Where Do I Put......
« on: May 09, 2007, 09:11:07 pm »
Ok i have downloaded Atcs3 and when i extract it its a bunch of folders.
Id love to get this into my map rotation to play it but i cant figure out how to install or unzip it.

Sorry for the noobish question but i cant figure it out.

Don't unzip it.
Just put the pk3 in the base folder.

Rename it.  Change the .zip to .pk3
A pk3 file is just a renamed zip file.  In fact, you can unzip all of the pk3 files :)

Download it from http://mercenariesguild.net/base/map-atcs3.pk3
some browsers can tell that is is a zip file and will automatically rename it to map-atcs3.zip of something along that line.  Change it's name back to map-atcs3.pk3 and then put it in your base directory.  Sounds like you may be on a MAC, is this the case?

The pk3 should contain folders such as maps, levelshots, scripts and textures.if it does then rename to .pk3 and wack it in the base folder.
