is it possible to run a edited pk3 file for ET like changing any of the iamges in pak0.pk3 then save it again and play on it? AS I’m having problems with trying to make a custom vocie chat screen the one which you get when you press ‘V’
sorry I posted this in the wrong section before

I just read the “Editing ET” title and not underneath where it says help with mapping =X lol
I wouldn’t modify anything in the stock pk3 files… You can replace the graphics anyway, with a custom pk3.

Read chapter 5 in particular.
You won’t see your modifications on a pure surver (unless the server also has the custom pk3), but this way you will still be able to play on them.
hmmm I made a new pk3 file with same file as the normal one but modified but it doesnt read the pk3 
any ideas?
Your custom pk3 only has to have the changes you made to the original pak0.pk3. If you edit pak0.pk3 you will not be able to play on any pure servers, and a majority of servers are running pure.
Putting it in a seperate pk3 file means your client will run the changes if either the server has the same file on it, or the server is not using the pure option.
There’s no way to use your own private custom pk3 files on a pure server.
