hey guys, ever play a game called Quake III: Revolution for PS2?

its basicly the same as quake 3 arena except the person you play as starts the road to freedom. AND you get cool skins and mutations if you are skilled enough to level up. by the end of the game, the vadrigar free you, and your lookin badass.

yeah i have that

doom, daemia, anarki, klesk and sarge are the heroes you can take through campaign mode

and doom ends up looking really heavily armoured and like you said badass

it's a pity that quake 3 doesn't have that mode

yea i completed dooms campaign a year ago. i completed klesk's campaign yesterday :D

dooms helmet shader is SWEET!!!!! anyone wanna help me make a skin like that?

id like to have a go at it except for one problem

1. i can't skin to save my life

other than that

oh and yeah klesk is dead hard to win with as he starts off really weak

Anyone happen to have screenshots of these final forms?

i might be able to find some if i do i'll post em

While Q3: Revolution is not my favorite port, the RPG-like qualities that they added to it as well as the new gametypes and the inclusion of Team Arena weapons made it pretty fun.

I've tried numerous ways to try and check out the contents of the CD in hopes that I could make a personal copy of the skins and the levels for my own use, but unfortunately, it's some wierd compression format that Bullfrog (I think they're defunct now,) made solely for that game.

hang on i have the cd i'll see what i can do

Yeah they come up in Windows as "security certificates". :?:

I'd love to see the Vadrigar model on the PC game. Not to mention that cool map you fight him in.

That map rocks! ive been looking for something on polycount that even seems REMOTELY simalar to the vadrigar model, no luck :(

ive also been looking for something similar to that final doom skin.

I guess these skins are one of a kind and amazingly droolingy high quality :(

What is an STD file?

if i knew that i could change the format and stuff and make my own copy of the model.

or can we just make these skins? that would be fun too.

well i've looked it up and you need a program called dragon backup to open them

however you have to pay for it as i can't find it anywhere on P2P

well, i found something simalar to the lord of battle doom skin:

Looks kinda like Lord of Battle Doom (http://www.planetquake.com/polycount/skins/quake3/doom/firey/firey.shtml)

i have an idea for skinning the lord of battle skin. we could use the doom statue skin as a base, and then take it from there.

Statue skin (http://www.planetquake.com/polycount/skins/quake3/doom/statue/statue.shtml)

I should point out, I've never SEEN the PS2 quake 3 skins, so unless they're already in q3a, I've got no idea what you're talking about.

Its not in quake 3 arena. it was specifically made for q3revolutions to show that you've progressed from slave, all the way to lord of battle. i'll describe it.

It's basicly a white/silver skin, with a shader to make it shiny. on the helmet, its dark red and theres a laser scanner(which is red) shader moving up and down the helmet visor. it looks friggin badass dude u gotta get that game

All the custom skins in Q3R look badass. Sarge's LoB skin is especially cool.

For Tabun to read:


this lord of battle skin is exactly the same person that mowed down horde after horde of demons. just one difference: he's defeated the vadrigar, and its 3 millenia later.
and besides, it would be cool to have a skin like that for anything. its just plain badass. :rules:

ill try to find some screenies. :P

I think the SDT files contain strictly wave files, but if you want to try, happy hunting. :p

Angst, the best that I could do screenshot wise would be to take a picture of my TV, get it developed, and then scan it in.  Needless to say, I've yet to take a good picture of something on my TV. :p

if we ever do publish this skin then we'll have to give tremendous credit to both bullfrog, and iD software.

Provided id let's you do anything at all.

Uh yeah... I mentioned that I tried to do it for my own personal use.  If somehow you do manage to extract the files, don't go distributing them, that's highly illegal and quite rude furthermore.

If someone, say with a tv tuner card, could snag a screenshot or quick video of the skins in action, they could be recreated (providing they're SKINS, not models) with credit given to the creators. ie: Based on Doom LoB skin by John Q. Public.

Thay're definately skins.

Dammit, where's a working PS2 emulator when you need it?

i alredy gave a description of the skins, and a base to work off of. the statue doom skin.
shall i post the statue again?

where do u get it?

ok i just dled that ps2 emulator and i have no idea how to make it work

... if the PS3 does prove superior to other competitors, i *might* get it and then get that game. Those special options seem interesting... as soon as Sony changes the look of the pad, that is...

I never would have guessed it, but Gamespot has a ton of screenshots of Q3R and a few model renders, albeit not at the greatest quality.  Anywho, here they are...

I'm not sure about the other skins as I have only played through the game with Klesk, but this skin has a shader effect on the eye sockets that makes them glow red.

I love what they did with the wings on her helmet/trophy.

This screenshot will give you a rough idea of what the RPG system is like.  In addition to getting boosts to your stats, each map has specific challenges that you can earn items from.  The items that you earn go into effect immediately at the start of the level.  In Ralph's case, the first time he spawns, he'll have a railgun.

A craptacular shot of the Vadrigar model

I believe this screenshot also shows off the Rocket-Arena-ish gametype that Q3R has, but curiously, you never fight Vadrigar in this manner so maybe that shot is a beta thing.

Ye Gods..

