So I've downloaded over 800 deathmatch maps for Quake 3, and extracted all the pk3s to a single folder. There's that many pk3's anyway. Some files appear to be textures, weapons, or bots. How many pk3 files can Quake 3 handle at one time?

I wouldn't put anywhere near that many into my baseq3 folder all at once. Maybe 50 at a time. -- http://improve-usenet.org No passion so effectually robs the mind of all its powers of acting and reasoning as fear. - Edmund Burke

Which is funny since a pk3 is an uncompressed zip file. I did copy the pk3 files, change the extension, then extracted the .bsp files so I could make a list of the maps. Then deleted both the .bsp and renamed pk3 files. I'm not sure what PowerDesk would do with an uncompressed zip file. Speaking of which, anybody know of a good archiving program? One which has a built in Windows Explorer like file browser? It would help if it could do dual pane, also. PowerDesk takes up far too much resources. It's constantly refreshing the view.

Winrar is the best there is.... it can do dual pane, no problem.
