Nahuel Thanks .
For those interested. There is how you make your own game called yourgamename :
1. have folder yourgamename
2. create pak0.pak in this folder by pakexplorer
3. into pak0.pak put
gfx.wad
quake.rc
progs.dat
config.cfg
autoexec.cfg
dir gfx with lmp files, dir maps with your bsp maps, dir sounds with wav sound you use
....
4. close pakexplorer
5. run "quake.exe -game yourgamename"

And the pak format only supports 8:3 filenames. So don't use any long names if you are going to put it in a pak file.

The standard case is lowercase, so before you PAK make sure you lowercase it all.
As far as I know the only limit was 56 chars for the entire filename including path of any file in the pak. If there actually is an 8:3 limit (is there?) it must be in the engine, not the pak format...?metlslime wrote:And the pak format only supports 8:3 filenames.
F. A. Špork, an enlightened nobleman and a great patron of art, had a stately Baroque spa complex built on the banks of the River Labe.
pak files support proper unix names, not just dos names. The fact that they're typically lower case is the clue here. It doesn't even recognise directories as anything other than a prefix on the file names.
If you're only getting 8.3 names, its the fault of your tools.
They're limited to 56 chars or so, but not in range of characters.

Pak doesn't only do 8:3 files names, it is just Pak Explorer with that crippling limitation.
Pakscape does longer file names just fine.
