You can also try : Open the map you downloaded and placed in your quake3/baseq3/ folder. The extension of the map file is .pk3 You can open this file with any zip utilities (winrar, filzzip, winzip, etc.) since it's just a zip file renamed to some_map.pk3 This pk3 file contains everything needed for a Quake 3 map, it's composed of many files, not just one. Inside the zip file there should be a folder called /map/ and inside the folder you are looking for the real map name. The map is a file ending with the .bsp extension like map_name.bsp - Write down this file name and close the pk3 file now. Start Quake 3, when the game is loaded on the main menu, hit the `/~ key (tilde - the one on the left side of the number 1 on your keyboard) to bring out the Quake 3 console. In the console type the following command to load the downloaded map : /map map_name (the name of the bsp file you wrote down earlier do not add the .bsp at the end). _________________ DGhost http://www.dghost.com
