Title: Using other maps in single player Post by: Telothrix on December 07, 2006, 04:48:55 PM Is it possible to use maps other than those provided with the OA download for single player? I would love to do so but do not know how to get it started.

I would like to be able to separate the extra pk3 files from the original.

I would like to be able to separate the extra pk3 files from the original. Make a separate folder outside of the oabase folder.Name the folder whatever you want,lets say "maps" for example.Store all of your maps,or mod pk3 in that folder.Then copy your original oa shortcut on your desktop,right click on the shortcut,click properties.then add this in the "target" box at the end of the line, +set fs_game <foldername>,then click on apply.The line should look like this: "C:\Program Files\OpenArena\ioquake3.x86.exe" +set fs_game maps Make sure there is a space between the exe",and the + sign or it won't work.If you like,just copy and paste the line above and change the folder name to whatever you want.Now everytime you click on that shortcut.It will run through that folder and all of your maps and mods should work.

Title: Re: Using other maps in single player Post by: Rim on December 13, 2006, 01:11:32 PM That setup i posted is for running singleplayer,or your own mp server.If you go on someone else's server.you have to have the pk3 files in which ever location the server has it placed in.With the fs_game setup,Anyone DLing from that server should have the same directory automatically created in their oa folder.

I discovered that I could just place them in ~/.openarena/openoa like any other Linux FPS (or else download from server would be impossible). I don't know why I didn't try it right away. |
