Quake 3 Team Arena maps

Post by Canning_Simon »

I have downloaded both TA_mappak1b.zip and TA_mappak2.zip

I extract them into my quake directory, but the new maps do not show in the GUI when i try to play a singleplayer game in Team Arena... How can I fix this?

The maps are there, because I can load them via /map bspname, they just dont show up in the menus. Pls help.

thanks

Is there a skirmish mode for Quake 3 Team Arena?

If so, how do I load it up?

How many maps do you have in your folder?

Also, you might wanna try ui arena. Although i am not 100% sure that works with TA.

I have copied all the pk3 files into the missionpack folder. I have unzipped both TA_mappak1b.zip and TA_mappak2.zip into there.

There are the 4 pak0.pk3 - pak3.pk3 standard paks and the extracted ones from the TA_mappak1b.zip and TA_mappak2.zip, so there are 8 new pak files.

Only the In-game maps will show up in Single Player. If you want to play custom maps, you have to start a server. That's the way it is, and you can't change it. There is no such mod that will change it either. There is a start server option right in the same column as single player...mess around with it, it's not that difficult.

Have you tried gathering their levelshots into a folder? Maybe even putting them in a .pk3 with just the levelshots? Could that possibly make them show up in the menus? Excuse me if this reply is stupid i only use regular quake, eternal and the bfp mods.
