Adding maps

[someguy99]

Hey there.How do you guys add maps to the game?

[Canadian*Sniper]

Say your quake directory is located at ..\Quake. Inside that directory there should be a id1 folder, ..\Quake\id1. Now check if there's a folder in id1 called maps, ..\Quake\id1\maps. If you don't have one, just make one. Copy and paste all your custom maps into that maps folder.

Yeah,thanks.But how do i actually choose the map?i have the shareware PAK file.Is there a quake command line to do that or do i need to get the full version?

[R00k]

just type map mapname in the console.
like

]map dm3

[someguy99]

What does it mean when i get 'Couldnt spawn server' error?
PS.Where would you suggest to download single player maps?

[someguy99]

Ok,how can i play mods like Tack?Sertainly not the 'map' command.

First extract the zip so you get quake\tack\ (like quake\id1\ ). Then you have to create a shortcut and put "-game tack" (or how the folder is named) to the commandline:

To get singleplayer maps, my site is the best (yay, shameless): Quaddicted.com - Quake Singleplayer Archive and News
