0.9.21

Yes, there's a new version. This is mostly a bugfix release for 0.9.20 which introduced primitive model support and use of ZIP files in place of WADs.

how would I add maps to the pk3?

Put them in there as a whole WAD. Although it is theoretically possible to split it up int lumps it is not recommended.

primitive model support? what does that mean? which model files are supported?
also are models from Risen3D supported?

Primitive means that you are limited in the ways to define them Lighting also isn't done yet. Currently supported formats are Q2's MD2 and Doomsday's DMD which is a superset of MD2 so it made sense to support both. For others I don't have sufficient specs to support them at the moment.

so now we're able to play with Doomsday's models, correct?

Providing you define the MODELDEF yourself, yes. Bear in mind that interpolation probabally isn't implemented yet so they will animate like sprites (Think VaVooms models)

No. They don't fit in the current definiton method.

Woot! New version. Hey GzdooM looks awesome in OpenGL mode.

Um, GZdoom is a GL port. It's been there since the first release.

It is curious that the files are often referred to as that. Everyone knows they are just renamed ZIP files and that PK3 is just the id software convention (presumably indicating they view it as the third incarnation of container files for their games that started with the quake PAK file) for the ZIPped resources shipped with Quake3 engined games. To me, they are logically tied in with Quake3. I don't see why the PK3 extension should have any relevance outside that engine.

It just strikes me as a little odd that Doom ports and Doom players refer to them as PK3 files when they are not playing Q3. Especially when the same people refer to exactly the same format as a ZIP in all other circumstances.

What's more, it's meant that I finally felt the need to set up an association for Winzip with the extension PK3.

Not saying there shouldn't be support for the extension (especially as JDoom has it, so people will want to transfer resources I suspect). I'm just saying.

Yes I knew that already. Thanx for calling me a complete moron. I never could run GzdooM in OpenGL mode because I was using a Win98 machine that had no OpenGL supporting graphics card.
