There's a setting in the autoexec.cfg file that's installed with Q3lite that you may need. Try adding this line to your autoexec.cfg:
seta net_mcast6addr "ff04::696f:7175:616b:6533" // Set multicast address to use for scanning for ipv6 servers on the local network.

I'm trying to connect to it from my PC using IOQuake3 via the IPv4 address.

[cdev-tux]

Check the server.cfg file to see if this setting exists:
seta net_enabled "3"

Also try adding the net_mcast6addr line from above to your server.cfg file.

I think I might have found the issue, I was editing under /usr/local/games/quake3/baseq3 insted of ~/.q3a/baseq3

will report back...

[ellisgl]

So removed it, all .q3a folders, re-installed (this time leaving the client in too), and only ran as sudo from pi user and all is looking good now. Basically I didn't RTFM very well.

Glad to hear it's working. Have fun with it.
