Running
User Levels :
To
run user levels in Quake you must first create a
new folder in your Quake directory called, "id1".
Once this is completed, you then create a new
folder in your new id1 folder called, "maps".
Next,
download the level of your choice from here.
Now
you need to determine if the map you have
downloaded is a .bsp file or a .pak file.
If
it is .bsp file :
1.
Extract the .zip file into your maps folder (ex:
c:\quake\id1\maps).
2. Load Quake, then bring up the console by
typing, " ~ ".
3. Then type, " map<name of map here>,
(ex: map ikspq5)
If
it is a .pak file :
1.
Extract the .zip file into a new folder in your
Quake directory (ex: c:\quake\mexx9).
2. Load Quake from dos prompt with -game <name
of folder> (ex: quake -game mexx9)
*The simpliest way to load .bsp
files or .pak files is to use a frontend program
called QuakeOn. You can download it from the files page.*
