Hello. I'm sort of new to this mod, but not new to the Quake 3 engine.
I have a suggestion/question.
Is it possible to change the file system in the next release to use PK3 files? It makes things much simpler when adding addons as well as other files.
Not sure if this was already brought up, or if it differs from other Quake 3 engine games.

It just doesn't seem to be organized that way. at least with the one I downloaded.

There's actually been some pretty verbose debates with choosing to use (or not use) PK3 files. The folder structures are primarily kept because it's MUCH easier to modify files on the fly rather than doing so from an archive. Not only this, but version control management of PK3 files would be cumbersome and difficult.
Since ZEQ2-lite initially intended to use Subversion as it's primary means of distribution and updates, zipping the files up into a PK3 didn't seem nearly as effective due to the aforementioned shortcomings.
If the project (at this stage) was a standard Quake 3 mod where the overall goal was playing it as a "game", I'd understand and respect your request; however, the overall ambition of the first release was to expose the many custom configuration files (phys, psys, grfx, tier, etc.) so that users can dabble and develop their own creations more easily without having to continually pack, repack, and destroy PK3 version compatibility at a rapid rate.
If you care to offer your own solutions and practical side of things, consideration will be taken to altering this in a future release.

Once everything is in a final state, I guess it's not a bad idea to turn everything into pk3's. As of yet it doesn't make much sense.
