in pak0.pk3 you can find all the files used in ET

you have to look for the thing you want to replace (careful not to edit pak0.pk3)
once you have the image, edit it or change it, then you will have to make a new pk3 with this file it it.

So rebuild the structure you found it in in pak0
for instance the ranks are in
gfx/hud/ranks/

So to replace for instance rank2.tga, you have to copy that file to a different location. Then edit it.
Then rebuild the structure you found it in so:
-create a new folder called gfx
-inside that folder create a new folder called hud
-inside the folder hud create a new folder called ranks
-place the edited rank2.tga in the new ranks folder

Now you have copied how it was in pak0, so when you make it into a pk3 it will overwrite pak0.pk3
so in order to do that go back to the folder gfx
Select it and compress it into a .zip file
so in the .zip file you will have gfx/hud/ranks/rank2.tga
rename the filetype to .pk3 instead of .zip

Make the name z_myfirstmod1.pk3
(the name has to start with a letter that comes after P otherwise it won’t work)

You can also replace multiple files by bundeling them up in 1 zip file.
