In your Baseq3 directory. However, custom models are not yet 100% compadible with Gen right now.

well , the enforer should work straight out of the pack , its the other models like the arachnatron and such that dont do it yet ( by default :) )

Yes.  There's technical reasons that support for third-party models isn't in yet.  When it's fully supported, we'll make the info available on how to do it properly.  The Enforcer was an in-house project, so it should work like any of the default models.

as much I hate backseat modding, double posting is a bad idea. Try the edit button. :)

Anyways, I'm not sure what I can tell you... Quake 3 should automatically load the pk3 file...

Wait, did you unzip the pk3?  If so, you shouldn't do that.  You should just have it set up like this:

C:/Quake III Arena/baseq3/tabun_qforcer.pk3

Assuming C:/Quake III Arena is your Quake 3 folder.  I had to use forward slashes since the forum webcode doesn't like backslashes.

As far as I know, Tabun didn't release a bot file with his Enforcer model.  And the model doesn't show up as a selectable model in the menu... but you can play as that model if you type in /model qforcer, in the console (or whatever his exact name is, I forget).

I think somebody did post a botfile for the model tho, somewhere in the message post where you probably found out about the model.
If you actually wanted to fight against the Enforcer model.
