| I like the simple texture sets shown there dirk. Would it be possible to add a slight check pattern to the blue? Might help with giving a better depth perspective? |

same as the simple texture wad m8.u just put the wad in your dmc folder and it overwrites the hidden one.to use default textures again u simply move it out and the game reads the hidden default wad again.
i,ll try to finish it tonight once i get a dmq server up.i,m going to put the original windows version back up ,same as bb was running whilst the linux version and the dropquad is sorted out.the server has been off more than on .bb is having a bandwidth problem at the moment so i decided to put one up,but i,m falling to sleep at the keys  |

hi
they are higher resolution tga graphics,not default .m8 hl graphics.
they are the same type as u would put in a detail texture set (tho quite plain ,not like the stuff u see in the detailed textures sets carbs has built).
but because there put directly into the wad file they should run on anything with a average card.you dont have to put anything in your cfg.detailtextures dont work for me either.thats why i started messing about with the wad file
the problem is,,with the detailtexture sets u can just alter one map.messing with the wad file effects all maps made with standard dmc textures.so if i get one map looking good , i end up with another map looking crap..eg..with wall textures on the ceiling .so ure limited to what u can do.
what would be ideal is to have the original maps dm2.dm3.dm6. ect recompiled with the wad files excessable,not buried in the maps.then higher quality texture sets or even custom themed sets could be built and released by whoever had the skill to do them better,without having to do the whole wad in the same theme.
but there are then possible lighting problems and the maps would have to be renamed ..eg..dm2r
then u would have to get server operators to agree to run them and force a new download on the players,of an identical map to the one they recognise..the only difference being,,they could then got to there local communities download area and choose better quality textures or whatever custom theme they wanted for each map.
it,s a massive job and i dont have the skill to map and most mappers are busy on projects.
there u go
dirk
some of this might be wrong,,other bits might just be me dreaming but i like it. |

i feel for ya, dirk.... it's just that this game doesn't support what you're trying to do (yet).
if you look at quake, from it's inception... 256 color 8 bit with open GL support thrown in as an afterthought.... and look at it now, 24 bit FUH supported....look at what Q2Max has done with the quake 2 engine.... its just that time is really the issue here. please try to be patient. this game needs more developers and coders to give people what they want. i believe TrenD and Dive have some great work in this regard, and so has Pix. it's just that sweeping changes to the game aren't going to happen overnight. i know... it sux but what are ya gonna do? |
