Darkplaces questions

[BoylerBoi]

Hi. I'm playing Quake since I was 13, this was 1996. Now, I want to play Quake with the Darkplaces engine on my Mac. I already downloaded the engine and the texture pack. But I want my Quake looks like this:
screenshot! What have I to do?

Is the Mac the problem?

I'll try not to be crass about gaming on a Mac, since we all seem to have varied opinions on the matter.

Read through the cvars on LordHavoc's site for more detailed information on shadows and lighting. You can access a lot of that from your Options menu under Customize Effects and Customize Lighting. There are also rtlights available on that site for Quake. That should get you a little closer to that screenshot with the texture packs installed.

I'm not sure whose weapon models those are, or the ejecting brass. Someone should be able to point you in the right direction....

[BoylerBoi]

Lights and shadows are already configured. But I want these weapon models and all the other models, like ammo packs and armor!!!

One of the best weapon models I saw were from moondrunk. As for the powerups, Ezepov has great looking/faithful pack. But textures from quake remodel project are very nice too.
Btw, pity there is no good web search engine. Google, yeah, that could be a good name for it, could save you time, maybe one day such search engine will be a reality.

Thanks. If you're only using Google, forums like these were not so much used ...

Edit: I downloaded the models, but nothing works. I dont know where to copy the files or should i make a .pk3?

There is a stupid problem: my models are like this:



What made I wrong? Weapons, health packs und ammo are nice, but the backpacks and the armor are in the old style!

Edit: Problem solved. I forgot the paste the Objects.pk3. But now, there is a new problem: I've got no rocket- and grenade trails anymore!!

BoylerBoi,

why you ask the same question again ?
Look here and find the answer. You already solved your issue with the trails 2 days ago.

If I remove the grenade.mdl und missile.mdl from the Objects.pk3, the armor und the backpacks looking like in the normal Quake, again. Why? I want the eye-candy grenades and missiles AND the trails! Please help me! I don't understand setting the flag to 1...

Edit: It works now! I needed a special program to open the .pk3-file (on Mac). Now the trail is ok and the models, too.

Now there's only one more question: how can I convert the .link-files in the .pk3 from the retexturing-project into .tga? Or could you upload these converted files for me?
