Making a .pk3
Now make a new folder with your map name in your Call of Duty Main folder.
Now add all the folders like *maps\mp *levelshots\layouts *mp *sounds *soundaliases and add your read_me here too.
Take your .bsp and all your .gsc files and put them in the maps\mp folder.
Next place your ARENA file in the MP folder (NOTE: not with the .bsp!)
Now for a loading screen put the .jpg in the levelshots folder and for a layout put the .dds in the layouts folder.
Now for any sounds your are using place them in the Sounds folder.
Now for the sounds you need a .csv file. Place that in the soundaliases folder.
Now open PakScape and create a new file.
