If you are using Winzip to make your pk3 file just make the .zip and then rename it to .pk3....simple as that:)

Really not quite that simple, but I got him squared away using the new and wonderful IRC channel.

Get "pakscape", that's easier to use when you are dealing with pk3 files.

Using winzip is easier if you already made a work environment.

Cant agree with you!! Pakscape is the easiest way!

although I use pakscape I sometimes just rename my zipfiles in Dos-mode(prompt). It's not the fastest way to do it but it works.
Make your zip using folder names. At the prompt go to the directory where the zipfile is located using; cd (dir name). Then look for the dos-name of your zipfile (let's say you named it: myzip.zip)

At the prompt type: ren myzip.zip myzip.pk3

Exit the dos-prompt and you're done. I repeat, it's not the fastest way to do it but it works;)

You could just adjust your "Windows" settings to shown file extentions of known file types.

Well if your using win9x its;

cd\windows\desktop

Starting from the root directory (Drive letter, normally C:\) your operating system is installed to. Don't forget you can use;

cd..

To move back one level.

No, Winzip is easier. Pakscape needs to drag files in. Winzip just needs to compile in a few secs. Escpecially if yo already created a Work Environment.
