IntenseYen Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 i've read all the tutorials and it seems that they've all forgotten that you shouldn't underestimate the power of the ignorant, how on earth do you rename a .zip file into a .pk3 file...seems none of them explain it past "rename it..." that's pathetic..help...please?

B0MBER II Posted April 22, 2002 Share Posted April 22, 2002 when yiou rename it does it become file.pk3.zip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sights0d Posted April 22, 2002 Share Posted April 22, 2002 I've been selecting the file, then clicking on the name. Then wait a sec and it will let you edit the name. It then lets you rename it. Just type ".pk3" at the end. The icon will usually change if you have .pk3's associated with a program like winzip. If that doesn't work, check the properties (right click and get properties) and check to make sure that the file type isn't doubled, like kyle.zip.pk3 or kyle.pk3.pk3 I went through a half-hour of frustration, restarted my computer like 10 times before I realized that I'd named my skin starslayer,pk3 (the , looked like a .) Also, most programs will allow you to save it when you save the name. When you name it "kyle.pk3" it assumes that you want it to be a .pk3 type. Hope that helps.

VentGala Posted May 4, 2002 Share Posted May 4, 2002 Bomber, what's that about enabling file extensions in windows. How? You're my saviour! None of the tips I've read have helped, like you said, I get a file with double endings: blabla.pk3.zip So HOW do I enable file ex. in windows? Thanks, man!!!

VentGala Posted May 4, 2002 Share Posted May 4, 2002 Stupid me! That was actually rather simple, once I read a post on the subject. I found this information: Open Windows Explorer and click on Tools/Folders. Then click on the view tab and unchaeck 'Hide known file extensions'. NOW you can rename the file. (Notice that now the .zip shows up in the file name) I tried it and it worked. Woohooo! Thanks all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNode Posted May 4, 2002 Share Posted May 4, 2002 To rename a file you can also select it and press F2. Regarding the "hide known file extensions": I've never understood why it it's checked by default. What's the big deal about seeing an extension to a file. It's just 3 letters;) We'll prolly have to ask ol' Bill about that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
