So, Rook: How do I fix the white, missing gun model when I use your 24-bit player texture pak?

[naustic]

One observation when using a 24-bit player model is when a player uses lightning gun, you can see lightning come out from the back of the player. Is this suppose to happen?

Here's a better player pak, just rename it to +1 higher than the highest numbered .pak in your "/qrack/" folder...

http://www.quakeone.com/qrack/dist/md3player.pak

I cant remember who made the model shame on me, (i think it might be MoonDrunk), the model is perfectly synced to the original player model but missing AXE attack frame groups so it wigs when u axe

The lightning bolt origin is set in the quakeC mod x(0), y(16), z(22), so either its latency or bug.

Rook,
Thanks for posting that model. I gave it a tried, and I ran into the very issue you described. However, I downloaded moo's player model (http://www.quake-1.com/files/replace..._player_md3.7z), and it appears to be working fully. This success supports that Qrack is by far the most superior Net Quake client for competitive play. I decided that I can play with reduced fps for some additional eye candy. The images below are now what I consider my baseline configuration for Quake.

Cheers,
Naustic

Someone had asked what I had to do to get everything working. Here's a quick tutorial:

1. Go download qrack from
http://www.quakeone.com/qrack/qrack190.zip

If you are interested, I'm using qrack from http://www.quakeone.com/qrack/qrack201.zip, but its beta.

2. Go download the available 24-bit player model pak from
http://www.quakeone.com/qrack/pakX.zip

Unzip this into c:\quake\qrack
Rename pakX.pak to pak1.pak

So, now you should have pak0.pak and pak1.pak in \qrack\

3. Download Rygel's 'Ultra' hi-res texture pack (parts 1-3) from:
Games On Net File Library :: Quake - Mods

Rygel's 'Ultra' hi-res texture pack for LordHavoc's 'DarkPlaces' Quake mod Part 1
Rygel's 'Ultra' hi-res texture pack for LordHavoc's 'DarkPlaces' Quake mod Part 2
Rygel's 'Ultra' hi-res texture pack for LordHavoc's 'DarkPlaces' Quake mod Part 3

Be sure to download all three parts. You will need all three files to unarchieve the content. I use 7z (google for 7z) for this. You will unarchieve rygel-dp-texturepack-ultra.pk3. Now use 7z again to unarchieve the content within rygel-dp-texturepack-ultra.pk3 into c:\quake\qrack\

4. Download Moos' player model from
http://www.quake-1.com/files/replace..._player_md3.7z

Once you open mOOs_player_md3.7z, you will see player_skin.rar, player.zip, and player_beta02.zip. I am using the player_beta02.zip. Unzip player_beta02.zip into c:\quake\qrack\.

5. Make sure you have the following commands set in qrack console or in your config file:

gl_externaltextures_bmodels 1 //load external 24-bit bsp models
gl_externaltextures_models 1 //load external 24-bit models
gl_externaltextures_world 1 //load external 24-bit world models
gl_loadq3models 1 //load external 24-bit player models
cl_teamskin 1 //use colors from team on player model

6. If you are interested in doing some more customization, then I would visit the QuakeWorld GFX website:
http://gfx.quakeworld.nu/

They have many graphics that you can replace the originals with. For instance, I have replaced the charset (console text), hud weapon models, crosshair, and simple items.

Now, if you want your qrack to look exactly like the screenshots, then I'd recommend looking at the config I had posted earlier. This will help those of you who is transiting from proquake (with respect to lighting, etc).

BTW, thanks to Rook and the rest of the gang for helping me with this earlier.

Good luck, and let me know if you have any questions.
