Title: Maps where do I put them?
Post by: lennox on November 06, 2007, 01:30:43 PM
Some of the maps I dont have that are on the servers.  When I download them, where do I put them at so they'll work in open arena?

are you talking about downloading a map from a webpage or the automatic downloading that happens when you join a game server?

Downloading them from the openarena.ws webpage.

Didn't know that we had maps there :)
I think it might be that you have navigated your way in to the SVN, which is not where you would find the maps as such.

By simply installing Open Arena in desired location you will have access to all the maps included in the package and ready for play, it automatically installs the maps in the correct location.

If you refer to third party maps (which are not officiall supported by Open Arena) you will need to locate these maps yourself and place them in your /baseoa directory. For instance take a look at DO NOT LINK[/b]) h t t p s : / / openarena . wikia . com/wiki/Third_Party_Maps]Kinjada's List of working maps (http://([b) or the 100 map-pack I released as a .torrent here (http://www.gameupdates.org/details.php?id=1364).

Alternatively you can also 'enable' downloads in the game and simply connect to a server that runs any custom maps / mods, it will then download it automagically, but do this on your own risk. Good luck with it..
