Where can I find the `id1` directory?

[nbro]

The README says

This works for demos in the PAK archives (e.g. demo1.dem) or any demos you happen to have placed in the id1 directory.

Where can I find this directory?

This may seem obvious to you but not to me.

I installed Quake through Steam. In the installation folder, I have this folder D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Quake\Id1. Is this the directory you're referring to? That directory contains some .PAK files indeed. In any case, it's spelled differently (uppercase) and so we need to change the code or rename the folder.

I tried to run

cargo +nightly run --bin quake-client --base-dir "D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Quake"

or

cargo +nightly run --bin quake-client --target-dir "D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Quake"

But this doesn't seem to work because it can't find the ld1 folder, even if I rename the string in the code.

Moreover, what do you mean by "demos"? Where can we find them?

Unsure if you're looking for an answer still, but have you tried renaming to all lowercase?

This line below looks to me like it's only looking for lowercase

richter/src/common/vfs.rs

Line 59 in 506504d

game_dir.push("id1");

A few lines lower it's also looking for pak, so probably the pak files need to be lower case also.
