Try >downloading it from someplace else, maybe. Wouldn't a corrupt .bsp give me a different error than a can't find file? The pk3 seems to be fine, as I was able to extract the .bsp file when I renamed the pk3 to zip. (There's nothing like the send to clipboard as name Win95 powertool. 14 years later, and I'm still using it.) Could the pk3 file be compressed? How would I go about uncompressing it? I have PowerDesk, but it doesn't seem to have any command like this. (Doesn't display subfolders either.)
