e2m2 map!?

[kboykowboy]

hi all - just got it all running and wanna join the only server with people on ;-)... but i have downloaded a million maps but not the one they are playing e2m2 ... can anyone help me out?! where can i find it?

[Mr.Burns]

i could always be wrong but I was always under the impression that this was one of the singleplayer maps that came with Quake out of the box.

If you start a single or multiplayer game, go in to console by hitting the tilde key "~" and type changelevel e2m2 does the map load for you? If it does then this suggests your problem lies elsewhere such as a modified version of this standard map running on that server or connectivity issues.

It may help some of the Quake guru's here (of which I am not one) to help you if you could give them a little more information such as what on screen error messages are you getting? Are you having the same problem on all servers? Or one in particular? Help them to help you

Hope this helps

"could'nt spawn server Maps/e2m2"

thats what it tells me.. strange...

[Mr.Burns]

I don't think it's related but I seem to recall that the free version of Quake had some restrictions on what maps you could play. I didn't think that e2m2 was one of these but just to be on the safe side are you running the Full registered version of Quake?

You could always try reinstalling the Pak files from disk and see if that solves it.

sounds like he is running the shareware version, which only has episode 1 maps.

[kboykowboy]

i probably am, but actually i have the old original cd! i just did'nt install it... any way i can fix it?

[R00k]

pull out that old cd and install it.

[Mr.Burns]

I believe that there are only a couple of different files that are in the registered version that are not in the shareware version, but I would try reinstalling the full version from your original CD just to be on the safe side.

Kind regards
