.scripts

[pritch]

Sorry if this is an obvious question but I trawled the rest of the forum and didn't see an answer and I must admit I haven't looked at doom3 mods until tonight.

A custom .script file that changes, say, the behaviour of a character. Does that have to replace the entry in the pk4? Do you have to back it up if you want to restore the original after messing around?

Thank ye.

You never need to replace anything inside the original .pk4 files, you simply create a new .pk4 file (with the according directories inside) and name it alphabetically higher then the original .pk4 files. Easy and safe way to modify things.

ah I see now. Thanks. I also see how the loading mods thing works in that you can combine different changes you make neatly, sort of pick and mix scrpt/texture changes in different pk4s, as in here. :P
