Note: with ioquake3 on macOS High Sierra, some of these configurations need to be updated using the in-game console:

  1. Press Shift + ESC (this brings down the console)
  2. Type the command and desired value: \x_command value
  3. Confirm using Return – some graphics related commands require to restart the video rendering: \vid_restart

How about separating the original Q3A CVAR's from the ioquake3 CVAR's? Like:

//quake3arena
...
seta r_picmip "0"
...

//ioquake3
...
seta r_toneMap "1"
seta r_parallaxMapping "2"
...
