[STORMnl]

hi

   

   how do i get 792 .zip files change in 1 time to .pk3

   

   't's pk3 but windows changed it in to .zip

   ,ust i do every file one by one our can i do it all in once

   

   it are maps,,but came as a .zip file

   basicly it's a .pk3 file

   

   how must i change it,,,

   i don't want to do them all one by one

You mean you open pk3 files with winzip?

I call BS since when does windows change a file extension on you . Your post is really hard to read are you sure you haven't had a few too many wobbly pops ?  It wouldn't be hard to write a simple program that would change the fils extentions .

maybe you change them accidentally to open as pk3 while checking properties.

   You can set pk3's to open as a compressed archive ie zip file but that does not change the extension .

Rename to .pk3

i know that i must rename them,,it are pk3 files,,but show up as zipfiles (.zip)

   

   but rename 792 maps is a lot of work,,,

   

   and i stil have that zip icon than

Select one of the files, go to properties find the 'file types open with' and click on change and select packscape or winrar from the list, if it's not in there use browse to track down and select the program's main exe file.

   

   The icon should change if not, open a folder, go to 'Tools'-'Folder Options' and select the tab File types and track down the type PK3 in the list. Click on it once you found it. You'll see you can change "open with" there as well. Click advanced, in the top box of the new window click change icon, select either the .exe of the .ico file of pakscape (or winrar) so it'll set the icon right.

   

   Now everything should be back to normal. However windows has a nasty habbit of once setting a new icon clearing the "open with" option to nothing. Select the "open with" in the same box(of folder options tab "file types), choose your program again and then set the icon again.

   

   Hope it works.
