nice, you all know which model i'll be using for doom then now

yup had a fiddle and well, it doesn't work  

anybody fancy showing me how i could fix this ?, as it would be cool to have the old spider brain back

yes any outside files, but if the file is on the server - it's deemed pure and clients can use it.

What if a client does not have the given file? Remember pure server not only prohibits outside pk3's but doen't let the client join unless they have the server's pk3's as well.

I don't really see the problem/point myself.

I've made a pk3 that you can smack into your baseq3 dir. without any adjustments nescessary.
It will then:
a) work in Q3
b) work in Generations, for the Slipgate class
c) will (currently) not be visible on pure servers

That's all there is to it. No hacking, tweaking or discussing is needed or helpful here.. What's more interesting, and more on-topic is the following:
d) it has no real sounds yet, so again, if you feel up to the task, give it a go, and
e) there will be another release later, hopefully with the aforementioned sounds, but also with some modifications to the animations, where they still show some bugs.

Ehr, sure, that'd be nice :]

great :]
it's comin' to life  

Botfilez yay!
Great model tabs, I'll try to find some time to whip up some sounds for this lad.

Excellent job as always Tab. Although, I always thought the zombies in Quake were supposed to be just like Ranger, but with beige-white uniforms and blood stains. Oh wait, now I remember there were some 'super zombies' that were bigger than the regular grunts- that must be what the enforcers were. Now that I remember that, it seems like you did a good job differenciating the enforcers from the regular grunts (although a grunt skin for the Ranger model would still be cool).


Ironically, Phoenix, that decision actually does a good job of combining the original Doom plasma rifle design with the Doom 64 plasma rifle design (which features lots of electric glowing stuff). It's funny cause I know you didn't like Doom 64 at all. Well, good job anyway.

And I have to agree, that other plasma rifle model looks totally wrong. The plasma rifle is an energy weapon, not an assault rifle. It feeds from battery cells, not NATO 5.56mm STANAG magazines. It clearly has no need for a bullpup configuration either since it doesn't work by normal projectile ballistics. The aimpoint looks like it ripped off of an airsoft P90 and glued on.

Hmm, this is a bit off topic so I'll be short, but you might fancy taking a look at the Doom 64 TC for doom 2 if you weren't really satisfied with the emulated version. I've never actually played it on the n64, but the TC did surprise me with its quality. It's even got the backing of two of the original team members who worked on it, which can't be bad. Comes in opengl flavour with mouselook and all that jazz, doom2.wad required: http://www.doom2.net/~doomdepot/abs-download.html

By the way, I do like the little changes on all the models you guys have come up with - I see no reason why they should be carbon copies of the originals when you have the chance to add your own unique flavour to them - otherwise where would be the fun? Apart from anything else though, alot of the original designs from Doom and especially Wolf are a bit to simplistic to just be transferred straight into 3d, so you guys are doing a cracking job at interpreting them.
