Just did a format, and my Q2 folder was about the only thing I forget to 
put in my other partition (dozy bastard), so reinstalling everything 
etc.

Now, its been a while since I've done this so, when you install CTF, do 
put it as its own folder within q2 or does it go in the baseq2 folder? 
(God that sounds bad, feel free to flame me at will, I deserve it...)

CTF should go in the ctf folder under Quake2.  I don't remember if you have 
control of the desination path when you install it or not.  The folder 
should contain a couple of .cfg files, pak0.pak, ctf2.ico, gamex86.dll and a 
readme.txt.

Cheers George, done that but for some reason I can't find q2ctf1-8 
(alright I know they're old but I like to play them from time to time. 
Should be in pak1.pak, right?

Ta everyone, got it sorted, even managed to get the bots sorted. One 
more question, anyone know the commands for the bots to invade the enemy 
base, defend the flag etc? Tried planetquake but without success.

For Eraser bots, bind keys to 'rushbase' and 'defendbase' to get them to
invade the enemy base and defend yours.
