' or 'quake2' format may not be able to match the texture alignment in the source map, other conversions are lossless.
NetRadiant-custom allows copying and pasting (automatic conversion) between all map formats; handling Quake 1, 2, 3 and related games.
Model-to-Map Converters[edit]
These are programs that can be used to convert geometry of another file type, especially files exported by modelling software, into map files.

Map Compiling Tools[edit]
Tools to use for map compiling, a process that turns a map file into a bsp file.
QBSP, Light and Vis[edit]
- Bengt Jardrup's enhanced versions of TxQBSP/TreeQBSP, RVis, Light
- Jury-Rigged BJP Tools, modified version of Bengt Jardrup's tools with BSP2 support, details brushes and several other improvements.
- LordHavoc's Hmap2
- Tyrann's TyrUtils - Windows and Mac OS X binaries, plus Linux/Unix supported via source.
- Ericwa's ericw-tools - Map compile tools for Quake and Hexen 2. Based off of Tyrann's quake 1 tools tyrutils, focused on adding lighting features. Source available as well as binaries for Linux, Mac and windows.
Skip Removal[edit]
Skip removal tools are standalone programs that can process a bsp file and remove all surfaces textured with a skip texture, so that those surfaces are not rendered in-game. This can be done by some QBSP tools or via a separate tool.
- Tyrann's TyrUtils qbsp includes skip surface removal (since version 0.6)
- Ericwa's ericw-tools qbsp includes skip surface removal.
- metlslime's newskip
Map Decompilers[edit]
These are programs that can reverse-compile a bsp file back into a map file, with varying results.
- bsp2map - This program generates a map file by creating brushes for every surface in the level. Large walls are split up into multiple brushes according to bsp polys.
- winbspc - This program generates a map file by more closely trying to match texture/brush volumes. It has several options for decompiling a bsp file and usually produces far more usuable results than bsp2map.
Other Tools[edit]
Quake Live On Mackinac Island
Miscellaneous tools.
- bsp2prt can generate a prt file from a bsp file without needing to rebuild it from scratch using QBSP.
Quake Live Mac
- bspinfo can print basic information about a Quake BSP file.
- bsputil is a small utility for basic manipulation of Quake BSP files. It can extract textures to create a wad from a bsp, extract entities to a text file with the .ent file extension, and run a basic set of tests to check that all internal data structures are self-consistent.
- Scrama's MapConverter [ File:MapConverter.zip ] can perform scaling and convert map formats from Half-Life to Quake, Quake 2 and Quake 3
- Quake CLI Tools [1] Quake CLI Tools are a collection of custom GNU style command line tools for working with Quake files.
