hmmm...
so...
today morning i wanted to play a non-ps server. it needed some new packs and it was succesfulled but after that i cant play couse the program doesnt want to open.
the main console (the window on desktop) write this message: "couldn't reopen d:\pro.files\wolf...\etmain\pak0.pk3"
i have ubuntu linux and tried to copy this file from it to here but didnt work.
after that i reinstalled ET without uninstalling but the message still come up.
is there any idea what is the problem?
MOD:
i would like to play under linux but cant copy etkey into that folder and its annoying that my mouse buttons dont work under linux[/img]

well...i'm a little n00b on those things but it seems that what you downloaded from the "other" server was corrupted or not compatible with your PC OS....well the fastest solution sould be to reinstall the game...but uninstall it first so you can clear up everything wrong there is in your ETmain folder...I hope it works...

well guys thx for the ideas but it solved: i deleted those packs what was downloaded.
maybe there is an upper limit about the amount of maps or packs on the pak0.pk3 files...dunnow

Yes, there is indeed a max on that. Cleaning up ET helps.
A good place to start is removing any .pk3 files from ETMain which are under 200kb, these are likely to be some random public server's campaign file and if ever needed again will be quickly redownloaded. You may also want to remove any old custom maps you no longer play. Can also be worth checking ETPro's folder for small .pk3 files, to remove 'watermark' images some server's use, but try to aviod removing any files that may be associated with custom maps you still play. In ETMain, do not delete pak0.pk3, pak1.pk3, pak2.pk3 or mp_bin.pk3. In ETPro folder, aviod deleting etpro-x_x_x.pk3. And of course, be extremely cautious if you decide to delete any non -.pk3 files.
