Question about custom maps. (again)

[Diego Cueva]

Sorry for my poor english (yeah, you know that I´m not North American) <br><br>--Yeah, I know, you all are tired of reading posts like this, but please, help me. First of all, the way I use PQ in my iPAQ is different. I don´t have the 2 different PAKS in my PPC. What I did was to copy the "pop.???" file from the pak1 to the gfx directory in the pak0. Then, I deleted some maps and gzipped it again. It works fine and only takes 5mb in my device... Now, the problem is that I can´t use the custom maps... Do I really need to have both paks? Did I miss something? (probably yes...)<br><br>Oh,by the way, Dan, the new .06 beta is great! <br><br>Thanks,<br>Diego Cueva<br><br>Last modification: Diego Cueva - 04/18/01 at 01:27:38

You need to put custom maps in \Quake\ID1\maps folder. Just in case, put 'Registered 1' in your autoexec.cfg...<br><br>I wouldn't put the pop.lmp in Pak0 actually, I'd make a new folder under ID1 called 'gfx' and put it in there (I just have a Pak1.Pak anyway)<br>Last modification: Paul - 04/18/01 at 01:34:48

I´m probably missing something. I mean, I know that I need to have the maps folder. But, I really would like to have only the PAK0 on my iPAQ. If you could give some more help about custom maps I would appreciate. Oh, and I tried putting the "registered 1" command in the .cfg file too.<br><br>Thanks,<br>Diego CuevaLast modification: Diego Cueva - 04/18/01 at 01:45:06<br>Last modification: Diego Cueva - 04/18/01 at 01:46:51

I don't recall all the funky stuff that happens when trying different things with the PAK files. It's documented around here somewhere.<br><br>If Pauls technique doesn't work, try dumping EVERYTHING from PAK1.PAK except for /gfx/pop/lmp.<br><br>There are certain BSP files that are required, since they are models (not maps like most BSPs). These "b" models start with "b_", as in b_nail0.bsp. These are the typical ammo boxes, health and stuff like that.

I still don't use a PAK file at all. All my files are displayed out in the open for the world to see.<br><br>It does take a little more space this way, though.

[Paul]

Yeah I've dumped it all but pop.lmp in my Pak1 but he doesnt want an extra Pak file for some reason...

[Diego Cueva]

I should try dumping everything from the pak1 except for the pop and the bsp files? But I don´t have an PAK1 file! If the BSP files in the PAK1 are important, why can I still play the game and use weapons boxes, etc on it? I´m confused... I think I should edit the PAK1 that I have in my PC and let only the pop file on it... What do you think? <br><br>Diego Cueva

[Diego Cueva]

WOW, Paul replied to my question before I even asked about letting only the pop on the PAK1! Incredible <br><br>Diego Cueva

[Paul]

Incredible. In the same post you say "I don´t have an PAK1 file!" then you say "the PAK1 that I have in my PC"... You do have Quake, right?

[Diego Cueva]

I don´t have PAK1 in my PPC. I have it in my PC. As I said, I put the pop (from PAK1) in the gfx folder in the PAK0<br>Last modification: Diego Cueva - 04/18/01 at 02:07:32

[Diego Cueva]

bing? what?

[Diego Cueva]

Argh! I´m getting mad. I tried doing the pak1 thing (deleting everything, except the pop.? file) I still can´t get the custom maps to work. WHAT AM I MISSING??!! <screams>   <br><br>Diego CuevaLast modification: Diego Cueva - 04/18/01 at 02:16:15

[Diego Cueva]

what? Could you be more specific in your posts? ;D<br><br>Diego Cueva

[Paul]

ok, tell me exactly what you do when you want to load a map and what happens when you try it<br>Last modification: Paul - 04/18/01 at 02:17:40
