this doesnt fix the pakscape but it should work.

WRONG!!!!

you cant do that, there are paths and directories that winzip wasnt meant to create, you cant make a zip file and change the file type, its like trying to turn an mp3 to a txt... i had been trying to make pk3's with winzip for a while, pakscape is pretty much the only way to do it.

WRONG!!!!

i did it just now and it worked perfectly. the directories were preserved perfectly, and mohaa ran it. you can change the extension because a pk3 is a zip in disguise. the extension doesnt change the filetype, it just tells the computer what to use to open it.

maybe it is a setting that preserves the directories or maybe we have different versions of winzip thats causing problems.
