“wait” can be used as part of a script, IIRC it’s the amount of frames the script doesn’t change any setting until the wait is over and it executes the next line in the script.

FIXES IN SETTINGS
FIXING THE RESOLUTION
(Note that this will make your character model look weird in menus but the actual game will look totally normal).
Step 1
Go your Quake 3 installation folder (usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Quake 3 Arena) and open the “baseq3” folder. Then open the file named “q3config.cfg” with Notepad and press CTRL+F. In the search box search for “customheight” and press enter and you will find 2 lines:
seta r_customheight “1440”
seta r_customwidth “2560”
Change the values in the quotes after these lines to match your screen’s resolution. Mine is 2560×1440 so that is what I changed them to (as seen above).
Step 2
Just below these lines you will find another that says:
seta r_mode “3”
Make sure to change this value to “-1” so that the game will use the resolution you put in above.
Step 3
Make sure to press File→Save in order to save these changes
FIXING THE FOV (field of view)
In order to make the FOV look normal at your desired resolution you may need to change it.
Step 1
In the “q3config.cfg” file, CTRL+F and search for “cg_fov” to find the line:
seta cg_fov “110”
Change the value to change the FOV. I find 110 looks best to me personally.
Step 2
Make sure to press File→Save in order to save these changes.
Note: If in-game, you can also open the console and do /cg_fov 110 or whatever number you want to play around with the FOV in-game.
SETTING YOUR FPS (frames per second)
Step 1
In the “q3config.cfg” file, CTRL+F and search for “maxfps” to find the line:
seta com_maxfps “0”
Change the value to change your maximum FPS. Setting it to 0 will unlock the fps, making it so it will be as high as your PC can output.
Step 2
Make sure to press File→Save in order to save these changes.
BONUS FIX
This step is optional but since you are already changing stuff, I highly recommend doing it.
Step 1
In the “q3config.cfg” file, CTRL+F and search for “lightning” to find the line:
seta cg_trueLightning “1”
Make sure to set the value to 1. This makes it so the beam from the Lightning Gun follows the crosshair a lot more closely (like it does in Quake III: Team Arena), making it much easier to aim than it is leaving this value at it’s default setting.
Step 2
Make sure to press File→Save in order to save these changes.
