I've tried everything

Running Joequake 0.15dev from d/l section here

Trying to use 7-hud set, I used forum search and found some lengthy talk, tried to follow it and to no avail.
Right now I have joequake/gfx <--7-hud unzipped into that location
That didn't work
I tried to make a pak2 and put it in the joequake folder////joequake/pak0,pak1,pak2
Inside pak2: textures/wad/yellow8's pngs
Still didn't work
Tried to do the exact same thing in the id1 folder
(make a gfx dir, make a textures/wad dir, put a pak2 in there, yada yada)

And I was looking inside the joequake pak1 textures/wad and those aren't even loading, I'm only getting default ID skins??
The joequake pak1/progs models load fine but pak1/textures/wad do not

please help...

Put them into C:\quake\joequake\textures\wad and it should work.

[Alothrysis]

nope.

created dir that you said and did 3 seperate things and none of them workd.

1.--created textures/wad/unzipped into here,didn't work
2.--' ' extracted yellows folder only, didn't work
3.--' ' extracted <b>contents</b> of yellows folder, didn't work

Frown...

Pick one of the pak2.pak files from the following in put it into c:\quake\joequake

http://www.quake-1.com/files/texture...sets-qrack.zip

It needs to be sequentially the last pakx.pak in c:\quake\joequake so if you do not have a pak1.pak in c:\quake\joequake then you will need to rename the pak2 to pak1.

Let me know if it works.

[Alothrysis]

nope.

I also went back and uninstalled/reinstalled joequake

still a nope

note: do I have to use gl-joequake to use this? if so I'll go feel sorry for myself in the corner with my shitty computer

[Baker]

Yeah, unfortunately. Only GL clients as a general rule support HUD replacement graphics.

But you can try this one if you wish, it will work with software renderers (the non-OpenGL engines like joequake.exe).

Here is another universal HUD that would work with regular joequake.exe:

[Alothrysis]

Yeah!

Thank you

So in theory then, if I had something to edit .wad files with I could make my own? Programs?

[Baker]

There is only a gfx.wad file in the pak, but I haven't known a WAD editor that edits gfx.wad properly (but the only WAD editor I use is TexMex).

You can edit a HUD in gfx.wad with Adquedit, it isn't the easiest thing on earth to do but I've done it several times.

You have to work within the Quake palette and color 255 is transparent. It is a lot easier making 24-bit replacement graphics like the ones you aren't able to use because there are less constraints.

[Alothrysis]

I see what you mean...

But thanks
