Gotta make this work

[Dan East]

Okay, you have on your device:<br>\quake\id1\pak0.pak.gz<br><br>You know it is not really:<br>\quake\id1\pak0.pak.gz.zip<br><br>You also know it is in the root directory of your Pocket PC, and not in My Documents. If you go into Mobile Device on your PC you are actually in the My Documents folder of your Pocket PC. You have to go into Mobile Device\My Pocket PC to get to the root directory.<br><br>Dan East

[Village_Ideot]

That is correct, I know all of that.

[Dan East]

Then the file is corrupted. Have you copied the file to your device more than once? It appears corruption sometimes occurs when copying large files over ActiveSync. Is the file complete? Does the file size on your Pocket PC match that of the file on your PC?<br><br>Dan East

KEWL, i don't need it but i believe it would improve overall satisfaction. Downloading as of now needs to be dumbed down for those who thought "wow a color PALM PILOT" " I BET IT HAS REALLY GOOD GAMES" and bought it.<br><br>O YA I JUST HIT MY 200 POST w00t add that to the list on the search !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i said w00t twice that makes 3 times.

My pak file is in /mobile device/my pocket pc/program files/games/quake/ID1/pak0.pak.gz<br><br>??? I am lost (and a newbie)

[Dan East]

Okay, that's your problem. Don't put it in program files, it must be in the ROOT directory:<br>\Mobile Device\My Pocket PC\Quake\ID1\pak0.pak.gz<br><br>Dan East

[Village_Ideot]

thanks

[Village_Ideot]

hmm, well I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it didn't work.  I did what you said too...

[Dan East]

Okay, one of the following things must be wrong:<br><br>The pak0.pak.gz file is in the wrong place.<br><br>The file has not be decompressed once, so it is still zipped.<br><br>The pak0 file's extension has been manually changed and does not match its actual type.<br><br>The file has been corrupted or truncated.<br><br><br>All I can suggest is to redownload the file from this website and try again.<br><br>Dan East

[Moose or Chuck]

Just so you know, you don't have to create the Mobile Device and My Pocket PC directories. You could just say the root directory, Dan. It should be \quake\ID1. But Dan has it under control. Just thought that might have been a misunderstanding.

[Dan East]

Yeah, I see what you mean Moose. He replied with that syntax before, and I didn't think he actually created those directories.<br><br>Okay, let's try something else. On your desktop PC open up the Windows Explorer. You can look for it in your start menu, or hold down the Window key (to the left of your space bar) and press E simultaneously.<br><br>You should see a little icon in the tree on the left for Mobile Device. Here's a picture to show you how the directories should be organized:<br>http://www.pocketmatrix.com/pocketquake/pqexplorer.gif<br><br>The pak0.pak.gz should be placed in the ID1 directory.<br><br>Dan East

[alex]

Your problem is that you forgot to create<br>the ID1 subdirectory and move the pak file<br>into there.

[Village_Ideot]

wow, you guys are spelling it all out for me and it still doesnt wor.  My pak file is about 8.13mb, (around there) Is that correct?<br>

[Paul]

Ok... In windows, change your settings so you can see file extensions. Get the Pak, its called Pak0.Pak.gz.zip because its in a zip file, so unzip it - the file should now be Pak0.Pak.gz, put this in the folder Dan told you to: ... thats ID1!!! That should work. If it doesnt your pak file must be corrupted...

[Diego Cueva]

Ok, try a different thing: Tell us exactly what you did to install it. Step by step. By the way, you copied the autoexec.cfg to the id1 folder, right?<br><br>Diego Cueva
