ezQuake Manual: Link files

Some words abount .link file. This is a plaintext file containing the name of the texture (can contain path and must contain extention). For example if some_texture.link contain TFcommon/blue_wall.tga line, then loading some_texture will load blue_wall.tga from the indicated directory. This can eliminate texture duplication and allows meaningful naming of textures.

Example:
http://2wp.vei.ru/files/textures/textures.rar
A pack with textures for 'russian' TF maps. All duplicate textures replaced with .link files (it save about 30% space!).

.link files work only from paks.
