baseq3: Number of maps

Post by **Viking68** » Tue Aug 22, 2006 11:37 pm

I have downloaded maps from various Quake 3 sites and installed ( 1-10) of them at a time in baseq to play. When I run Quake 3 a lot of the maps do not show up although they are in baseq3.

Is there a limit to the number of pk3 files that can be in baseq3 ?

Any response appreciated.

No limit to how many maps there can be in baseq3, but there is a limit to the amount of maps that Q3 will SHOW... I think it's 128.

To load a map that doesn't show up in the list, type /map mapname
in the console

[edit] there is a map limit in baseq3 where you will encounter some problems, but that amount is huge. If such problems arise, repack all the maps in a single pk3 [/edit]

no, you put the maps where you normally put them - in your quake iii directory, specifically the baseq3 folder. map man will automatically detect the maps.
