I am reinstalling my OS after 2 years and 4 months,,, not bad if I say so myself. I am backing up everything and I noticed that in my Quake2 directory and baseq2 have same name folders like "Maps" >>C:\Quake2\textures and then there is >>> C:\Quake2\baseq2\textures and more to mention... I would think that all of these duplicates would go as one in the main C:\Quake2 folder,,, am I wrong?

Everything should go under "baseq2". Or whatever mod folder they belong to.

WoW, I guess for years now something has been going wrong because my Quake2 Directory has "Quake2/maps" and it is 1.2gig in size, and "Quake2/baseq2/maps" it is 79.9mb. I have a "Quake2/baseq2/env" 11.9mb and there is "Quake2/env" which is 120mb. " "Quake2/textures" is 192mb where the one in "Quake2/baseq2/textures" this one is only 20.9mb. Any tips?

Also when I deleted all my cfg's to start from scratch, Some where it was reading and saying at the Boot console screen in Quake2 it read, "Could not exec r1gl.cfg" or close to that. What it was doing was still referencing this exec command but I had uninstalled every "config.cfg" and every "r1gl.cfg" and every autoexec.cfg" in quake2 with show hidden files, show system files and dont hide extensions of known file types ,,,,, and I still got the message. Any clues? I did system restore which I do not believe in but I guess that was my Jesus moment of the year cause for some reason, system restore was on and I never use it or have it on, but I did say a lil prayer when I couldn't get it to boot at all saying "Doesn't recognize gl driver".... I have all this backed up, I probably have one of the largest Quake2 directorys in the world! hahahahaha But I dont want to redo all this, us old dudes should have it down pat, but the problem is we done it so many times and know the pains. First it's quake2 then Itunes so on and so on then Reinstall OS... I do not miss it at all..... This is the only game I play because of my music career and so I would like to get some advice please.... Old dogs can learn new tricks!

Duplicate folders like that are probably from a bad zip layout.
I've seen zips that start in quake2 folder and ones that start in baseq2.
Merging like Ely said will be fine,
I guess don't overwrite unless the one in Q2 folder is newer?
As for "The largest Q2 folder in the world" There is a thread around here about that.
Everyone posted their size... Was a long time ago, they are probably bigger now.
I was surprised at mine, 26 gig.
Although I have 2 other installs, and odds and ends zips elsewhere quake related.
Wonder if I can find that thread, it needs a bump.
