I'll look into it. IIRC I had a few issues trying to get the patch to load the first time I tried it.

EDIT: It would appear that running a full boot of the game prevents the patch from loading. Have you tried a fast boot? That seems to make the difference at my end.

EDIT EDIT: Started on Klesk. Busy tomorrow but should have him done by the weekend.

EDIT EDIT EDIT: Actually, bugger it, have a save state

Aaaaaaand Klesk is down! That just leaves Anarki.

If all else fails, try that savestate I linked to (I presume it's the US version you're running, but I can provide a PAL one if needed), it's saved at the title screen. Drop it into your sstates folder and load it before the grey screen appears. Should be Slot 1.

Anarki's done already, just need to get the file uploaded from my main rig. And yeah, like I was saying earlier, it seems as if Q3 doesn't like being emulated regardless of platform. I'm no expert, but my guess is that the textures are being corrupted by the renderer, but are fine in memory. Even if they are being flipped in VRAM, I'm sure that the little camera pan around the character at the start of a new tier should suffice for a save state, as the skin always displays correctly there. That said, Matsilagi is the expert here.

The software renderer actually makes the texture errors worse on my end, along with increased z-fighting on certain surfaces.

Makes sense to drop Hunter with those skimpier designs (!), given EA had a problem with the reception of X-Squad a year earlier for their uncanny skimpy characters before it hit the west.

As Major doesn't have a voice and these player characters are the ones who are supposed to have voices in play, it might indicate an early scrapping of voices as well.

and if you're unfamiliar with Q3R's unused player voices they are terrible actings of many bot chat lines.  Sarge does say "sarge is in the house", Anarki is a straight up surfer dude,  and klesk is hardly understandable.

Does anyone know if there is a Windows driver for the memory card reader accessory for the PS3?  I own Quake 3 Revolution and I could help out too.

Also, not sure if everyone already knows this but there's a level skip code:


Edit: And nevermind, I just realized you can only play as the 5 characters in campaign. :p

For the envmappy skins it will never be 100% accurate anyway because Q3R uses a different environmentmap generation function reflecting off from some origin in the world instead of the camera (likely done for refactoring for squeezing more EE vector speed)


also I was tempted to port the menu system to the TA scripts once

I know the Q3 shader inside and out, and I have a copy of the shader manual if you need it. 

With a bit of fiddling, Doom's skins are in the bag!



More screens soon. Bizarrely, Doom's visor textures all have a 50% horizontal offset, meaning my first attempt at getting them ingame was a bit odd-looking.

What has helped is that, just last night, torridGristle sent me a link to a set of tools he's working on to get at the files contained in LINKFILE.lnk which made this task much easier, however not all of the files are accessible yet, it seems. Only Doom's and Sarge's skins are available due to Q3R having the HUD heads in a separate directory. So, as it stands, Daemia, Klesk and Anarki will still have to be done the hard way

What is giving me trouble though is Sarge's envmap. His ultimate skin relies on alpha channels in the .tga and the purple glow refuses to show up ingame, despite the transparency being clearly visible in GIMP. I've seen tG's own screenshots and he's got the envmap working pretty much perfectly, so I'm sure that it's something I'm missing. For the record, the extraction tool tG sent me is able to unscramble Q3R's shader files and I'm going by those (there are a number of deprecated shader scripts in the folder, and it was one of those old ones that I had to use to get Doom's shaders up and running).

But still, progress!
