Sometimes the maps downloaded are contained within a .zip file. Make sure the files you have are .pk3

So that in the zip file, they can include the pk3 and their readme. :P

just make sure that you only put in the ".pk3" file into the base folder. (definetly not an OS Problem)

Because they use Windows and don't realize that pk3=zip.

But these people are mappers, I would like to think they know a bit about the system.