Doom's final skin looks SOMEWHAT like a personal skin of mine, but some of those are horrible :x.

Poor Sarge.. In a horrible teleporter accident, he's been merged with Duke Nukem...

Damn, I could never view pics on Gamespot, for some reason.

Are these screens from the US version? The final Doom skin on my copy looks NOTHING like any of those. It's gold for a start ...

And we get Daemia instead of Hunter for Campaign mode. That skin isn't far off the Jaeger skin:

http://www.planetquake.com/polycount/skins...er/jaeger.shtml (http://www.planetquake.com/polycount/skins/quake3/hunter/jaeger/jaeger.shtml)

That Vadrigar shot is from the first time you fight him. The second time around he's mutated. I think the gametype you refer to is Skirmish where you have to frag an opponent a set number of times before teleporting straight into the next arena. Vadrigar's first appearance is in this mode (that's the screenie here) but the second map you fight him in(Final Resting Place) would rule as a standard tourney map. Shame you can't even use it for that purpose in Q3R. Below are a few shots of the map, but I can't find a decent one of his final form. If you look closely at the second one you might be able to make him out, but I doubt it:

As for the Anarki/Union Jack issue, it's a punk fing, innit?

Q3R also has the Reaper and Mistress models, funnily enough:

http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/action/quake3r...ns.html?page=30 (http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/action/quake3revolution/screens.html?page=30)

D'oh!  Hunter isn't in the Single-player campaign at all.  I wonder why she got the cut.  I've never played through the game with DOOM, but I suspect that you're right.

the Ultimate doom skin looks kinda like the US version.
the grey should be silverish gold and there should be a red laser scanner shader on the helmit visor going up and down

and the last time u fight the vadrigar hes in his true form. hes got wings and crap now.

angst can u model that ultimate doom skin based on what we said about the color?

... huug... from all skins, only Klesh is good, others are very boring (for all other caracthers). Hunter looks kinky B) ... Vadrigar looks like a wingless Uriel or so, or a close relative of StarCraft Protoss race...

I mentioned that game in a previous post. It's a good translation (at least by ps2 standards)
But those screen shots of the DooMer skins just don't seem right for some reason or another.
*shrugg* Maybe cause it's been a while since I've played it. Anyhow, I think the second skin you're awarded is the best in my opinion. The splattered armour is the bomb. The posession mode is  awesome in it also. That's the mode I really wish was in Gen but may be a pain to code on top of everything else.

The DooM skin would be fairly easy to make, just use the statue skin as a base

it's a pitty there isn't screens of the ultimate daemia as she's my fav in the uk version

The ultimate Daemia skin in Q3R is mad looking. She almost looks the the T/X.

does anyone know where one might be able to find skins for Quake 3 (PC)?  especially the doom skin >:D

You're right to think that.  They're incorrect.  I went through DOOM and Daemia's campaigns last night, and I took photos of both the stat screen and the loading screen for each upgrade.  Unfortunately, the pictures came out horribly dark, and the sporkers at Sam's Club didn't develop all of my photos.  I'll see what I can salvage out of them if anything and post it.

If anyone wants to try something like this for themselves, there's a level skip cheat for Q3R.

While holding down L1, L2, R1, R2, and Select, press... X, Circle, Square, Triangle, X, Circle, Square, Triangle, and then release.  If it weren't for the loading times, this would make everything so much faster, but it took me probably about an hour or so to get through one campaign.  (The loading times are seriously that bad.)

Doom Statue is nothing like that ultimate Doom skin, because the former is just a 'stone-ized' version of the normal doom skin:

(http://www.planetquake.com/polycount/skins/quake3/doom/statue/statue-f.jpg)

Frankly, I don't like any of the 'Ultimate' versions, since they are of lesser quality than the originals. It seems like they tried to gear perfectly good skins to some kind of cyberpunk/teenage-gamer wet dream, damaging Scott's original work in the process..

for your doom skins
http://www.planetquake.com/polycount/skins...kin-index.shtml (http://www.planetquake.com/polycount/skins/q3skin-index.shtml)

Tab: Well, it IS a console port.

To be honest, though, I'd be more interested in getting hold of the extra maps. there are a couple includede in the EA and Dreamcast mappacks. but those little Rocket Arena style tourney levels are noweher to be found. Bummer really.

hey!!!

i like the cyberpunk style skins

yeah. the US ultimate doom skin is much better than the UK version. no offence

it doesnt show that much bloody skin

That could be a fair statement, except that I haven't seen a shot of the ultimate Doom skin anywhere on this thread or on Gamespot.

looks like ultimate doom pretty much


Crusher (http://www.planetquake.com/polycount/skins/quake3/doom/crusher/crusher.shtml)

now only if the helmet shader went up and down

Umm...the crusher looks more like a Cylon for Battlestar Galactica. I think I'll stick to my usual model, he just looks so damn sweet!!! (Awesome job whoever skinned him) -The green one with the bloodied arm

I mean I have my favs on Q3R but they pale in comparision to Gen's models  <3

pscx doesnt work well. i need to either get some skinning skill, or take a digital camera picture of my tv.

my digital camera dont work :(

can someone else snag a quick shot of US ultimate doom?
