How embaressing! you are right!!

I was placing the map in /quake3 folder
then I realised I had program files/quake3 folder

Im so sorry for wasting your time, thankyou all of you for your patience, I can see the map now.

thanks, but nothing, cannot find map I can see it in the folder!

where do I type that? in game? multiplayer?

hub3aeroq3.pk3 is in the correct folder and is 1.19mb

running direct from the folder makes the screen go white and it stays like that

I installed the point release also, and the quake3 app from the second point release.

map-aedesert.pk3 is 5.15mb

Its Windows Vista, I should of mentioned that, will this matter? the files are unzipped and they are .pk3 files.

thanks for answering

It said "cannot find map aedesert.bsp"

the aedesert.pk3 file is definately where it should be?

any ideas?

OK Ill try this tonight, I didnt realise the chat screen was the console screen too.

and why am I now a gibblet!

I notice this place runs on PHPBB3 RC7 I presume,

I notice you have out a portal on the front page, Ive been looking for one for my site, I had to make a crude one! I much prefer yours, is it a mod posted at phpbb? or is it the work of someone here?
