There's a typo on this page that can cause a messy problem: http://tastyspleen.net/quake/downloads/README-UNZIP.txt


On the below section of text it says to "unzip these into your baseq2 directory" but that's the wrong place, they should be unzipped into your quake2 directory for everything to be placed correctly.

"You'll want to unzip these into your baseq2 directory.  Tell your unzip program
to preserve directory paths.  From inside your baseq2 directory, the above
should automatically resolve into:"

I unzipped one of these zips into my baseq2 directory and it made a bad mess.

The zip files were updated in 2020 and the TXT file 2015, so the folder structure probably changed and the TXT file just wasn't updated.

I just updated it.

Thanks!

Quake II is not 27 years old. I refuse to accept THAT much time has gone by.
