User story

As an old school q3 player, I want it to work out of the box so that I can play.

Game

Quake 3

Linux distro

Ubuntu 24.04

Command

command: install

Further information

A typo snuck into the q3 config loading when q4 was added.
https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/blame/master/lgsm/modules/install_config.sh#L648
I removed the s at the end of fn_fetch_default_configs on line 648 locally and reinstalled using ./q3server install and everything worked as expected.
