yes, it includes additional game-data like maps and new grafics.
pk3 is a renamed zip, that follows a strict rule how the folders inside it are named.
Similar to dotpups.
But you don't unzip/install a .pk3, this is done automatically at runtime by the game itself.

To play a Doom-engine, you usually need doom.wad from the shareware or full version.
And sometimes as here, another .wad or .pk3 with engine-specific addons.

Thank you for the .pet for gpredict. I downloaded, double clicked on the package and received a message saying it was installed.

Restarted X server as specified then Menu>Utility>gpredict

Nothing, zip, zilch.

Found gpredict in /usr/bin but again nothing.

Where to from here?

[muggins]

Probably some missing library. Two questions. If you open a console, (Menu->Utility-Rxvt), & enter the following 2 commands, what responses do you get?

@Mercedes350se,

I've re-uploaded gpredict, compiled on pup3.01.

@ muggins

Thank you for compiling for 3.01.

Bear in mind this is all a learning curve for me so, given that I have files from the previous compilation throughout my machine, do I have to remove them - in their entirety - just remove the .pet download, or what before downloading the 3.01 version?

[muggins]

This version will just overwrite the previous one. I think the package manager should give you a warning that it's already installed though.

[Mercedes350se]

@ muggins,

Downloaded and installed. Thank you.

Shadow,

I know we deviated from your question, with the gpredict diversion, but you never answered my question as to whether the file st-v097d_linux-base.tar.bz2 contained skulltag.pk3?

Until your post I'd never heard of skulltag! Anyway, I downloaded the linux-base.tar.bz2, (despite measly dialup), extracted it to the same folder as skulltag, so it now contains:

skulltag, skulltag.pk3, skulltag-server & skulltag.wad.

I'd previously, (as mentioned before), downloaded libfmod, and extracted to /usr/lib. Now if I run ./skulltag I get:

Here you go:
