Packaging for upload

There's really nothing to this part. Anyone who knows how to make pk3 files for Quake 3 map distribution should already know how to create zip archives that have the necessary paths preserved for various files. Just make sure you get everything into the archive:

That's all that is required to create a self-contained package for using the overview(s) you have created. You can then distribute it in that zipfile, or upload it and extract the files from it to make your overview accessible online. The map overviews section of the Threewave manual itself is a perfect example.

If you're going to be distributing your overview for people to download and view offline, test the package yourself to make sure that it works!

You may want to give some thought about providing instructions on how to use your map overview(s), as I did in the index page for the Threewave map overviews. If you want to borrow from the Threewave manual the graphics and tables that illustrate the use of overview pages, go right ahead, but please use them in an overall page design of your own creation, rather than copying the page design from the Threewave manual.
