well for that, it can be easy as simply replacing their current gun with the others(of course positioning it to look nice). It might be harder for models like Plagues, because the texture is already so big that it ties up with the other and looks warped. if you wanted a single grunt to have all those weapons, you can simply assign the code to switch to a whole different grunt model. pm me if your ready for anything, I wouldn't mind helping out.

and the soldier model is quite different, but it has less frame sets.

the axegrunt from Travail however, is EXACTLY like the player model though. so I suppose you can use that =]

new sniper rifle(props to St3ady for making the original model)



new chaingun. I tried to make it look as DOX looking as I could

O_o The hwguy looks awesome with that Arnold size chaingun!

trickle these skins with better weapons dont work for me.. i put them in the right folder and stuff but they still arent working? im running ezquake 1.8 does it require 1.9?

yes, 1.9 or higher

They really look top.

Why, exactly, does it not work on 1.8.x? Curious....


BTW, I found they work nicely when made into a .pk3. I also found out in my tinkering that ezquake doesn't require the "name pak files sequentially" deal anymore. At least it seems to read my pak9.pak when there is no 3 thru 8 in a recent ezquake beta. I had made a new fryguy.mdl animation to test with when I discovered this.

BTW, thanks for pointing me in the right direction with the Painkeep vweps. I didn't waste a lot of time making them perfect like you and the textures are ancient but it will still make Painkeep a much better game. Waiting now on Niborevoli to see if he can fix the Chain Lightning animation. For some reason when shooting it the player and wep do not animate at all. They shoot perfectly still unlike the regular lighting gun.

Awesome!!!

Anyone have any bright ideas about getting the Painkeep vweps to show up in mvds? I take it the vanilla qw weapons are hadrcoded into the server or client?

I still take credit for the airgun

nice job though, I'm happy you took the time for positioning them. I was wondering where the hell you went dude Lol

hmm, you know I'm not sure. I think just plain recording demos work on the MegaTF coop server. at least on the latest ezquake 2.0 alphas

p.s.

you should scale down the cl slightly

I scaled it up simply because it will rotate eventually and I wanted it bigger, sorta like your thoughts on the RL.
I didn't spend a lot of time perfecting the slight wobbles etc in the players hand simply because when the action starts who cares!

Questions for anyone who knows:
1. So... will these work in EZQuake1.8.x?

2. Also, the PK only vweps not showing in demo playback, is this a client or server code issue? Or both? I use MVDSV .28b and the latest nightlies of EZQuake.

3. pk3 ordering by the ezquake client: Does EZQuake load pk3 files alphabetically like quake3?

And yes, nice job on the fist. Comparing mine to your airfist showed me a few things that I was too lazy to go back and fix

well I like them. I wouldn't mind adjusting some of them to fit better, anything for good old PK! btw, to anyone who is reading this. this man ^^. along with Nib, a coder. made Painkeep even more awesome! instant gib kills with an axe and the harpoon!

5h17h34d, ezQuake currently only supports vweps in mvds for DM and TF weapons.

In theory though, any custom models could be made to work with a bit of extra effort, so don't lose all hope yet. For now, make sure your vweps' names correspond to the v_ names. That is, if you have a v_bfg in first-person view, the vwep must be named w_bfg, etc. MVDs don't contain any dedicated vwep information, so ezQuake will have to rely on this correspondence for the vweps to work.

EDIT: actually, I don't think TF vweps currently work in MVDs either. ezQuake is simply hardcoded for the 8 DM weapons.

I added these to nQuake now. Sorry for the delay.

Thanks Tonik. I've found they do work in recent qwds I've recorded with my client. I had to put my most recent qwprogs.dat from my server into my client mod folder though. My server autorecords MVDs so if I can someday get it to work in them I will be a happy camper. :-D

I have to say, when playing seeing what others are holding certainly makes it a different, and better game IMO.

MORE NEW STUFF PLZ!

Question Tonik: To have these mod vweps show in server recorded demos where is the issue? In other words, do I make my feature request to the EZQuake devs or the MVDSV devs?

[edit] ...or both?

Let's put it this way, the right way to fix the issue is by rewriting some ezQuake code, and do file a feature request, but don't expect that to change anything because the only person likely ever to tackle it is myself

yeah. even before I tried viewing vweps in MVDs, I always thought it would make sense to simply have a code where it reads w models that match the v model names. btw, I'm back everyone! I just moved and I'm waiting to get to Ethernet in my room before I continue on finishing TF vweps.

to empezar:

thanks for adding the package to nQuake! I wanted to make a suggestion for the new installation. maybe a check box making it so all the vweps match the v and g models. since I have PrimeviL shotguns and rest are all Plagues(so basically it would install PrimeeviL's v_shot, g_shot, v_shot2, the 24-bit textures and then Plagues pak without his shotguns of course).

LOL! Well, thanks for being honest!

Added feature request here: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2147149&group_id=117445&atid=678562

Posting link in this thread because I bet there is interest out there.

A checkbox for that would be kind of meaningless.

[ ] Make weapons match each other

I'll look into matching the weapons.

the grapple!



the railgun!

St3ady helped put together this model. we made it DOX styled!

Cool!

Nice job

can you make Ruohis's style vweps ?

I still need to figure out how to do md3 models, I'm probably going to wait until md3s shows up properly on ezquake. right now they are too bright

Trickle, I was reading the thread and it appears that according to the information that this only requires server-side modification to work with the Quake player model. There is no QuakeC or anything else, right?

/For example, would the weapons show up right in, for example, FuhQuake? Or is it dependent on newer ezQuake features on the client-side?

yup, client-side. right now ezQuake and FuhQuake XE(Avirox's heavily modified version of Fuh) have it.

the separate player model is vwplayer.mdl and it has all the same qualities as player.mdl including the same frame sets minus the universal cannon and axe. so then the w models are assigned to the vwplayer.mdl.

qqshka has recently enabled brights on skins, thus w_light_0_luma actually does something now!



so if you play with r_fullbrightskins "0" like me, playing on a server that doesn't allow fullbright skins, or watch quake tv with fullbright skins off. this is nice =]
