Hi all,
does anyone know a tutorial explaining the Q2 pak file format?
(I'd like a tut as the Q2 source code is simply unreadable imho :mad: ...)
Thx
Thx but...
I know that only Quake 3 Arena's paks are renamed zip file, while Q1 and Q2's are not...

FreshPorts -- games/quake2-data::
17 posts - Last post: Oct 16, 2005This port installs the data files needed to run Quake II: the updates for the copy of the game in order to obtain the pak0.pak file.

Oh yeah. I forgot about that part. I found a web site that said that the pak file is just a renamed zip file. I tried it with Quake 1 and 2 pak files and stuffit couldn't decompress either of them. Wosit (http://www.wotsit.org/) has the file format, just do a search.
I hope this helps:

We will say this however, be sure to delete the config file in ~/.quake2 every copy the pak files to to your new Quake 2 /baseq2 directory on Linux.

For the record (do you say that?), here is the format briefly explained:

Ah, I forgot that's a BSP tutorial (don't worry I'm still thanking you ibullard ;) ): what I meant is a PAK tut... that's because everything is inside paks (BSPs included), so before dealing with BSPs (and whatever) I must deal with PAKs.

As far as I know, the .PAK files are basicly zip files containing all the gamedata. eg the BSP level data (See above link).
I'm not compleatly sure about this (Can't test, don't own quake), but if it's indeed so, you can read up on the zip file format here:
