I'm a looooong time Quake2 player, have had the game modded every which way, 
edited paks, built player models, you name it.  However, I've upgraded my pc 
with a new motherboard (Abit BH-6) and hard drive (WD Cariar 6.4).  Now when I 
go to install Q2 (a fresh one off the original CD-ROM), I get an error trying 
to execute the game: "ERROR Couldn't load pics/colormap.pcx".  I've only tried 
minimum install, since I only play deathmatch, but I've never encountered any 
errors like this before.  Don't recall any colormap.pcx, either, and I thought 
I'd pretty much been through baseq2 with a fine-toothed comb looking at maps 
and textures before - can't believe I'd have missed a palette.  Anyone got any 
advice?
