PK3 Tutorial -- Now in a cute html format...

A PK3 is a ZIP file, with the extension changed, as in, my.zip = my.pk3

1
Start by creating a *.zip file on your desktop or other location...

 

2a = No network
Create duplicate folders/files of what you want in your pk3 directly on C:\

so it would be
c:\textures\myob\myob.jpg
instead of something like
c:\modding\sof2\base\textures\myob.jpg

2b = Network
Share the base folder of your sof2 installation...

 

2bii
Open "My Network Places" and find your shared base folder under the title you gave it upon sharing...

OR - Inside MyNetworkConnections, choose "view workgroup computers", then your computer, then the shared folder...

3
Open your new zip file with winzip...
4
Drag you file into winzip and set compression to Maximum (portable) or less to be compatable with SOF2... And make sure "Save full path" is checked...
5
Check the path, if done properly, you will have the path correct, as in this image...
6
Repeat process for all remaining files maintaining folder structure...
7
Rename *.zip to *.pk3
