Rena posted an important topic about keeping your Q3 client clean, so that you can always connect to Pure servers. Very important info for all players!

Keeping your Q3 client clean
I was wondering how you are suppose to load maps when they have to be in the baseq3 folder and there is not suppose to be anything else in there. I cant load a map unless it is in the baseq3 folder and not in a subfolder, that is the game wont load it when changing maps in server.

It's ok to place maps or have maps auto-downloaded in the baseq3 sub-folder (sub-directory). PB isn't going to kick you for that. I have seen one (1) PB server (very rare and only on the strictest settings) kick (not ban) for having a customized crosshair (pak9.pk3).
It's true that most maps are auto-downloaded into \Quake III Arena\baseq3 but maps can be auto-downloaded to \Quake III Arena\excessiveplus and work just as well.
While the majority of my maps are in baseq3, some like pigskin.pk3 ( a map that is on NWC Coliseum and a few other servers) are in the excessiveplus sub-folder and work just fine.
Perhaps Sarasota or some other Server Admin can explain why most maps go to baseq3 and why even if you have some maps in the excessiveplus sub-folder that they get auto-downloaded again and placed in to the baseq3 folder.

Juggernaut,
This is OUR Forum, ignore the idiotic comments from non-WASP/WASP2 players.
I make no apologies about this. And if any non-WASP/WASP2 feels different then post so that I can delete it.

I think he was just noting that Jugg posted almost exactly one year later (off by 4 hours exactly). Very coincidental indeed.

You are right. But at the time, I did not read it carefully as I was in a bad mood because someone else did post (elsewhere in the WASP2 Forum) some idiotic comments that I deleted. Consequently, I was in "Delete Mode" and very sensitive to any perceived "meddling" in WASP/WASP2 affairs.

Practical explanations are always valuable so please feel to post your knowledge.
I have hear a lot of misconceptions about Pure and PB over the years so a reference point for n00bs and the misinformed would be helpful.

Skully will learn you some knowledge
As to the question of why some maps go into dir baseq3 and some into dir excessiveplus, it seems in the Excessive Plus code there's an sv_cvar that can determine that (maybe someone else can confirm this as I don't feel like going through code with a comb ;d), and judging from the looks of my baseq3 folder most server admins have theirs set to download to baseq3.
You won't harm your game setup by moving any maps from E+ folder to baseq3 - unless they overwrite pak0-pak9.pk3 as Skull said. Any modifications to these ten pk3 files will get you kicked by Pure server.
Edit - And Trance was just pointing out how long ago I'd started this topic before all the replies started coming in again, lol. He's not idiotic
