Problems with arcticb.bsp map

[lightbeacon]

Howdy folks,

I use Yamagi Quake 2 version 7.41, and I have downloaded the Arctic Base map (arcticb.bsp) from tastyspleen. Back in my good ol' Quake 2 days this was my favourite map. But for the love of me, I can't get it to work! Everytime I try to start it I keep getting an error, and it's this one:


Downloading textures/CRTEXS/LADDER.wal
Server does not have this file.


This error keeps looping over and over again. Someone, please help me fix this problem so I can play on it once again.

I highly appriciate your help. Stay safe guys and girls.

this should be the missing file:

ladder.zip (656 B)

Bro, thanks a bunch, and I really appriciate it. But the silly program now lacks another texture. THRUSTFR.wal, or somesuch. :/ I don't know how big of a list this is of missing textures, concidering the game hasn't told. Do you maybe have that map with all of its textures?


This is the map I downloaded btw:
tastyspleen.net/~quake2/baseq2/maps/arcticb.bsp

yeah, funny .... I'm missing this texture too:

CRTEXS/THRUSTFR.wal

here is the original archive:

www.gamers.org/pub/games/idgames2/quake2/levels/deathmatch/a-c/arcticb.zip

the textures are in a pak file .... clumsy. need to be extracted.

CRTEXS/THRUSTFR.wal is missing.

but you can't see a missing texture when in the map. so I guess ist's not a problem.

maybe this texture is in a place that is not visible.

Dude, thanks a bunch. Seriously. 
I have downloaded that map from that link, and also, the missing .wal file, I just copied LADDER.wal and renamed the copied file to THRUSTFR.wal. And it worked. I can finally play this after so many years. Huge thanks for this friend! Hope you are well and stay safe!
