hey also the textures will not work... whats goin on?

if you want to stick them together, you will generally need to edit the models themselves.

DP and FTE engines support some extension that can do it in qc code. Google for the 'q1md3' mod, I think it was. This of course is quite invasive and requires specific mods.
CSQC can also be used in these engines to move the work clientside, and my csqctest mod does that, but its not exactly release quality.

I vaugely recall something about qrack doing the attachments automatically somehow. A quick look at the code reveals that if you set gl_loadq3models, the engine will use 'progs/player/head.md3' 'progs/player/upper.md3' and 'progs/player/lower.md3' instead of the regular player model. It'll also fix up player frames for you too. It doesn't support shaders though, so you're limited somewhat in which player models will still look right (ranger should be fine), and I have no idea what the heck it does about the different scale between the two games.
I've not personally tried it as I'm too lazy, so your milage may vary. Complain at qrack's creator if you have issues (other than the aforementioned textures). *grin*

Other engines might support q3 models, but as far as I'm aware they provide no support for tags at all, which means no player models.

^^ What he said. Though, Qrack does work better with an .md3 player model with out the multiple head-torso-legs, such as moo's player model. It also will support team skins for that model. I tried getting team-skins for the ranger working but got tired from the lack of success. Moo's model though is kinda fubar'd as for the axe frames and death frames. I always found it curious why someone would spend the time to make and animate a model up to 98% then just ditch the project without any means to update. I had converted th emodel to mdl duplicated the working frames, reconverted it back to md3 but now the team skins were broke
Oh well.

edit: found out exporting back to md3 renamed the skin to skin0 so it works but now id have to remap the skin to fit the model

Hello R00k,
OoPpEe wrote in this thread, that he fixed your described axe animation bug in his reworked Moo�s model:

A huge thanks to Moo for the great model. Just needed to fix his axe animation bug.

So if you suggest to use Moo�s .md3 Ranger player model, that reworked version should be just fine I guess.


RangerXT,
This way you do not need to fiddle with model editing, or anything else.
Every engine that supports .md3 can use that model.
As mentioned before, if you want you can also try Ruohis�s player model if you have the time. Then choose which one to use.
Good luck,
Seven

Listen to your console
Your console is your friend.
I call mine Jenny.
Jenny will tell you the exact path for the expected .md3 skin.

lol @ seven ~ "Jenny".

Is it always Jenny, no matter which engine you are using? Cause, I'm thinking Qracks console is more of a Bill or Walter.

i think jenny is for darkplaces, john is for vanilla, billy for qrack, rocky for fte, stephen for tenebrae and lucy for telejano hahahaha

@ Nahuel - "lucy for telejano"

I call my console Jenny, because it reminds me of that girl that I once met:



OK, it was a "not so bad" night, but I had to throw her out of my house because she could not cook...


... isnt it funny, how a small post can change a complete thread ?
Or a new Avatar from splitterface ?


I wonder where this will lead to..
