mediapacks are already part of v1104.
mediapacks contain a number of files. these can be textures and/or models and/or maps and/or txt|cfg|..-files ... just one group or, if a map requires models - for example - then those too, but if these models already come in another mediapack then it won't be listed as a requirement.
you see, they build up on one another.
you have pak-#3207 and that's great .. then someone has done something that requires pak-#4410 and pak-#4412 .. you get the output, you download, you unpack, you restart the map .. (the latter bit was mainly out-of-the-game-doing-it-yourself) .. and then you can keep on playing.
If you then build a map with textures used that occur in pak-#4410 and pak-#3207 then those two will be in the header of your map .. if you see, we've currently omitted any textures from pak-#4412 .. the 3rd-party won't need it for that map.
Do you get it now?
