Hi,
I've been trying to search for the description of the quake1 .pak file, and also for the .bsp.
Quake3 .pak decompresses fine with winzip, but I can't figure out how to decompress quake1 's .pak.
I'm also looking for the complete description of the .bsp file, so that I can load the right polys and sort them.

Help will be very much appreciated.

Ah, I remember this years ago. Try the WinPak utility. After a quick Google search, I found this site:

http://www.planetquake.com/retroquake/vis_water.htm

winpak.exe is included in the QuakeVISUtils.zip file provided on that page.
