           Summary: S3TC support needs updating...
           Product: Quake 3

          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3

I'm not sure if there actually _are_ any s3tc textures in Quake 3, but there
_is_ a codepath for it in the engine. It's looking for an old GL extension
(GL_S3_s3tc) that newer machines, including all Macs, don't support.

Most GL implementations support GL_EXT_texture_compression_s3tc, though, which
provides the same functionality in a more generalized form. We should probably
update ioq3 to check for this extension and use it if available.
