Just a few questions which I think you might be able to help me with, as I don't play to many games myself.
As I currently understand it, the pk3 file is a compressed archive, and in order to install it you just place the pk3 file into a certain folder in the games root folder.
Can you also install the pk3 file by unzipping it into other folders in the games root folder which in turn would speed up the level loading process as no decompressing is required but taking up more room on the hard drive?
If that is the case then adding the support for the pk3 file format would not be to difficult, as the pk3 files are structured in such a way to be ready for loading, so the install part would be an easy extracting process.
Which way do most people install pk3 files, just drag and drop the pk3 file or unpack the pk3 file and place the files in there folders?
On another note, I also download my files to defined folders, depending on the game the archive is intended for, but I also know a good few people who don't.
Currently I would go for a single install instead of multiple installing of archives, and inform the user that the file being installed is being installed for a specific game, getting the root folders for games should be easy enough as most games do store it in the registry, with the option for advanced installing, which will also multiple installing and will only warn the user what
