Ok “my” et wolfenstein will only hold about 500 maps (of anykind) before an error appears. Plenty of disk space.
And I tired them in different sequences …

And it does not matter.
and keep in mind I have over 1000 maps throughout the years. I’m looking for a solution to this , not a “just relocate them” :?
There are quite a few hard coded limits that relate to the number of .pk3 files and such. Not much you can do except move the ones you rarely play out of your etmain directory somewhere.
as stated pretty much the only way to do it is relocate them, or maybe run different instances of game for the different categories like tj maps, duel maps, specific mod maps, etc
