-pk3dir
-  Ioquake3 has a useful new feature for mappers. Paths in a game directory with
-  the extension ".pk3dir" are treated like pak files. This means you can keep
-  all files specific to your map in one directory tree and easily zip this
-  folder for distribution.

   and the mod source is derived from the id Q3 SDK, you will need to modify the
