#922: Look for map models...

I think they keep them separately from their normal quake models.

you could "take" some models from a mod for quake 2 if you really want some.

#924: Hmm...

I just realised - Quake 2 didn't have map models. I mean, there were a couple, but they weren't really a part of the engine the way they are in UT2k3 and Quake 3. You couldn't make new ones without making a game mod. You won't find Q2 map models outside of a TC.

If we get md3 support (some day) you'll be luckier.

Thanks for the tips, I managed to fabricate something from Cube's existing architecture using heightfields and vertex manipulation. Its kind of cheesy but gets the job done.

I think you can convert md3 to md2. Open then Save As in any 3D-editor which supports both should do the trick, no?

it depends...

if the .md3 has more than one skin file, then it's almost impossible.

#928: been wondering about that...

by Pxtl on 04/02/2004 20:57

Is it feasible to do multiple skins in Cube? Not as a by-section, but to overlay? That is - look at the current teamcolour system. Your teammates are blue. Now, improved systems are 1 team = blue, 1 team = red, etc. This has the problem that the red adn blue overlays are kinda ugly. Would it be possible to create a skin with three channels - alpha, saturation, and brightness - and the hue could be set in engine and it overlaid over the normal skin? That way a blue Ogro could be a regular ogro with some blue markings on him, and the blue colour would be engine-controlled in runtime?

I realise this is getting close to shaders - but could it be done with simple texture stuff?

Well, it could be done without shaders - simply by creating a processed copy of each overlay texture for every team. The memory usage would then be the same as for two separate skins, but artist would only have to edit a single one.

But how about team symbols and that kind of things? Your suggestion, if implemented, would make skins for both teams look exactly the same except for the color. When there are two different overlays, some more creative differences could be introduced...

#930: Yes, but here's the idea:

by Pxtl on 04/03/2004 07:27

That way, you don't limit the number of teams. Rather than go relaoding textures all over the place, you just send around a colour value. And you're only limited by the number of colour codes you can think of.

But number of teams is also limited by the code. It's oh-so-much-simplier to code team support for just two teams (say, red/blue), than for unlimited number. I even think somewhere in the docs Aard mentioned that he's gonna rework teamplay so to allow only "red" and "blue" for teams, everyone else is a spectator.

Personnaly I'm grabbing only the single player maps right now. Don't have much time for DMing. One day I'll check a big bunch of DM maps and post comments.

Hello Drakker,
I have (2) SP maps hosted at this site,

http://www.intergate.com/~spentron/guest

If you have'nt played them yet please give them a try. I think they're fun and look pretty good. Thanks in advance.

Already played them both. I dont think I have anything to add to other people's comments. They are good, the second one beign a definite improvement over house of idols.

I would work on lightning a bit, and maybe add some details to the architecture, but its just me beign picky. :) They are fun, thats what matters.

I played them, they look very cool.

About the house of idols:
Music rules, new textures rules but it's a bit too easy, even at skill 10
what hudguns are you using on the screenshots. can we D/L them?

From Mitaman: I'm pretty sure I found the "hudguns" somewhere on this forum doing a search for models. The only one that worked without crashing the game is a ak47. You also need to convert the .pcx textures to .jpg. If anyone really wants I'd be happy to email the weapons.zip file to those that ask. Maybe someone else will have better luck getting the other weapons to work.
