+h3. Step 3 -- Find the magic folders
 
 Locate your .xonotic folder ... this step can be a little confusing ...
 
 With xonotic there are 2 locations the game looks to find data ... 
-   there is the folder that the xonotic program sits in ... this is called the _install location_
-       this is located ... wherever you put it ... if you dont know ... try a search
 
-   there is also the personal/hidden xonotic folder ... its called the _personal location_
-       on linux this should be in ~/.xonotic 
-       on windows (7) its in ~/saved games ... or something like that
-       on mac ... its in ~/libraries/appdata ?? maybe ??

+
+h3. Step 4 -- Understand the magic folders
+
+if/when you find both of these folders ... you will see a data folder in *BOTH* of them
+
+this data folder is treated the same ... xonotic will read data from both of them ...
+this data can include ... maps -- textures -- sound -- models -- configurations -- and more ...
+
+we will be saving stuff in the _personal location_ ... because it is both safer (doesn't get wiped when updating xonotic) and it only applies to you ... not everyone using the computer
+
+h3. Step 5 -- Moving stuff
+
+remember that zip we extracted? ... there should be 2 folders in it .
+
+* data (yes ... another data folder)
+* mapping
+
+first open up the data folder and find the .pk3 file (may look similar to xonotic-maps-mapping.pk3)
+
+take the pk3 and move it to the data folder in  the _personal location_ 
+
+... if you are clever and found out that a .pk3 is really a renamed .zip *DONT EXRTACT IT* ... xonotic and netradiant read from the pk3 ... extracting is not necessary ...
+
+all done ... ok
+
+now take the mapping folder and move it to the root of _personal location_ (dont put it in any of the data folders)
+
+h3. Step 6 -- Get net-radaint working
+
+* if your on windows ... you are ready to go ... just double click on radiant.exe
+* linux users may have to compile theirs ... dont worry ... netradiant is a pretty easy compile ... i'll fill in with greater detail later
+* mac ... um ... its possible ... but complicated ... ill change this once I found that forum thread that explained how it is done
+
+
+
+h3. Step 7 -- Setting up netradiant
+
+remember the _install location_ ... netradaint wants to know where that is ... so ... be nice and tell it ... 
+
+If all went well you should be looking back at a nice net radiant (although the windows version is ugly) 
+also the textures window should be populated with lists of texture packs  ... if it isn't refer to step 5 ...
+
+h3. Step 8 -- Final words 
+
+YAY .. you finished the hardest part of mapping ... now you advanced to rank _1 - shape gazer_
