Quake Reforged Project

[sb306]

You can't just quit like that.
Give us what you have on the rest of the monsters.
The monsters pack is missing the most crucial ones, and with out them your work is not complete.
You will be hated for the rest of eternity, by the quake comunity.
You have the monsters , it is shown on the screenshots , so give them to us as they are.
You have an obligation to all those people who waited and hoped...

WOW!!!!!

Where are you ?
I knew that something will go wrong.
At least release the ogre and I would be satisfied.

5 posts and 2 of them were damands? 40%.

Now they will NEVER be hated by the community. Yes people will be disappointed but not hated. There is ALOT of work that goes into a skin. See I've made some stuff people liked - and some of the content I worked on for a couple of weeks (work on 4-5 items at once) and my stuff is FAR from their quality. I can easily say the Ogre skin had a few weeks work on it just from the detail I can see in the shots including him.
However saying they have a obligation to release - how? Did you PAY them? They are doing this in their free time, WITHOUT pay or anything. So where's their obligation to do anything? If we had to make a paid membership to access and download the skins - I would agree with your arguement there. However it's free - meaning they can start/finish/cancel/restart whenever they feel like it.
On another note, don't demand a thing. What have YOU contributed to this community? You've been here since "05-13-2010" and I: "10-20-2010". I've seen zero threads started by you. Zero posts helping another member with a issue. Zero posts of you releasing something.
I joined 5 months AFTER you joined and yet I've done more for this community in a single post than you.

indeed, share and share a like, you get what you give, etc...

(in that case I should only get given half-baked rubbbish! but you know what I mean)

oh and the only obligation that the qrp guys have, is to bask in the glory of the sheer volume of awesome work they have created for the community and be proud of the inspiration they have become to all us skinners!

LOL Dont be so hard to yourself osjclatchford

[osjclatchford]

[QUOTE=Nergal;75790]@AAS:

Plan??? Who needs a plan? Textures require bravery and ruthlessness... plans are for p ussies!

To obtain our textures we rush down in the computers' lair, naked and armed only with bare hands.
After smocking them out, we swoop down on those savage beasts, punching their heads until they bleed and eventually surrender;
then we continue to punch them over and over just for fun.
Finally, with our trusty axes we open the computers in half and tier the textures out from the corpses.

Quake Reforged is a misleading title: actually we don't craft skins, we clean them out of the blood and meat still attached..
It's a painstakingly long process, full of risks: computers are fiery beasts and sometimes too much punching causes a violent and explosive anger, so we can't collect skins for a while... but we're unrelenting and we've faith that more punching will bring us to the glory!


...admire our last hunting trophy!!

lol...i could smash you itty bitty ants with a sledge hammer.

talk is cheap when your word means shit.

ive been playing my xbox and havent played quake in a while but if i upload my skin from screenshots then maybe the nerds will have to man up.

[Seven]

That is seanstars unmistakable charm

added a little paper, glue and mixed it with luma, gloss and normals:

@Seven: Is it possible that you upload your skin anywhere? If it is true, and Nergal and Alfader will shutdown their website (whatever the reason is??) i am able to start a mirror copy of the website - if Nergal gives me the permission to do so.

A final full release of the normal monster pack by Nergal and Alfader would be nothing but great, especially because they already have shown us working ones (CHTHON and OGRE). So they would be able to finish their project a little bit...

[Seven]

Its all seanstars work.
The diffuse texture (made by screenshots) is a great idea from him !
Due to the fact that we most probably will never see the real ogre release from Quake Reforged,
this was the only chance to have something in our hands.

My screenshots were made with additional textures (created on the base of seanstar�s).
Mine are everything but good.
I made them in a rush to be able to post at least some screenshots.

Putting more time and effort in them will be necessary.
The grenade launcher in ogres hand is still very bad (even in diffuse),
so we have to paste a grenade launcher from another ogre skin into it.

Kind Regards,
Seven


EDITED:
As all of you know, texture creation is not my strength !
I highly recommend another experienced skinner.
OoPpEe is rushing in my mind
If he is willing to help here, the skin will be really great.
But thats just an idea of course. Nobody will be forced to do anything.
Seanstar himself is of course also more than capable in finishing the job.
He had the great screenshot-idea and it would be very nice to do the extra textures.

Anyway, this is my really bad version from above screenshots: klick me hard

Thanks for posting the link!

I really don�t understand, why Nergal and Alfader don�t release the work they have done so far. Even if there is material that is not ready to release, it would be cool to release it to the community, which is able to continue the work that was started by the project. Hm, nobody knows what the problem is..

I also think that a little statement, why they stop the project, would be nice. Just for us. I hope, Nergal is writing something in this direction.
I also know, there is no need for it, but it would be interesting to know. Nergal, release the rest of the skins, you have them. Complete the work you have started, even if it is uncomplete, so you become immortal!

[Lightning_Hunter]

with this in mind though, I must ask if it would be ok to release my head-gibs I made for shams/demon/zombie/knight/shalrath now?

It seems to me that Nergal stated the license was not "confirmed", and that all the skins were a draft. Based on this statement, we can basically do whatever we want with the skins, as long as we give due credit. I say release the gibs.

[brainstorm]

I am sorry but I am pissed right now.
Damn quiters.
release your material now!

[LambentHammerBurst]

Or learn to do some graphic design yourself - and volia - you got nice skins/models.

[Lightning_Hunter]

I am sorry but I am pissed right now.
Damn quiters.
release your material now!

Wah wah wah. Sob sob.

Go cry to momma and leave us be!

Quake Reforged is cursed!

The other day we announced the definitive cancellation of the project - a joke meant to last about an hour and, since our last post was pretty old, in theory unseen by the majority of you … …

After a long period we’ve finally found a moment to check the files together, finding relief too because it’s insane to have the content ready (since August) but no time at all

We had the will, the time and the content, ignoring that the only thing we really needed was luck..

Thanks to Dreamweaver refusing to work, not the day before or the day after, but the very same day we scheduled, now we’re here to ask for another bit of patience.

We’re really pissed off for such irritating complications and now eager than before to release our first pack of skins.

Your sensible reactions show again that you’re a fantastic community, but we can’t continue to abuse of your indulgence. We hope to compensate releasing also the skins for Scourge of Armagon (ready since July )



P.S. As stated before, we don't bother about you creating skins from our screenshots, but we only suggest to open a proper thread for them
