PEBKAC!

How and where have you downloaded the pk3 's of the maps?

The pk3 files work on ALL systems.. i guess like Brutail that you did not 'install' them right. you just have to download them in put them into the Nexuiz/data directory..
Could it be easier? What was it you did?

Safari will either unzip the pk3's or add the file extension .zip to the end of them. Both of which are not helpful.
Prolly put's cream on top too if you ask it, also not helpful.

Usually this Auto-Unzipping is pretty handy.
Imo the original .zip stays in 10.5, while in 10.4 Tiger it's being deleted. You can find the source file inside of your trash bin :P

It's very simple- safari automatically appends .zip to the .pk3 and unzips them, and puts the .zip in the trash.

All you have to do is delete the unzipped folder, retrieve the mapname.pk3.zip out of the trash, and rename it so it's just mapname.pk3. Throw that in ~/.nexuiz/data, and you are good to go.

Actually Apple's Webkit is based on KHTML so Konqueror has the same kind of speed. Apple does release it's Webkit source code as required by the GPL but does so in big undocumented lumps meaning that it's pretty hard for anyone else to use. This is the same as what they do for anything else under an open license.
