Quake pk3s for Dummies - My quake

[LambentHammerBurst]

Darkplaces uses a different way for the texture naming.
Try renaming the textures to:
flame.mdl_0.png
and
flame2.mdl_0.png

and make sure they are in the progs folder.

Thanks for sharing this. I was actually missing the explosive barrel textures from the objects.pk3
Used and I did a quick model for it as the standard rectangle just wasn't cutting it anymore. Uses the texture too. Hopefully will be released soon

Is there any chance we could get a pk3 for skyboxes?

[Bloodbat]

There is, I think an error on the \scripts\reforged.shader file that causes the tarbaby (Spawn) not to be skinned, it's easily fixed, though.
Line 216 of said file
change
map progs/tarbabyh.mdl_0.tga
to
map progs/tarbaby.mdl_0.tga

Enjoy

That would be nice

@ sb306 + inkub0,

Your search is over

Here is a great compilation of skyboxes.
golden_boy recommended this page in the Hexen2 thread.
Download Link is on top of that page.

Thanks again gb for this link.

Kind Regards,

Is a skybox something other then the moving skies in quake?

[Seven]

Yes, a skybox is a real box with 6 sides.
Each side has a texture. The box is static.

Pros:
Can be any texture you want, therefore much more beautiful
Cons:
Its static (Not moving)

[grave_digga]

Well then i stick with the moving skies, only 2 but moving.

QRP-NormalMaps link is broken. I found a mirror here.

It's a large download though, and I'm not sure what this is. Is there a description for it?

[LambentHammerBurst]

It's normal maps for the textures in Quake. Similar to "Bumpmaps" just better.

[Seven]

Thank you lophat for mentioning it.
To see what normal textures can do, I made a small comparism a few days ago: here
Or see some more beauties at QRP�s screenshots page (scroll very down): here
All you need is an advanced engine that can handle normal textures; like DarkPlaces.
To activate the effect type this in your console:
set r_glsl_offsetmapping 1


@ inkub0

Moon[Drunk] updated the complete QRP homepage.
Therefore the link in your first post is dead now.
Anyway, you should never post a direct link

Please post the link to QRP Download page:
:: Quake Revitalization Project :: Downloads ::

Important:
As long as inkub0 did not update his textures pack (to V1.00),
all users who use inkub0�s .pk3 textures file must download:
2009-12-23 Normal map texture pack (Beta)
And not the newest one (V1.00), cause we dont know yet if there will be issues / mismatches.

Kind Regards,
Seven

HEY!
let's create a project for 2011!

We can see that, nowadays, we have all the quake1 contents in High Definition. Monsters (reforged), Textures (QRP and Rygel), Normals, Weapons, Skies, objects....

In this thread i created my "vision of quake" in PK3 packages but... there are many variations! So...

Why dont create an installer executable that finds the quake1 folder and automatically installs packages? It may be come with a menu with many choices (example: QRP or RYGEL textures; new models weapons or only new skins, highpoly monsters or Reforged skins... and so on. I think that will bring Quake to more accurate user-customization!
I cant use programming languages (i'm a donkey in C#) but i think that somebody can do it. We have the material already.
We need only a powerful installer tool!
(and hopefully all opensource content, to develop it for free!)

[metchsteekle]

i think 7-zip can make installers but im not sure, at all as i never had to make one

i think hondo bondo uses it (7-zip) for sdq because all his installetrs have a [7z] symbol for the image

also baker makes them alot so he will possibly know,,.;;.,''/
