For the side buttons on your mouse, you just need to add the lines below to your ioq3config.cfg file in your Unfreeze folder
bind MOUSE4 "weapprev" ==> Weapon previous
bind MOUSE5 "weapnext" ==> Weapon next
or
bind MOUSE4 "weapon 5" ==> Rocket Gun
bind MOUSE5 "weapon 7" ==> Rail Gun
You can of course replace weapprev, weapnext, weapon 5, weapon 7 with the weapons or actions of your choice...
If your mouse has more than 5 buttons you can continue with :
Bind MOUSE6 "your choice"
Bind MOUSE7 "your choice"
etc...
My advice for the installation of one of the packages proposed by Adminless on forum.fpsclassico.com is to install it at the root of C:\ (example C:\ioq3v6-unfreeze-client-v23.5 or C:\fpsclasico-client-community-edition) which should avoid many conflicts with the previous installation of Quake III from the original CD which in theory is in C:\ProgramFiles\Quake III\Baseq3...
Don't forget to create a shortcut to launch the fpsclassico Unfreeze package exe directly...
Enjoy the game
