Using MD3 files from PK3

[ZeroRaven]

During the course of working on a map, I've run into a question I never thought I would ask.

Is it possible to use MD3 models from a PK3 file without extracting them from a PK3 file into the base/models folder?

For a perfect example, Szicos_Modelpack1 readme states "unzip into the base directory and enjoy" (paraphrased). This says to me that to utilize the files, unzip the folder so the szicos_modelpack1.pk3 file is in the base folder for JA and there you go. However to use these files in a map being made with gtkradiant, it is impossible to use the models directly from the PK3 file.

Perhaps this is a very noobish answer, however even a google search failed to turn up any documentation.
If anyone has any input or advice, much appreciated.

As I recall, you are correct, models must be outside of a pk3 to be used, preferably located in the base/models folder.

The only thing Radiant will load from a pk3 file is textures.

It's simple: Just extract the models folder from the PK3 into the base folder, all while keeping the actual PK3 file in the base folder as well.
