Title: Couldn't Load Map error
Post by: High_Yield on February 11, 2008, 04:29:14 PM
Hi all-

I usually play on the BRUTAL main server but they put in a new Threewave map pack the other day I cannot join a game when any of the "Q3WCP?" maps are running.  Note, all other old maps are playing fine, Hydronex , etc...

I put the Q3WPAK1 file in the baseoa folder, with the rest of the map paks.  Do I need to put it somewhere else ?

The exact error is : "Couldn't Load MAPS/Q3WCP1.BSP"

And yes, I have downladed the pak file(what I believe to be the pak file) and I open the zip and see all the maps, textures, etc...

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks - B

Easiest way is to enable auto-downloads, do this in the 'game options menu' or type (cl_allowdownload 1) in the console.

Shees-

I must have tried that 100 times with old Quake 2, 3, etcc and it never seemed to work with mods.
Always had to load them myself.

Regardless - this DID work - thanks much.

Correct, most Q2/Q3 servers does not allow for maps to be downloaded through servers since it's consuming lots of bandwidth, but there are a few servers around here that fortunatly allows it.
