Topic Starter	Topic: 1.32 upgrade

I have had the same problem with the Altivec one. I tried to use Pacifist to open the .pkg but it comes up with an error saying "The BOM file for the package “Quake3-132-Jaguar.pkg” does not seem to exist. Make sure that you have not renamed the package." I'm pretty new to the Mac world so I'm sorry if this is all trivial to you guys. I was just trying to sort it so I can play Q3 over the University LAN (and I'm guessing we need to run the same update version to connect to windows players). Oh yeah, tech specs might help: Imac Mini 1.42ghz, 512mb ram, ATI radeon 9200 32mb (i think). OSX Tiger 10.4.3, current Quake version is 1.31 and runs in OSX. I installed off the Quake III Gold disc if this makes any difference. Muchos Gracias.

The official one from id software does not have the name "Jaguar" in it at all. Download the installer from here: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/5991 Give that a shot and see if it works.

I downloaded the non g4 upgrade.. quake3-132.pkg.sit. file size was about 27 mb but when I decompress it with stuffit expander, the result file quake3-132.pkg is only 60 kb in size. that still works when I double click and install it but it only makes a quake3 folder to applications folder and nothing more... so we still got the problem.. any solutions ?

If its a case of the installer not working then this will overcome that.
