starting mapper, being an idiot, can't seem to do things rig

[cityy]

Ooops, that went wrong... you somehow isntalled the point release inside your quake 3 install and did not update it. Did the point release executive ask you for the path to your quake 3 install? If so you entered the wrong one.

Yes, I recommend you uninstall everything and proceed in this order:
1) Install q3
2) Install 1.32 and 1.32c, pay attention to entering the correct path to your q3 dir
3) Install gtkradiant 1.4 from my link above
4) Move the mapmedia.pk3 to your baseq3 folder
5) start and set up gtkradiant (do again pay attention to entering the correct path to your q3 dir)

I think simply removing the extra Quake3 folder inside his "Quake III Arena" folder and reapplying the 1.32 patch should be enough.

okay ill see how thing go tomorrow cause now i have to eat and work.
should i let him create a folder outside my program files or inside my program files ( see my pics i now have 2 places with q3)
back in approx. 14 - 16 hours

[cityy]

The default install dir is "Program Files/Quake III Arena" - that's where your quake3.exe, baseq3 folder etc should be in.
You may as well join us on QuakeNet irc in #radiant to ask further questions if that's your thing.

Hey....most comprehensive q3 mapping tutorials on my site: http://www.leveldk.co.uk

[guitar_monkey]

oke i searched my PC for quake and radiant and deleted every single file it found, now onto the list cityy told me to do...

[Tanica46]

sorry

incorrect processing

one folder too much for the installation of gtk.

is normal

best install for q3 : C:/quake3

There are problems with OS Vistas with admin rights in the programs folder. is more crazy as good.

[cityy]

No offense, Tanica46, but I can't understand a word of what you are saying.

[Tanica46]

sorry

better PM

[cityy]

Well, try using full sentences; your translation in particular is not all that wrong - it is just hard to connect the snippets of sentences and to figure out the full context.
And yes, he set the wrong path when installing the point release; that's why another q3 folder was created in his actual game folder.

[guitar_monkey]

whut?

[cityy]

Nevermind, did you get your problems fixed?

[guitar_monkey]

seriously guys, what are the last 5 comments about? it no makes sense to me :P

[guitar_monkey]

no not yet, i have to study for exams 2, so when ever i try to start up the pc and all shit my moms come screaming to me i should study... installing q3 as we speak

[guitar_monkey]

where do i have to install q3?
im working with windows 7
should ii put it in C (it makes a new folder there)
in C;/programfiles
or c:/programfiles(x86)

[cityy]

Mine is here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Quake III Arena
Win7 64bit

[guitar_monkey]

how can i see if i have a 32 or a 64 bit?

[guitar_monkey]

never mind, it's a 64 bit

[guitar_monkey]

can't create output files c:\program files(x86)\setup.exe

it will actually only let me install it in a new folder it creates in C:/ itself
(C:/Quake III)

[cityy]

Uhm, what? Where are you getting that error? There should be no setup.exe created in your program files folder normally..

[guitar_monkey]

can't create output files c:\program files(x86)\setup.exe

it will actually only let me install it in a new folder it creates in C:/ itself
(C:/Quake III)


nice site BTW, can't download all the QL files,...

a bit annoying to keep coming back to this site,
ain;t going so fast...

[cityy]

Weird.. did you uninstall your old Q3 install propperly? If nothing helps try installing it in some other folder..

Thanks, I haven't put up download links because you can only play the maps vs bots in QL anyway.

[guitar_monkey]

but still, can be fun.
i have uninstalled it yes.
ill just let him make that new folder now...

error....

[Tanica46]

Sorry guitar_monkey

is the panic before the admin.
in some forums is offtropic not considered.

what do you do with your q3?
with "OS vistas" only the copy of the cd onto the hard disk.
is easy
create a folder quake3
c:/quake3
copy baseq3 folder from cd to c:/quake3/baseq3

and not more.

install the pp1.32
watch out for the correct path c:/quake3

install gtk
When asked about your Q3 you give to the path c:/quake3

and that was all
