Harukaze Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 Try renaming it. Instead of whatever.zip, make it whatever.pk3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cROsIs** Posted July 18, 2002 Author Share Posted July 18, 2002 hmmm Well, it still says it is a WinZip file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanodagiardino Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 you need to change the extension from .zip to .pk3, to do this you have to remove the "hide extension from know file types" tag. Open anyfolder go in the tool menu---> folder options----> view tag and remove the tag from "hide extension from known file types". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMan Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 if a "pk3" is still recognised as a zip file, that is fine. I use winzip for all my pk3'ing needs. Works better and faster than anything else I've tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harukaze Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 I use XP's built in zipping dll, which for some reason I can't adapt to open up pk3s. So I gotta rename them every time I make a change, which is often when I'm tweaking an NPC and making a skin. Anyone have suggestions for that btw?

Plasmacoolant Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 The best program for working with .pk3's is definately pakscape. It is very simple to use and it allows you to open the .pk3 with the directory structure displayed clearly. It saves to .zip, Quake III .pk3 as well as the Quake .pak file extentions. You can grab it here; http://dl.fileplanet.com/dl/dl.asp?maldavria/pakscape/pakscape-011.zip The only limitation I found with the program was that previous versions could not handle large .pk3 files. The new version however has no problem in opening large files such as the assets0.pk3 -Plas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
