how do you get custum pk3s to work on a server?

Add 'user-' in the front of the filename, without quotes.

Example:

minepack.pk3

becomes

user-mypack.pk3

see?

the reason why we put "z" or "y" or most common "user", is that we dont want to conflict the original .pk3s. u see, moh reads from the back, so the one with the longest "z" (last alphabet), gets to overwrite other pk3s. :P

but stuff that wont replace the originals (e.g. maps, skins, textures), can just be named anything,

BUT

stuff like weapons need to have a "user", "z", or "y" infront of it.

i dont see why it wouldnt work for any lette then, from the back the only pk3s are numbers.
