It is not so difficult. Follow me. Are you using Windows?
- Go
here.
- Click on "maps/", then on "item_test.bsp": download that file to your desktop.
- Go to the folder where you installed OpenArena (for example C:\program files\OpenArena), or the folder where your game settings and autodownloaded files are stored (%appdata%\OpenArena): for Windows XP it is C:\Documents and settings\username\application data\OpenArena. Simply if you put the map under your installation folder, it will be available for all the users of your machine, ad if you place it under your "%appdata%" folder, it will be available only for you.
- Under your OpenArena folder, go inside the "baseoa" folder and create a sub-folder called "maps" there.
- Move the previously downloaded "item_test.bsp" file from your desktop to that "OpenArena\baseoa\maps" folder.
- Start OpenArena
- Pull down its console and type /sv_pure 0 (if you don't do this, you will get an error when trying to load the map: sv_pure prevents from using maps that are are not correctly packaged inside pk3 files)
- Type /map item_test
- You will enter the map. Unless you have previously downloaded some third-part texture compatibility pack (I don't know if that would work anyway, it depends if the map used standard Q3A textures of some new added by "q3min"), you will see all the walls black and white.
Don't worry about this. We are interested about the items.
- Go to the last room, where there are "portable medkit" and "personal teleporter".
- After some seconds, there should appear the various power-ups (quad damage, flight, etc.)
- When you quit the game, it is a good idea to enable /sv_pure 1 again.
Bye!
