The readme sounds a little strange, apart from spelling mistakes.

At a first glance it seems like you included some unneccessary files within the pk3s. The levelshots don't have the right resolution. You should not use "!" in paths. Most textures are way too large. There's a Thumbs.db Smile

Like I said befor my english is not so good and this is why I learned mapping on a german page for Return to Castle Wolfenstein. But mapping for sg is a little bit different form mapping in Return to Castle Wolfenstein. So please tell me which files i need and which I don't need.

After taking a look at the original SG levelshots I've noticed they are either in 512x512 or 1024x768. Iirc a power of two is better, thus 512x512. Anything above is certainly a waste of space.

The exclamation mark in the sound folder is what caught my attention. It surely works, but it is not good practice to use special chars in paths.

textures/sanjuanico_water/Thumbs.db

You don't need .bak, .prt, .srf. Those are created temporarily while compiling but not needed for the map to work.

Yes 1024x768 are resized to 1024x512 by q3engine at loading, so this is a waste of space AND quality (because q3engine does not resize it with a decent algorythm just like the one you found in photoshop or gimp : bicubic).

That's why in the past I wrote this tutorial :
http://sgq3-mapping.blogspot.com/2008/12/power-of-2-sized-textures.html

However, you can use texture larger than 512x512, for example most of time your main ground texture may cover really big open space, so a 512x512 will not produce good-looking result. You have to use a 1024x1024 one instead.
