which maps? and what do their doc files say?
usually, u can place the pk4 file inside the base folder and then it's a case of entering this into the doom3 console:
map mapname
Though there are variations on this sometimes. HTH?

edit: unless you mean the console isn't available, in this case have:
seta com_allowConsole "1"
saved in the file: autoexec.cfg

I found some maps for example the "the_genetic". When i downloaded , i could see that this map is not the_genetic.map format.
This is in "the_genetic.pk4" format which is 55Mb without .doc and readme file . I extracted these files, and i see that this pk4 files includes the new files for the maps ( textures , models , guis , ... ) and the map files. I have an idea , i will extract the pak file and the probably first map i will copy to the maps directory. I hope it will works.

ahhh yes Genetic - a wonderful download this one :) Good choice! (but bad docs for it! lol)

Just put the pk4 file inside the base folder. Load up Doom3 and enter this into it's console:

map genetic/genetic1

Done! Enjoy :D

Thanks the tip , but i extracted the map directory from the pak file , and console map genetic/genetic1 . It is a good map , but i cannot finised the play out , because the third map has not been loaded.

Just move this file into the base folder... u don't need to extract anything from the pk3 file.
It's a preview also, map 3 isn't done yet. Still, does no harm to look i suppose ;)

Yes, you are completely right , need not to extract the map files. I deleted the extracted files , and the map works as before. So, i did not know the map path in the pk file.

Otherwise have you got a map which you made ? Or screenshots ? Or actual project ?

Generally speaking, any spmap's pk4 file just goes inside the base folder and you should never have to unpack that file. ok?

I don't design maps (i wish!) though I do host. But mainly to support the Mac ppl ;) as most sites forget about us Though pc peeps can also logon to.

Check out my profile with the url i've listed. More info there and there are many more spmaps All great fun!
