PK3 Loading Rules

While JK2MV mostly loads and processes pk3 files just like standard JK2 versions, there are some exceptions to not trigger crashes. You can just ignore this page in case your mod is no code-mod as everything else behaves exactly like it did in standard JK2.

VM's (cgame.qvm, jk2mpgame.qvm and ui.qvm) in pk3's are ignored and not loaded if you don't specify on which version they work.

There are two ways to specify the compatibility:

File Prefixes

Supported by: All JK2MV versions

Name your file like that: o102_mymod.pk3 or o104_clientside.pk3. The 'o' in o102_ means "only".
Supported are o102_, o103_ and o104_.

mv.info File

Supported by: JK2MV 1.2 and newer

Create a file called mv.info in the root directory of your pk3 file.
The file should just contain a single line like:
compatible 1.02
or
compatible 1.03
or
compatible 1.04
or even
compatible all (only useful for mods based on the mvsdk)

The compatibility specified in mv.info overwrites file prefixes!
