Omicron Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 You would be surprised at how many people can't open rar files, I think sticking with zip files is fine, as all platforms can open it by default. Link to comment

minilogoguy18 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Yeah but .rar compresses the file so much more. Link to comment

ensiform Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 The current zip implementation will remain the only way for pk3s, anything else will just confuse the shit out of the filesystem. And its not portable with other stuff that reads pk3s like radiant and q3map2, and probably some other tools. Link to comment
eezstreet Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 we're talking about for JKH downloads, not for replacing minizip Link to comment
minilogoguy18 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I dunno about minizip, I've been using pakscape. Link to comment
eezstreet Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I dunno about minizip, I've been using pakscape.minizip is the library that the game uses to handle the ZIP/PK3 format. Link to comment
Circa Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 ZIP files don't require a third party application to open on any Windows, Mac, or Linux. RAR, 7zip, or any others do. A lot of non-modders may not have a program to open them, and shouldn't need to give an effort to use a file that we provide. You can submit a RAR file from an external host, but we will convert it to ZIP anyway. Omicron likes this Link to comment
