[[3DGE]] organizes the lumps in several '''namespaces''' which correspond to different types of lumps. This allows to avoid conflicts if several lumps have the same name, but one is, for example, a texture while the other is a sound.

Lumps belong to a namespace or another depending on where they are in the archive. The [[archive format]] matters: in sequential archives (such as WAD files), they are delimited by marker lumps; in hierarchized archives, they are in a specific directory.

3DGE uses the following lump namespaces:

{| {{Prettytable}}
! Namespace !! Markers !! Directory !! Notes
|-
| Global || Outside of markers || /root/ || Recurse root subdirectory to TopLevel
|-
| [[scripts]] || No specific markers || /scripts/ || Text files or WAD Lumps of scripts
|-
| [[Sprite]]s || S_ or SS_ || /Sprites/ || Lumps are added to the Sprite image type.
|-
| [[Flat]]s || F_ or FF_ || /Flats/ || Lumps are added to the Flat image type.
|-
| Colormaps || C_ || /Colormaps/ || Optional
|-
| [[ACS]] [[Libraries]] || A_ || /ACS/ || "not supported yet"
|-
| [[Texture]]s || TX_, HI_ || /Textures/, /Hires/ || Lumps are added to the Override image type.
|-
| [[Strife]] voices || V_ || /Voices/ || Lumps are automatically assigned svox/<lumpname> as a [[SNDINFO]] logical name allowing them to be referenced directly in [[DIALOGUE]] scripts.
|-
| Hi-Res || HI_ || /HiRes/
|-
| Sounds || No specific markers || /Sounds/
|-
| [[Patch]]es || No specific markers || /Patches/ || Lumps are added to the Wall Patch image type. While not used by the engine, P_ or PP_ markers are often used anyway.
|-
| Graphics || No specific markers || /Graphics/ || Lumps are added to the Misc Patch image type. The Doom alpha and beta used the L_ marker here.
|-
| Maps || No specific markers || /maps/ || Lumps are added to Levels.DDF (MAPXX, or EXMX)
|-
| Music || No specific markers || /Music/
|-
| [[skins]] || N/A || N/A || Different from [[ZDoom]]'s convention; these are to contain ONLY 3D [[model]] skins (image format must be PNG, JPG, or TGA), and also supports a subdirectory, containing "/normals", and "/spec", for normal and specular mapping support.
|-
| [[Voxel]]s || VX_ || /Voxels/ || ''Not yet supported''
