Hi,
I just started in this forum. I was wondering in GTK radiant 1.5 how to make a pk3 file and is it really that necessary? and i all ready made a woking functioning map with mgs, elevators, basic doors, spawnpoints and cabinets (no comand post, no lights, no dynamiteable stuff, somewhat unfair to allied and if you fall off the edge you keep FALLING!. no sky neither). my map sort of looks like a castle/villa :). sorry if there is a thread like this.
help will be appreciated, thank you 
a Pk3 file is a renamed zip file You need also a program to make a zip file. My favo is 7-Zip:
Its free 
Greetz
sCenna.
but, do i HAVE to put objectives for allied or can i just let axis win reguardless?
Tutorial for a basic pk3 creation tutorial:
Basic “how to make a graphic / sound mod” tutorial
For a map you have to add several other files to the pk3.
For winning conditions you have to create a scriptfile.
Ifurita has written several tutorials.
One for creating pk3 files for maps and a very good scripting tuorial.
You should find a link to his homepage by searching for his name here in the forums.
ya, but all my maps use defualt textures and all, i dont want to make a mod, all i need is to make a pk3 for my map and an arena file how do you make those?
also i sort of made a pk3 but not exactly(you can see it at the server selection menu), when my friend connected he took forever and he told me he downloaded other maps that weren’t mine at all but i have them (including the one in play)!
thanks for the link anyway! :)thanks for the link, but i have decieded on opening another pk3 file(I chose chateau) and made a new file and sort of copied some important bits such as maps and scripts. inside the maps file i put in my bsp file. inside the script file i put in an arena file copied from chateau and i just edited it to my specs, i made a levelshots file and copied chateau’s pics and renamed the extension to pk3.
so, i ask is this enough to make a pk3 file?sorry about my last post, i know that was a stupid question. i only wrote it because i was getting crazy.
but fortunately i had decieded to use pakscape and it half works. i can select it normally through the host server and i have made a pk3 file BUT my friend wanted to connect but the same problem of downloading irrelavant mods and map!
what should i do to fix that? help shall always be appreciated!
thank you!your server install of the game should only have the maps you want to use in it’s etmain folder, otherwise people will have to download everthing in your etmain.
sorry i haven’t replied in a week. internet failure :S
so, how do i exactly do that?
and when i tried fritzbot it said "couldn't find official pak file please verify your installation" what does that mean, do i have to get a file from pak0.pk3 into my pk3 or something?
and is fritzbot suitable for multiplayer play?
help will and shall be appreciated, thank you!
