Installing the excessive patches
Unpack the content of the .zip file to your Quake III Arena directory, so that the
following structure is kept:
C:\Games or what ever\Quake III Arena\excessiveplus\pak0.pk3
I am not sure what to do here. Do I make a folder for this or Do I put it some where? I looked for this stucture but could'nt find one... sorry don't mean to be so dumb but I guess I am................ pleeze help I am lost
You are right. U have to put pak0a.pk3 in quake/excessiveplus folder. What's the problem?
But, do you have xp-1.0.zip installed?
First you need to check if files in the zips are all stored in the excessiveplus folder (I cannot remember at the moment and dont have those zips to check it for ya). If not, then you need to create excessiveplus subfolder under your q3 directory. Then you can extract all the files found in the zips into that excessiveplus folder. First you extract the 1.0 files and then you extract 1.01 files, overwritting the existing ones.
Right click on the xp-1.0.zip
Select 'Extract to...'
Point to your Quake 3 folder e.g. C:\Games\Quake III Arena\
Click on extract
Do the same with xp-1.01-beta.zip
oh boy cid he must extract 1.01 to C:\Games\Quake III Arena\ excessiveplus otherwise he put it also in the quake directory
No the zip has the folder excessiveplus.
Do it like cid suggested.
