Any help is appreciated. > I've been playing old school custom maps with Fuhquake without problem. (My son gets me to laughing while he's chasing me with the nail gun or lightning gun and then waits for me to get stuck on a doorframe or some such and frags me to hell and gone.) Try putting the maps in like this... C:\QUAKE\fuhquake\Maps in the maps folder under Fuhquake itself. I've got maps like the Fragtown series, Martim, etc and they all work fine. Just open the game console using the tilda ~ key once you've started a deathmatch game and type in map and then the name of your desired map like "map fragtwn7" - without the quotes - and it should switch to that map. Hope that helps, Myrmidon -- And the "Now for something completely different" sig.
