High-res reskins for classic mods...

[osjclatchford]

hmm, looks like they used a lot of q2 textures for this mod...

if you can get the original model from the pack (using qpak) you can extract the skin (using qme).
then edit it away in the art program of your choice.

besides, this would not be an ideal project for me, as weapons and object textures are my thing, not charecters...
I would really like to see more art from other artists than myself in this thread anyway!

[DaniOcampo1992]

Well, it's a 300mb .pak file, I'll try to find it..

[osjclatchford]

ooh, 300mb file, when was this made, again?
I'm started to get quite interested now, any new guns 'n' stuff involved ?

I took this from the readme:

IV: YOUR NEW ENVIRONMENT


A. Firepower

Sword

Hey, something new to look at.

Shotgun
The basic gun, to which all other guns compare favorably.

Double-barrelled Shotgun
A worthy weapon with three minor drawbacks: first, it uses up 2 shells
per blast; second, it's slow; third, its shot pattern is very loose at
long range. But in general, once you find this puppy, the other shotgun
starts rusting from disuse.

Nailgun
A two-barrel dingus that prickles bad guys with armor-piercing darts,
technically termed "nails".

Supernailgun
The great equalizer. Four cyclic barrels that hose out spikes like
crazy. Pro: foes drop like flies. Con: eats ammo like popcorn.

Grenade Launcher
Thumps neat exploding bombs into the air. You can even bounce a grenade
off the wall or floor.. When a grenade hits someone, it explodes.
If it misses, the bomb sits on the floor for a moment, then explodes.

Rocket Launcher
For when a grenade positively, absolutely, has to be there on time.

Thunderbolt
Try it. You'll like it. Use the same technique as watering your
rosebush.

Autoshotgun(Tsemochian Autoshotgun)
High speed shotgun from Hell. You haven't lived until you've
hosed down some baddies with this. Just don't get carried away,
it eats ammo like its going out of style.

Sprocket Launcher(Tsemochian Sprocket)
Crossbreed a spear, a rocket, and a grenade and you might end
up with a Tsemochian sprocket. This weapon takes some getting
used to, but after a while, you'll feel nekkid without it.

You have to test the game, you'll absolutly love it!
I'll watch the whole "Seal of Nehahra" movie before playing it again..

I found jack torres' model, here's the skin..


Looks too different from quake reforged and other HD skins because this is separated in parts.. :S

[osjclatchford]

so, three then... do they have new models or are hey just alternative skins?

[DaniOcampo1992]

No, they're all the original ones, that's why I wanna know if I can replace their skins with others as Quake Reforged ones..

Sorry for my s**tty english.. ^^'

[LambentHammerBurst]

Judging by their skin file from what was posted using a Reforged texture inplace of theirs - not possible. If they however share the same animations and animation order - we could replace their model with the standard player model and then apply Reforged's texture onto it.

[IronWarfare]

Since Nehahra and many other Quake 1 mods use Quake 2 textures, is possible to import high quality Q2 textures like for example those of Quake 2 Evolved/Quake2 Berserker?

yes but may need cutting/resizing/general tweaking for light levels etc...

@danio
the 'three' I was refering to was the new weapons; sword, autoshotgun and sprocketlauncher, I assume the sword is a new model but what of the autoshotgun and SL? just wondered if they are new models or borrowed original quake models but with new skins? (and when I say new I mean 'new' when the mod was made not today!)

No, they're are all new..
Here are some pics for you
The sword:


The Sprocket:


The Autoshotgun

[osjclatchford]

hmm... the sword is ok but the others look pretty rough don't they...

[LambentHammerBurst]

The sword has the worst textures. However doing it should be easy. Make a basic polished steel texture - then apply a semi-strong gloss texture to it for that shining look and done.

[DaniOcampo1992]

A new sword model should be great.. :')

I find a sword pack, and then a rendered it on blender:


The model can be downloaded here..

I like the 1st and the 3rd one, but this maybe with a reskin..

[osjclatchford]

to be honest the sword model looks fine as it is, it's just needing a new skin.
I'll can always give it a shot if you send me the classic v_model.
I'd get it myself but theres no way in hell I'm waiting for a 300mb dl for one little .mdl file...

[DaniOcampo1992]

I'll be lookin' for it!

Edit:
I think this is it latchford:
