Help getting Ancient Remains to work [Solved]
« on: January 16, 2007, 07:18:00 am »
Well, I somehow got it to work once,  :-? But now, when I try to play it I get the message that I cannot load Ancient Remains.pk3 or something.
  The problem is there was no pk3 in the download just a .bsp or something.  I am unzipping the file to my trem/base folder and taking all the subfolders i.e. maps and scripts and putting them in the /base folder.  Do they go somewhere else? Thanks in advance!

Just download the .pk3 and throw it in your base folder. Don't unzip it

Well, when I do that, it dosent even show up on the maps screen.  The floder is a .pk3.zip so I assume I do need to unzip it as when i got it to work, it was unzipped.

Where did you get it from? It should just be a .pk3, which essentially is just a renamed .zip file anyway.

Look in it, if you see alot of files, just put it into tremulous map dir and rename to .pk3 ( Remove .zip tag ), if you see just couple and one of them is .pk3, unzip it to tremulous map dir

I got this issue a lot when my web browser (Safari for Mac) saw that these were zip files and insisted on putting .zip on the end (making it .pk3.zip) when in fact I wanted .pk3. It was quite a pain to remove because a simple rename just made it assume I wanted to hide the extension instead of actually changing it. If you are on a mac, you'll need to use the Get Info window to rename the file, and it should ask you if you are sure you want to change the extension. You do. On anything else, use whatever methods you can to ensure the full filename ends in .pk3 and then drop it as-is into the base folder.

Failing that, use Firefox to download it :)
