Making A PK3 using pakscape
Versions: You must be logged in to view history.
Playername show us how to make a pk3 using pakscape and also how you view and use pakscape.

First you could go download pakscape here.

Save it into your CoD folder and unpack it into its own folder in the Call of Duty folder called PakScape.

Making A PK3

Now make a new folder with your map name in your Call of Duty Main folder.

PakScape_html_1988479e

Now add all the folders like *maps\mp *levelshots\layouts *mp *sounds *soundaliases and add your read_me here too.

Take your .bsp and all your .gsc files and put them in the maps\mp folder.

Next place your ARENA file in the MP folder (NOTE: not with the .bsp!)



Now for a loading screen put the .jpg in the levelshots folder and for a layout put the .dds in the layouts folder.



Now for any sounds your are using place them in the Sounds folder.



Now for the sounds you need a .csv file. Place that in the soundaliases folder.



Now open PakScape and create a new file.



Now copy everything in the folder you made with all the files.



Now paste them into your new PakScape file.



To save it go to File>>Save As and type in your mapname then select Quake 3 Pak (*.pk3)
