Hullo all,
I recently came across my old Q1 CD whilst cleaning out my flat, and decided to get it up and running again for old times' sake.
Anyway, I've been playing around with some of the modern texture/model remakes, and am currently using DarkPlaces with pretty water and the QRP map, item & normal map textures, but no replacement models or monster textures. I tried Rygel's high-quality pack (which includes several new viewmodels), and several of the monsters from Reforged, but they were too colourful and differed too much from the originals for my taste. I even turned off real-time world lighting not for the FPS gain, but because I prefer the look and feel of the original static lightmaps 
Of course, as anyone still using the original weapon viewmodels knows, the muzzle flashes on the shotgun and nailgun look horrible when interpolated. Is there a setting in DarkPlaces which fixes this, or a pak with original viewmodels tweaked for interpolation? (I'm sure I had such a pak a few years ago, but I sure as hell can't find one now...)
On a semi-related note, does anyone know of any updated monster skins/models which are more faithful to the originals than the stuff on Reforged? The textures there look fantastic in isolation, but far too shiny and colourful when used in game....
