editing q3config

Post by prince1000 »

how would one go about finding ~/.quake3/etc? i cant seem to find any settings to allow hidden folders to be viewed. do i need to do this in root? i know very little about macs though i guess its similar to linux? also, will i have seperate mod dirs in home (~/.quake3/cpma) with cfgs that need to be edited as well.

thx.

if your asking what i think your asking, then theres 2 directories in q3
hd/applications/quake and
username/library/applicationsupport/quake3

the library/application support directory is where your maps an configs go
"Liberty, what crimes are committed in your name."

does the user have to have certain credentials to view that folder? is this also where the cfg files are, as there are no cfg files where ive installed q3. [hd/app../quake3]

only the .app file is 'installed' in the Application folder. You probably need administrator rights or be logged in as that user to see the username/library/application support/quake3 folder

not if it all works for you. But, it can get messy
