They'd go in this directory
Code: [Select]
~/Library/Application\ Support/Tremulous/base/

Code: [Select]
Linux: ~/.tremulous/base/
Mac: ~/Library/Application\ Support/Tremulous/base/
Windows: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Tremulous\base\NeonPulse

If you download them with Safari they might get renamed to map.zip. Worse still, if you just rename them the usual way they'll turn into map.pk3.zip and hide the extension .zip. Click on them, use command-I to get info, then edit the name there. Or else, just use terminal:
Code: [Select]
mv map.zip ~/Library/Application\ Support/Tremulous/base/map.pk3

By the way, you should move the default maps there too, so they are accessible wherever tremulous is.

Dude! Lol! I just unzip the map and then grab the folders and put them in the Tremulous base folder,
using Safari,
so... :eek: You say there's no need to unzip?!?!

Nope, PK3 package is just a renamed ZIP archive.

1.2.0 release's been delayed for 5:48:00 already because of stupid questions.

You don't want a maps folder with a bsp in it etc. You want a .pk3 (which is, indeed, a renamed zip).
If you are getting a maps folder, you need to rename the zip you got it from to a pk3 (properly, using the methods in my last post) and put that in the appropriate place.
Safari does rename pk3s to zips for you, so if you are downloading maps on their own you will need to rename them.
