Quake3World

I've recently downloaded some maps for Quake 3 Arena and I've added them to the baseq3 folder but they don't show up in the game. Any help would be nice.

If the newly-added map doesn't show up in the menu then it is missing some standard information. The map can still be called directly from the console via the following syntax: /map mapname (where mapname is the name of the file in the pk3 with the .bsp extension)

Just to add a bit to misantropia's reply:

Stupid question but did you unzip it or just put it in the baseq3 folder? What do you mean by "don't show up"? Are you referring to the map images for your local host selection when you are playing bots in single palyer mode? Sometimes the custom maps aren't displayed here but if you follow the command that misantropia gave (/map mapname) they will load.

To verify that they are there, look in the baseq3 folder and tell us the exact name that you see for the downloaded map.

Thanks misantropia and unisaw
