Client Can't find maps

[shredpow]

Hi,
I'm new to this forum ,but not new to Quake.
I Just started getting back into it after about 10 years off.
I have been playing it on my Mac using an older client that ends up looking like the Q2 I used to play on My Win box years ago.
I was recently informed that the best way to do it is to use a more modern client , so I started using the aprq2 based client from jdolan.
This works and looks way better except for one thing.......I cant get it to find the custom maps.
I have a "baseq2"  folder with all the maps , textures,etc in it , but I haven't been able to get the client to find it . I can play single player,or the orig. DM maps no prob.
Any ideas?

What does the directory structure look like? Also, what are the file permissions on the folders?

One way to find out would be to open a Terminal window, and cd to your Quake2 folder, and type:

find baseq2 -type d -ls

Also:

find baseq2/maps -ls | head

Thanks for the help .
I am presently looking into this.
It looks like  MacintoshHD/applications/QuakeII.app/contents/macos/baseq2 is the dir. There is no Quake2 folder so that may be the problem.I'm a newb at terminal so this may take a bit......

Ok I guess I do have a quake 2 folder....I'm getting warmer...

I got it!
I was looking at the contents of the quake2.app instead of the contents of the quake2 folder in my user dir.
Thanks!!
