[stew@]

You installed it incorrectly. Read the readme.txt file. The files should not be in \My Documents\quake\ on your device, they need to be in the root dir \quake\ with a sub folder ID1\ for the .pak/.gz file.

[stew@]

i think thats what i did but will try again!

[stew@]

yup just redone it!!<br><br>still get the error...<br><br>anyway you cant create a dir in a dir(quake/ID1/) in my documents folder.

[Matt Keys]

the quake dir should not be in you my documents folder, that is your problem. the quake dir should be in the very root(below the my docs folder) of your device.

Grrr......<br><br>Its not in my documents folder!!!!!

sounds like you're getting the .gz/.pak thing mixed up...<br><br>if its called pak0 then its a .pak file,<br>if its called pak0.pak then its a .gz file,<br>if its called pak0.pak.gz then its still a zip file so you'll need to unzip it matey...<br><br>if you can make sense of that then you sir, are a genius.

Ok this is the file that i downloaded:<br> <br>PocketQuake0062_SH3_8bit_colour.zip<br><br>the files that were in the zip are :<br>{<br>PocketQuake.exe (which i copyed into the games folder located in the windows start dir)<br><br>gx.dll  (which i copyed into the windows dir)<br><br>autoexec.cfg (which i copyed ID1 folder in the quake dir in the pocket pcs main dir)<br><br>ReadMe.txt (which i just read)<br>}<br><br>

[stew@]

Any way it loads and then i get the error when the quakey thing is displayed.

[Paul]

okay, okay, this is my mistake (kinda) - the link to the PAK0.PAK file that you need is on the mods page, not the downloads page - i've put it on the DOWNLOAD page now, okay?

[stew@]

Okay that seems to have sorted it thanks!

ok...<br>I did all of that stuff and i get the same error, but that isn't what I am having problems with...<br>I downloaded the .pak.gz.zip file and unziped it, but now the .gz program won't work...<br>(yes I have winMe)<br>after I unzip it should I just put it on my Ipaq? or do I have to unzip it again with the .gz program?<br>thanx!<br>(U N I Q U E

You only have to unzip it one time:<br>pak0.pak.zip -> pak0.pak.gz<br><br>You can optionally ungzip it a second time, which will double the size of the pak0.pak file, but will make loading much, much faster. You will of course need a storage card (or a 64 MB Pocket PC) to place the 20 MB pak0.pak file on.<br><br>Dan East
