I tried to watch a demo using etmain (linux). It played for a few momements and then bailed with an "Unknown Event: 131" error. According to the forums this means it's an etpro demo, so I:
1) removed ~/.etwolf/etpro (the main installation of the game doesn't have any mods installed)
2) downloaded etpro-3_0_1.zip
3) unzipped the file, added read permission to all the files extracted and copied to ~/.etwolf/etpro
4) ran the game using the mod: et +set fs_game etpro
5) tried running the demo again and got this error message:

"BG_IndexForString: unknown token 'NOT': (animations/scripts/human_base.script, line 3351)"

6) Extracted the *.so files from the etpro/*.pk3 and placed them in the etpro directory, as some
suggested for windows users. Still got the same error message.
7) Tried "initializing" by running '/map oasis' from the console and got this error message:

"G_Script_ScriptParse(), Error (line 1519): unknown action: set."

8 ) Trying to watch demo after that still gave the BG_IndexForString error.

I've tried using etpro-3_0_0.zip, etpro-3_0_0-testbugfix26.zip, and etpro-3_0_1.zip.
I've tried unzipping/extracting the *.so files before even trying to play the demo and/or
starting a local map with '/map oasis'.

Always these same 2 errors.

etpro 2.0.? works fine for both demo viewing (not 3.0.? demos of course) and starting
a map locally.

A few minutes ago I connected to a server running etpro 3.0.1, it downloaded some
stuff, and then I disconnected and quit. After restarting et I was able to play demos.
Problem fixed for me. Thanks all.

Strange.

Sounds almost like you got a bad download on 3.0.1 - but if that were the case, the .zip wouldn't have opened ( back checksum etc ).

hmm

md5sum for etpro-3_0_1.zip
d3bd03987230049fcf81c973d6b43d62

Downloaded again to check. It looks ok. Comparing my ~/.etwolf/etpro to a freshly
unzipped etpro-3_0_1.zip:

I have a brand new qagame.mp.i386.so in ~/.etwolf/etpro
(md5sum c927e577bb12f7abb4200c6a5bd5256f)

Not found in either etpro-2_0_1.zip, etpro-3_0_0.zip,
etpro-3_0_0-testbugfix25.zip, etpro-3_0_0-testbugfix26.zip, etpro-3_0_1.zip,
or their respective pk3 files.

So you have to connect to a server to get it (at least for linux users).
