yes, currently only ezQuake does. Darkplaces I know does not yet, but I've spoken with LH and I hope he adds the support. I'm pretty sure FTE does not support .link files either, but hopefully Spike or Molgrum add the support as well. convert-links.bat has been provided for those engines which don't support .link files.

edit: lordhavoc for some reason won't be implementing .link support. bug him if you want it

lol, too bad.. he implements a bunch of not really useful stuff, but no support for QRP

never liked DarkPlaces.. it's so out of sync with the other engines
it's like he tries hard to make people not to use it. :|

edited: unnecessary harsh words

Qrack is my baby... ;p

Good work to all the artists who made the textures in this pack! I like some of the new additions. I laughed out loud when I saw the high-res dopefish. I never thought anyone would bother to make that texture.

The only complaint I have is the new uwall1_2.tga texture. I actually liked the old version better, even if the new one resembles the original more closely. I don't like how the pattern is so obvious in a big cliff face; you can see it repeat over and over again. The old one blended nicely and wasn't too distracting.

Oh, and I absolutely love the new Grave set.

One could simply use OS-specific symlinks (called "junction points" in NTFS). In Linux this would be as easy as running "ln <texturefile> <filepointingtoit>" from a script. Should be as easy for NTFS too.

And don't talk bad about LordHavoc, when it comes to implementing/creating standards he is one of the very "front-fighters". These .link files rather sound like a ezQuake-solo-run to me?

Wrote a small tool to create symbolic links in .pak-files, you could use it to make a more generic release if you want:

http://www.lurq.net/qw/lnpak-1.0.zip

Just DON'T use it without making a backup of your pak-files
Edit: Give feedback!

good work molgrum

would be nice if you expand this to allow you to create a .pak from an existing directory structure - retaining any symbolic links already there

p.s. your Makefile is semi broken on linux as you turned off linking ('-c') :-)
switch to 'gcc -O3 -Wall -fmessage-length=0 -o lnpak lnpak.c'

oldman:

The files in the sub-folder should be the newer ones, remove the ones at the root of the zip-file. You'll find the working Makefile in the sub-folder as well.
Hmm, how would I go through the files and detect symbolic list, platform-independant? I think the next step would be to be able to remove the links since atm I guess when you create the links, you're stuck with them

ofc i'm not suggesting you did it platform independently, who cares about windows

my suggested workflow would be to store QRP under version control (SVN), checked in from Linux with symbolic links where necessary, then a working version could be checked out under Linux, and a Makefile run to produce a .pak file from the repository and package it up for release.

Or you could create a .pak-file out of the textures you want to link to, then run a shell-script that runs the linker to create each link automatically from a predefined list.

Edit: Does anyone want to do .pk3-support?

Thanks for all the hard work guys. dm3 looks awesome now.

hum, dunno if mine is working.. terror or someone, please post a screenshot..

jpg compression really makes it look a lot worse

i'm looking forward to the release of new bumpmaps, QRP's dm6 bumpmap set was ssssweeeeet

Bump.

New packs are released, read our webpage or qwnu news post for more details

&#1053;i! I made two new 24bit textures. First texture only for e1m2, second for e1m2, dm3 etc.
How can I send it to you in ordet to use ones in your Revitalization project?

http://facelift.quakedev.com/

go to contacts section and email it to me or private msg me a link to the textures

can we see it?

Ok!


Maybe

please do not compress the .pk3 that you bundle the textures into, i presume you are using winzip or something with default options, but this compression increases loading times massively for a mere 130M reduction in filesystem usage (you will still save on download size because you already place the .pk3 within another .zip for download!)

nice!

[20:36] <AquaSharK> qrp-maptextures-2007-10-20r2-low.pk3 (15.5 MB) contains a 1.6 MB thumbs.db file
[20:37] <AquaSharK> you might wanna squeeze it out of the pk3

I downloaded the latest model retexture pack (2005?) and was reading the readme. It spoke about renaming the files for Darkplaces. Adding a .mdl to the file name.

Seems pretty straight forward on the model_#.tga files. But on the ones without an underscore, not sure where the .mdl gets stuck in.

ie +0_med25.tga Does this become +0_med.mdl25.tga or +0_med.mdl_25.tga or does the .mdl end up some other spot in the file name?

I thank you for all the great textures, I can't wait for the map textures to be complete. Seems the bone and electrical filled ones are still in process. Looks great so far.

Hi TomCat39 and welcome to the qw.nu forum!

I'm not that familiar with Darkplaces naming of replacement textures and I can't check my own installation right now cause I'm at work, but have you tried them without adding .mdl to these files e.g. +0_med25.tga?
It seems strange to add .mdl to files that are not mdl's in the first place but I could be wrong.
If one should add .mdl I guess it should look like this: +0_med25.mdl.tga.
Maybe Drugs-Bunny or someone else can clarify the readme?

Anyway thanks for your kind words about the textures and I hope we (the QRP team) can complete all textures some day

/Moon[Drunk]

Is there any release in the near future? Personaly I would enjoy seeing e1m2 complete

Thanks for your response Moon[Drunk], I got it figured out. Not everything in the "model" pack is an official model skin. The health packs are bsp entities and so just use the normal naming convention and I added to the retexture pk3 in the texture folder. The armor is a model and thus needs the .mdl added right after the model name ie armor, and then needs to go into the progs folder under texture.

It was a fun challenge finding all the tools I needed to actually find all the original textures in the game files. But I managed to peak at them all and decipher which textures go where and what naming scheme to use for Darkplaces.


Shoot E1M1 being finished would be nice too ;-p

Being the entry transporters aren't done, most maps have a small affected portion.

I still don't know how one goes about adding back all the missing pixels from those blurred textures while keeping the same look and making it turn out so good, but it must not be an easy or fast task. I really appreciate the extreme hard work this project demands. Thank you and keep up the awesome work.

I would like to see all of the textures in 24bit, but I am not sure if that's even possible. And it might take a very long time. Right now I am using the 2007 pack because it's the latest you can find. Anyone else know another complete pack that might look better?
