The main reason is that it allows packaging the pk3 file's contents without compression*, while compressing the pk3 file itself in a zip to reduce size when uploading to the repository. I did that with the Doom 3 Keycards update I submitted a couple of weeks or so ago. * Due to lack of compression, the pk3 file loads quicker, since the engine doesn't need to decompress the file. It may not matter that much or at all for small things like what you get from the repository but it's generally a good thing to do.

I'd like to keep my files uncompressed too, especially since I'm probably gonna update quite a few submissions in the future and loading times might also be concern for the thing I'm working on (again, more about that in another thread) Please [Log in](https://www.realm667.com/component/users/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cucmVhbG02NjcuY29tL2ZvcnVtL2xldC11cy1rbm93LzIxNDktc29tZS1lcnJvcnMtaW4tdGhlLXJlcG9zaXRvcnk=&Itemid=2662) or [Create an account](https://www.realm667.com/component/users/registration?Itemid=2662) to join the conversation. - **Gothic** - ![Gothic's Avatar](https://www.realm667.com/media/kunena/avatars/resized/size144/users/avatar320.png?1619787674) - Moderator - ![Moderator](https://www.realm667.com/media/kunena/ranks/rank_20_barrel.png) Less More- Posts: 1329 - - - 1 year 11 months ago [\#12469](#12469) by Gothic Replied by *Gothic* on topic *[Some errors in the repository](https://www.realm667.com/forum/let-us-know/2149-some-errors-in-the-repository#12469 "I just downloaded every single file from the Beastiary (for a specific reason, more on that later in another thread) and I noticed a few errors. * Dune Warrior is uploaded twice.
