.pk3s and windows XP

[boinga1]

OK. I have made several mods before, so I know what i'm doing. I had windows 98. now, i get XP. I go through the same process and all, but JO won't recognize my MODs. I open a .zip file with winzip, add the needed files, and rename to .pk3, putting the file in 'modland' in the /gamedata folder. It will not show up in the MODS menu now. Help please!

 

edit: when i paste in the /base directory it works, but not in 'modland'

go to your "control panel", then go to "folder options"

select view in your "folder options" panel and be sure "hide extensions to know file types" is switched off.

 

if this was the same problem I had about 2 months ago you will see that youre files are called something like

" flametrower.pk3.zip"

Winzip doesnt work with XP, it still thinks the .pk3 file is a .zip file, I recomend pakscape for making .pk3´s. Make a serch on google for it.

[boinga1]

(sighs)...already did that. it still doesn't work.

 

edit:never mind, I downloaded the patches and MODs load fine.

 

Problem Solved!!!

On the contrary, I have XP Home and Winzip 8.1 and I have absolutely no problems with it. The trick to making .pk3's is to turn off 'compression', then you can name your pk3 without having to suffer with 'yourmod.pk3.zip' errors.

I have small problem

 

I want to edit/change duel music in:

..\GameData\base\assets0.pk3

 

in assest0.pk3:

..\music\mp\duel.mp3

 

There is a some kind of .pk3 program?

[Dark Reaper]

alright first rule of modders : NEVER EVER MODIFY A ASSETS*.PK3

 

 

you should make a new folder called Music\MP\

then take youre sound and name it to Duel.mp3 place it in the folder

 

now zip it with winzip ( zip the music folder) and then rename it to pk3. put it into youre base map and tadaa a new sound for the MP menu
