QRACK v1.80

[Trickle]

lol, I had some fun editing the skins.

[R00k]

yeah, its mad nice. btw, amazing job on the skins! I'm probably going to use the old skins instead though..because I think they look better for Quake and they are more like the original ranger...but this is what I was waiting for! =]

hmm maybe i'll just make a "Ranger" skin for ya cause the old skin pak will not give correct colors...

EDIT: ^^ oh you posted as i was creating this message

[Trickle]

that would be awesome R00k! Prime's new skin is cool and all...but when it comes to classic NetQuake..I have to see the real Ranger!

heres another image

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about! Very nice!

Well my mx518 only can bind 5 buttons, the other 3 are driver set.

Interesting. I only have 5 mouse buttons myself. I suppose I need to get an 8 button mouse sometime.


/Looks like it's time to do teh news again

[R00k]

Ya i was bored and went looking thru TURBOSQUID and found this

and turned it into this


but in-game its too bright and looks flat

[Trickle]

[=peg=]

I think winXP only directly supports 2 extra mouse buttons (XButton1, XButton2) which can be used without any drivers (that would be mouse4, mouse5 in quake).

[Trickle]

hah baker, you posted my modified skin

[LittleMe]

r00k thanks for qrack 1.85! I've noticed one minor quirk/bug. When using your suggested bind sfor "I am at Mound with my RL and 13 rockets" it will not show the weapon type for shotgun or axe. Would you add those please?

Also when there are no loc files, qrack displays the coordinates. Can those be changed to 'unknown location' by default? I don't know anyone who has memorized the coordinates and if they have then they really need to get laid!

[R00k]

Ah but a mice thing I added to Qrack IS that is you HAVE locs and someone else spams their %l bind without a loc file of their own, then YOUR qrack will decypher the message and use THOSE coordinates to output the LOCATIONS described in your .loc file. So, its only present to people without .loc files while still being of use to those who dont , neat huh?

example I dont have mapx.loc but you do, and i press my I am at %l bind, on screen i see the "x y z" coordinates, on your screen though you will see "I am at RED ARMOR"...

[Trickle]

hey R00k, whats the point of player_3? when is that used?

[Trickle]

oh and if anyone wants my modified mix of the old 24-bit ranger and the new skin for Qrack. here ya go!



just either overwrite the old one or make a new pak file.

[R00k]

that looks good! and the proportions look right on. Yellow#5 made something similar just the other day...

player_3.png and player_1.png are used in CRCTF, which uses a player model with 4 skins. 2 for red 2 for blue. 2 and 4 has a visor on the helmet... i just skipped that.

[Trickle]

ohh alright, yeah I noticed the bright green luma as well

[R00k]

ohh alright, yeah I noticed the bright green luma as well

The luma is a leftover from prime's pak. I disabled fullbrights/lumas for player models in 1.85...
