Fuhquake vs. JoeQuake and custom maps

I'm an old time player of Quake 1 and I just loaded it again after many 
years (along with Scourge, etc.).  My buddy and I have just started to link 
up again using Fuhquake, and it plays the old DM matches fine.  However, 
I've tried everything I can think of to correctly load custom maps we used 
to play (bsp files) and nothing works in Fuhquake (i put 'em in 
quake/id1/maps, or under qw/maps, etc etc, doesn't help).

However, JoeQuake I discovered today WILL play these maps, but frankly I 
would love to use Fuhquake instead.  Any suggestions or is this just 
impossible to do?  I'm a newbie again after all this time so my knowledge is 
very limited about what's out there now, 10 years down the line from my 
fragging days.  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
