PK3 to PCX Conversion: FAQ
What are PK3 files?
The PK3 format is associated with several video games created with the Quake 3 Arena game software framework (also known as id Tech 3). PK3 files are in fact renamed ZIP archive files that contain several types of game data, defining maps, models, sounds, textures or weapons, among others. PK3 is a predecessor of the PK4 format, used by games developed with the id Tech 4 engine.
What are PCX files?
The PCX (Personal Computer Exchange) image file format is associated with PC Paintbrush, an image editing software initially designed for MS-DOS by ZSoft Corporation. At first, PCX files stored a limited range of colors but in time their range was extended to a 24-bit (true color) palette, and PC Paintbrush was adapted for Windows too. Though widely popular during the days of MS-DOS, the PCX format in time lost its appeal and was gradually replaced by formats such as JPEG and PNG.
