Hello!
Began to wonder. While working with pk3 structures, how necessary are TEXTURE lumps.
As all the textures and flats work as png files in their corresponding folders even when
without them being defined in a TEXTURE lump.
Is it even necessary?
Thanks in advance.

Nevermind. Wiki clearly states that the lump is only necessary for vanilla projects etc. Modern projects do not require the usage of lumps.

You can define new graphics in textures without the need to be physically present. Power of textures is that it could be used to create new graphics out of existing files.
