What am I doing wrong
What am I doing wrong
Really getting pissed right now. I'm having the same problems I had on Q3. I can't get any mods or custom maps to work on my computer. On Q3 I would always save the map to my Q3base file and would try to join a server on that map and it still wouldnt work right. And now on Q4, when I try to download maps and mods and shit it does the same thing. I'll save the map or mod onto a file and then when I try to play on a server using the map or mod it says I don't have it. Really need help since I have less and less servers to choose from everyday since they're using custom shit.
Were you born a fat slimy scumbag puke piece of shit or did you have to work on it!?

Stupid question, but you are extracting, or dragging/dropping the "custommap.pk4" into your base right?Krazy_K wrote: I'll save the map or mod onto a file
Ok hopefully i'll do that right. One more question....when I join a server that uses a mod I don't have, how the fuck am I supposed to know what mod to download? It doesn't tell me, just says am missing files required to play the server.

It can be confusing if you're not familiar with it. To make it simple you need to understand this:
1. a custom map is always a .pk4 file.
2. those .pk4 files must be in the q4base directory.
3. when you have downloaded a custom map in a zip file, a .pk4 file must should be inside it, which you need to extract and move to q4base.
You can extract zip files by right clicking on them and selecting "extract all", or just double click on them and drag&drop the .pk4 to q4base.
You can download mods too and they are usually zip files with some directories inside them. When you open the zip file you'll see the main folder which you can just drop in the main Quake4 directory (not q4base but the directory above that).
