Hi Irinikus,

thanks for responding.

I have tried what you suggested, did PC install of Q3 and then copied out the pak0.pk3 file from from that install onto IRIX machine.

here is my quake3 install:

>> cd /usr/nekoware/games/quake3
>> ls -la
>> drwxr-xr-x    4 root    sys          42 Nov 10 03:39 .
>> drwxr-xr-x    3 root    sys          19 Nov  9 21:06 ..
>> drwxr-xr-x    2 root    sys          91 Nov 10 03:41 bak
>> drwxr-xr-x    2 root    sys          75 Nov 10 03:41 baseq3
>> lrwxr-xr-x    1 root    sys          24 Nov 10 00:13 quake3 -> /usr/nekoware/bin/quake3

>> cd baseq3
>> ls -la
>> -rwxrwxr-x    1 root    sys          501856 Nov  9 21:09 cgamemips.so
>> -rw-r--r--    1 root    sys      479493658 Nov 10 03:36 pak0.pk3
>> -r-xr-xr-x    1 root    sys              38 Nov  9 22:01 q3config.cfg
>> -rwxrwxr-x    1 root    sys          486356 Nov  9 21:09 uimips.so

>> sum pak0.pk3
>> 40325 936512 pak0.pk3

I have done two PC installs (different CDs) and straight CD copy and the "pak0.pk3" file is the same for all of these... (confirmed via "diff" on the binary file)
I have moved the "pak1.pk3" file out of the baseq3 directory as it was resulting in the checksum error
I put symlink to quake3 binary rather than copy it but in any case the startup shows that it is looking in ~/.qa3/baseq3 & /usr/nekoware/games/quake3/baseq3 for the game files

On moving out the pak1.pk3 file I now get an error: "Point Release files are missing. Please re-install the 1.32 point release."

Could you you please do an "ls -la" and "sum" on your baseq3 directory and pak0.pk3 file.

Thank you.

Cheers from oz,


John.
