PK3 to SHP 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 SHP files?
The SHP (Shapefile) format stores vector files compatible with various Geographical Information System (GIS) software. SHP was developed by the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), an American provider of GIS software and geodatabase management solutions, with the aim of improving interoperability between GIS software produced by ESRI and other developers. An SHP file usually contains vectorial descriptions of geospatial data (e.g. rivers, lakes), including specific attributes.
