Hello everyone.

A friend of mine is currently working on his first map but I can't figure how to play it.

He didn't make it into a ".pk3" file yet, and he doesn't even know how to do it, but I thought it would be possible to play with the ".bsp" file only.

The Quake 3 Arena version I have installed on my PC is the steam one, and it's the 1.32c apparently. Anyway, in the baseq3 folder I created a "maps" folder where I put the .bsp file of my friend.

Still, in Quake 3 Arena, when I try to call the map using /map [mapname], the game fails to load and tells me he can't find "maps/mapname.bsp" file...

I don't know what's going on, and all the other extra VQ3 maps I have in pk3 (CPMA maps) works perfectly and are available in the skirmish list.

What do I do wrong ? Is the steam version special ? Isn't it possible to play .bsp maps with 1.32c ?
