| File Description |
Compressed game data file used by Id Software games, such as Quake III and Return to Castle Wolfenstein; also used by other 3D action games such as Jedi Knight and Soldier of Fortune 2; may contain custom maps, textures, audio clips, or other data used for modifying gameplay.
Quake III PK3 map files should be saved in one of the following directories: "quake3/q3ut3/," "/quake3/baseq3/," or "/quake3arena/q3ut3/."
PK3 files are similar to .PAK game data files, but are based on a newer format; the contents of a PK3 file can be extracted using a file decompression program such as Corel WinZip or PKWARE PKZIP. |
