How do I make a pk3?

I'm trying to make maps for Jedi Knight: Jedi Outcast, but I can't figure out what I have to do to zip it into a PK3.http://forums.filefront.com/images/s.../confusedx.gif Can someone help me?

Sure. Download PakScape. the Quake3 engine (JK2 uses it, modified heavily of course) has a great mapping setup. But PakScape is all you need. Hit "New" in it, make a folder called "maps" and put your file in there. Save as a PK3 and there ya go! (put a "levelshots" and "sound" file too for screenshot and nmucis/ambience, and a "textures/mymap" or "models/map_objects/mylevel" for new textures and/or mode). PakScape is a free download, jsut google and you'll find it. Enjoy mapping!

you can also save all the stuff you need into a .rar file with winRAR. Then change the file extension to .pk3. that works for me.

zip it with no compression, rename it yourfile.pk3 "yourname" being what you want it's name to be.

With Windows Me, and Windows XP, I just change the name from .pk3, to .zip, and Windows does the rest. Of course you have to have Windows set to view extension for known file types.
