You understand something wrong, *.map is the filetype you can open with the mohradiant to work,change... the map
*.pk3 is a form of zipped file, you can open pk3 with eg. winzip.
If you want to convert a existing map to a *.map file you had to use the *.bsp file which is zipped in the *.pk3

And is there a .bsp converter? Yes, but from what I hear its not the best.

The MOHTools/docs folder should have a couple of sample maps. Here is a tutorial map of mine you can play around with too.

Although this map could be the 8? marvel in the world I think it is too much complicated to me. I need something easy to learn. I've read a lot of tutorial and I think I can do something but this is not enough... you know.... I have 1 thousand questions...
For example: Now I know that you can unzip the .pk3 file and obtain the *.bsp file, but radiant only can open .map, .reg and some files more... How I can obtain the .map from .bsp file???
Now only left 999 questions?
Thanks to all for you time.

You can convert the .bsp back into a .map but its as good as useless as it messes up all the brushes, it converts each face of a brush into a new single brush so you end with a with a crazy thing.
You can get the program that does it here
/files.php
its called MohaaTools
