ehhh ehhh ehh JUST NO

This is the software for making pk3's
It requires the .bsp file only.
If you include the .map then people can work on your map.
Get a tutorial on how to use it.

It is a zip file.
Make sure you have all the paths right.

Hit command-I (the letter 'i') on it, go to "Name & Extension", edit extension/type there.  Ex.  Change *.zip to *.pk3, hit "return", click the button to use .pk3, and you are done.

as long as the .bsp is in a subdir called maps when you zip it.
Or in other words, read this (http://tremmapping.pbwiki.com/Starting+Tremulous+Mapping#LayoutofthePK3).

you could just view some pk3s (like arachnid2, atcs) to see the layout... anyway it has been explained for hundreds of times
