Quake Reforged Project

@AAS: We 're aware that good remakes for weapons and crates already exist, in fact we use them^ In the Armory page we listed all the missing ones from the expansion packs.
A good idea might be to have the original icon change when you pass over with the cursor, just to improve usuability, but it's a temporary issue, self resolved when all the material will be uploaded on the website.

Twitter: I'll continue to avoid using it, 'cause it continues to show me the same error again and again. No time to play with shit services.

I've tweaked the zombie a bit.

Awesome Nergal!! But you didn�t need to improve the skins, the skins are awesome as they are!


Dear Nergal! Every day since the tier release pics a few days ago i am sitting in front of my computer, open your website and hit F5 again, again, and again, again and once more an again and again, cause you wrote, you will release them the night. Now i am still waiting

Please upload your work!! I hardly can�t wait any more!! Please make this a weekend we always think back and remember it! Please.....

Ok, there are faithful ammoboxes textures ( QuakeWorld GFX - Textures / Ezepov's bmodels ), but what about weapons? All packs i seen are unfished/haven't all g_* or v_* textures (primevil, [moon]drunk, etc), rest are plain ugly (sorry, plague).

I just want full&finished beauty faithful weapons for the best game ever, dammit! >_<

Hi AAS,

i am sure, that the REFORGER will release it, i think that is Alfader�s part of the show.

Wow, those new graphics looks really nice! I like the new Dark Knight look, I think he's even more badass than before!!! (btw, I think blood constantly flowing down his mouth was a bit too much... new torso owns). Nice to see new graphics for quake that match the original feel of the game. However, there is one model that doesn't quite fit the orignal one (in my opinion) : the grunt. While the enforcer (v.1) seems perfect to me, why does the grunt have to look like a green soldier? I can't deny I still like the model (and it looks way better with the new face) but I suggest you make another version that has the same color patterns and overall feel as quake's orginal grunt.

When I think of the old grunt, I imagine a brainwashed humanoid that has fought for too long, hardly breathing, making that "throat pain sound" that freaks the hell out of you. Mutilated torso (almost perforated lungs?...), scars in the face, torn out dirty armor... Not a clean suit army guy in green camouflage. Ah, and don't forget, arms and chest naked (or chest = rags maybe). To me, the Enforcer is closer to that idea of a clean disciplined army guy, if you know what I mean...

Btw, can't wait for the next release!! Quake Reforged is gonna kick ass.

YES! That zombie is perfect!

Well, we don't feel the urge to label us with a specific role, in fact we also started using a single account for both of us here at Quakeone.com

@AAS:
No, no, those are not the skins nor the models we're using. We already uploaded lava ammo box for the nailgun, take a look

@TR2N:
I dont like to bother you all with annoying details, but it's a pain in the arse predicting a date and then having issues coming up

@Nova_77:
hehe you're right, we overboarded with the "power of shader" in our hands^
The honor is now reserved only to Shub and Chton
For the grunt we're also creating a skin similar to the enforcer, but we presented only this one to rush faster toward a first full release.

What about Ruohis' models?

@ AAS

You ask for better looking weapon skins.
Well there are a lot of very good looking ones out there.
The only problem is: Many Quake 1 sites are dying slowly...
Many jewels out there get lost. 40% of my Quake-Links from 2007 are dead.
Also Ruohis site (who makes very beautiful weapon skins) http://www.kolumbus.fi/ruohis is not reachable.
All his Links from his Forums direct you there.
Good Luck, I downloaded them in the past.

If you want to quickly (without spending too much time in searching) good Weapon skins:
Go ahead and download Rygels High Resolution Pack (900 MB).
Inside there are very nice looking Skins + Models (v_xxx and g_xxx).
Unfortunately the g_models are not spinning like they should do.
Editing them and setting the flag to "4" does the trick and they will spin again.

You will have a good start with those skins/models !
If you want even better ones, it will take you a lot of time, searching the internet.

Best regards,
Seven

Those are the ones I am using currently:

Ruohis models used to be hosted here: ??????.?????

Well, I don't speak Russian, but it seems that the file is gone. At least, I couldn't download it.

But there is a pack made by a Brazilian quaker that, I believe, contains all Ruohis' models, among other things. Dowload it here: http://shub-hub.com/files/gfx/QBX_Pack_v1.7z

[AAS]

Thank you guys, DLing rygel's and QBX's packs in hope of new models/textures.

@Negral
Those ones are just screenshots.
But anyway, as i understood there is no plan for retexturing of weapons, that's sad.

@luizera
Heh, that archive was uploaded by me a year ago.
The problem is that some ruohis's models are A+ class (axe,ng,sng,lg) and others aren't.
RL and GL feels unnatural (not a part of pack or smth) for me. SSG is ugly as hell.

Now i solved my problem by mixing primevil's and ruohis' weapons versions, best solution ATM.

[metchsteekle]

I also felt that the rl and ssg looked odd and didn't quite fit well with the rest of ruohis's stuff.

[hellfireseb]

Hey guys, I was just wondering if it's normal that there is no download link in the bestiary for the knight, hell knight and ogre or if you're just reworking them?
Thanks a lot for the great work, awesome models for an awesome game!

[Nova_77]

Talking about weapon models... I was wondering if it could be possible to add a fire particle effect to the guns when shooting. I know q1 old models used ugly "fire" polygons, but maybe DarkPlaces could handle it??
