Deertag Posted July 7, 2007 Can anyone tell me how I can view wad files in Doombuilder that are pk3 zipped/packaged or whatever pk3 is supposed to be called? Thanks for any help 0 Share this post Link to post
fraggle Posted July 7, 2007 Rename to .zip, open using your favourite zip file software. 0 Share this post Link to post
Da Spadger Posted July 7, 2007 Iirc, you don't even have to rename it to open it if you're using WinZip or Winrar. >___> 0 Share this post Link to post
Deertag Posted July 7, 2007 Ok, to be more specific. I want to see what KDiZD looks like from Doombuilders point of view. Curiosity, eh. I downloaded the file kdizd.zip, its a normal zip file. extracted the files onto my hard drive. KDiZD plays fine on my PC. no problem up to this point. The file I want to see in Doombuilder is named kdizd.pk3. whether I keep the pk3 extension or rename it to wad, it wont open in Doombuilder. I get an error that reads Could not browse the WAD file contents in this file Error -2147221504: file is not in IWAD or PWAD format I figure either I am doing something wrong, or Doombuilder is having a problem, or this pk3 stuff is like some kind of Maxwell Smart security lock keeping me out. ok, so the 3rd option is sorta a joke. Any ideas or help? 0 Share this post Link to post

Doom_master1122 Posted July 7, 2007 i took kdizd into xwe just to look at how advance the scripting was. and i noticed. there are many wads in the pk3.so when youre opening it in doombuilder you cant.... to many wads in one file. so yeah do the thing fraggle said. 0 Share this post Link to post

Deertag Posted July 7, 2007 I did try Fraggle's advice at first. I didnt get the option to extract. it didnt highlight for me. I went back and tried again and it worked. Dont know what happened the first time but thank you all for the help 0 Share this post Link to post
