Quake3World

Dear community,

About seven years ago I went to the trouble of making a Quake3 map of my childhood home (we were moving out then). This map used to work, and it was awesome! But now I can no longer get the file to open, and I have no idea why, despite many efforts to figure it out. So I'm wondering if anyone can help me out by downloading the .pk3, checking if it works for them, and if not maybe to suggest why? The map is called Furlong.pk3 (attached), and requires the pak0.pk3 data from Quake3.

The error I get when I type "map furlong" at the console is "Can't find map maps/furlong.bsp" even though I think there is a furlong.bsp in the right place!

I can't say how grateful I'd be for some help with this cherished old project. Many many thanks!

p.s. I'm able to play Quake3 levels, and I've been able to load other custom levels I found online, so that's not the problem. In fact since I have the original files I created I've tried installing NetRadiant to try to rebuild it, but that installation is causing its own headaches. (Running OS X 10.6)

a link to said map would be helpful

And just to be sure: map files ending in .bsp should go into baseq3/maps, not baseq3.

Ah, I didn't notice that my attachment had been rejected for being too large. I should've verified. Here's a link.

Thanks so much for looking!

I found the problem in your .pk3. You had all of the folders (maps, textures, scripts and models) inside of another folder (furlong) in the pk3. Since the folders are in the other folder, the files aren't in baseq3/maps (for example), they are in baseq3/furlong/maps. I fixed the .pk3 and it is down-loadable from here:

Thanks so much for doing that. Did the corrected pk3 work for you? It's still giving me the same error.

ok works for me type /devmap furlong_15 and ya good to go

Oh my god I can see again! It works! It seems to be missing a few textures but by and large it's intact.
I'm so grateful for your help. You're all awesome.

Cheers!
