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.

You're right totally OT.(What ever that means) Look at the date I joined and maybe it will give you a clue as to why i just recently posted. Thanks for the HELPFUL input Killer.

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

if u guys want i can give u a practical explanation of what u guys can do while pure and pb and what not, though, u just will be kicked by pure for loaded pk3s which overwrite scripts and modified pak0-pak8.pk3 and any modified pk3 which is also on server.
