i think i can answer some of those Q's
dealing with 'LOAD BSP'
"world\ikzdm1.pk3" - changing the directory to 'world', then looking for the ikzdm1.pk3, but does not find it.
"ikzdm1.bsp" - loading the BSP file, which the directory has already been changed to 'world'
--this MAY cause problems on other systems, its better to use this code "LOAD BSP "", "world/ikzdm1.bsp" - this will not look for the PK1 file, only the BSP
i use QuArK 6 for making BSP files, it is an editor for Quake, but is real easy to use. go to www.planetquake.com/quark to get the file "FREE"
as for X files, is have 3D Canvas Pro, fairly easy to use, however it is not free! i know how you CAN get it for free, but i do NOT support this action.
for skins and sounds, i am as lost as you are!
the search button? dont think they even have one!, which SUCKS, my forum has search!
hope this helped, if you want email me at
