This won't work for the single fact that Quake pak files are restricted to 8.3 filenames. :|

Do you have a link about that? I can't find anything that explains PAK restrictions.
Testing it I didn't have any trouble packing or using long-named files, so maybe it's an engine restriction; FTE even showed the levelshot in its list.

Huh, I was wrong because I edited the Quake Wiki wrong 10 years ago. It's actually 55/56 characters (for the file's whole path inside the PAK): https://quakewiki.org/wiki/PAK_file
