Cannot compile PK3s

You zipped the containing directory, rather than just the files and directories you were keeping in it, i have no idea if that's important but it seems that opening your zzz-wolfbrmodb5 directory and selecting everything inside before zipping the lot together is worth a shot, so that when you open the resulting zip you see gfx, models, scripts, etc. rather than a zzz-wolfbrmodb5 containing those.

Okay, right, I'll try that. However that's not how the actual mods unzip, so I doubt that would work.... I'm thinking someone whos done this before can decompile, recompile, and see if it works then to narrow out the actual construction of the file and onto my computer.

This is how it should be done, yes.

Programs put all the unzipped files inside a folder so your current folder will not be littered with files that may or may not have come from the zip file.
Yes, it can be a little confusing if you don't know that.

Just open any zip file in whatever archive viewer you have, rather than extracting it, you'll see its structure.

Mac doesn't have one, unfortunately. Thanks for the HELP!

Heres your issue: when you change the extension, mac just adds it to the name and hides the .zip.  you need to right click and click get info, where you can get rid of it alltogether.

I'm fairly sure windows has shipped with one since XP.
