i can see, :icon26: but it would be awsome if there was a flaming Tiger tank with a BFG in it sitting in the middle of the battle field :icon25: Now, they are being downloaded. but they are becoming media player info. i got them from the site you sugested :icon28:
By becoming media player info, you mean that the file is opened by media player?
You ought to extract the package (usualy .zip file), with either the WinZip or WinRar application, the file you find then (the .pk3 file) is supposed to be placed inside your Quake directory, in the folder called 'baseq3' (you'll notice other similar files in there, if you correctly navigated to it)
To install custom maps, see here. If you have any other questions about how to play Quake 3 or technical assistance with the game, we have a dedicated forum for that in "Quake 3 Discussions".
You will find that mappers in general do not take requests. Most people have too many ideas already. If you have a really great idea for a map, build it yourself. There are a lot of resources that have been written already if you need help with the editor (see the sticky threads at the top of this forum), otherwise people here are pretty helpful if you have a legitimate question to be answered.
