Hi,
I downloaded the full 3.20 version of Quake 2 from planet Quake and when
I run
quake I get the following message: could't load /pics/colormap.pcx.
What am I missing here ?
Thanks Quakers.

my colormap.pcx is greyscale for some reason!
Im making a map with radiant, and used the quake root for the engine folder, when testing maps ive seen colored lights dont work...now the texture thumbnails are greyscale too. WHY!

if you swapped or changed the pak0 file you will encounter it, to fix it download a copyed quake 2 onlie and swap the pak0 file in the one you had the error with the one you installed :)

I contacted Knightmare for this problem and this was his reply:

"It looks like you've accidentally unzipped KMQuake2 into its own subfolder, or into a parent of the folder that contains Quake2.exe. KMQuake2.exe should be in the same folder as Quake2.exe. The files in the baseq2 folder (.pk3s and kmq2gamex86.dll) should end up in the same baseq2 folder that contains the main pak0.pak file.

Knightmare"
