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.BlackFish wrote:pk3
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.
