Download several custom maps from this site , but all of them fail to be located by Quake, get message - ''Can't find map" after typing in the command console map mapname.
Downloaded these four maps - q2buildg, q2caves, q2grave, and q2strogb. The map bsp's were all placed within the \maps subdirectory of Quake2.
Other maps within the \maps subdirectory seem to load and run fine. For some reason(s) these four custom maps fail to be located and run by Quake2!?
Maybe these four custom maps only work with a certain version of Quake2? I have versions 3.14 and 3.20 of Quake2, but these maps fail to be found by both versions.
Maybe these four custom maps are corrupted?
Or, is there something else wrong?
Any ideas please?
EDIT: Mystery solved!
There was another copy of the \maps subfolder from Quake2\baseq2\maps placed here Quake2\maps !? Not sure how or why there was another copy of maps done?
Anyway, the four custom maps were placed within the Quake2\maps subfolder without realizing at first that this is the wrong folder. So Quake2 couldn't find these maps because Quake2 looks for custom maps here - Quake2\baseq2\maps.
Now deleted the \maps subfolder from Quake2\maps and the four custom maps (and other custom maps) now run fine under Quake2\baseq2\maps subfolder!
