not good dude.
working with pk3s is a sinch.... heres what to do.

open the winrar program via start menu and got into options/prefences. change it so the default archive it creates is a zip rather than a rar. also set compression to max blah blah blah.

to create a mod get hold of the EA pk3 like you are doing. browse through the insides of it using winrar but when you fin what you want to edit like p38.tik select it and choose to extract it to your desktop with full path. edit only the extracted file never the original files. after you have finished you can go to your desktop and select the top level directory and choose 'add to zip'. now rename dektop.zip to user-mymod.pk3 and you have a working mod that you can FTP to your server or whatever.

means that when you dont want to use that mod anymore you can just delete/move it rather than edit the changes back out.

suggest you replace the EA pk3s that youve already edited with unaltered ones from another install location.
