Texture Problem in Shrak for Quake

[Drak]

Hi there,
at first english is not my native Language so im sorry if i write something wrong

I am just playing through my old Games. After i finished Quake and the two Addons "Scourge of Armagon" and "Dissolution of Eternity" i wanted to start Shrak for Quake (using Dos-Box for all Titels)

The normal Installation didnt work because in the Installation Progress Dosbox told "Illegal command: xcopy"

With the Workaround postet in the Comments of this Video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPHDMkWfCiI) i finally managed to install the game.
But when i start all textures are White except for my weapon. Any Idea what i could do?

That was indeed easy difficulty. Normally the weapons should respawn during the fight. But without......impossible.
But the other Levels in Shrak were quite interesting and beside the Boss it was fun playing it.

Disgusting boss, quite a nice idea tho'
He was a bit too much of a bullet sponge.
What difficulty did you play on? If that was easy, I don't think Hard would be possible without cheating.

[Drak]

Just for the record. I just finished it. Was quite Buggy at the end, but without your help i would have been never able to Play it. So thanks again

If someone is interested in seeing a noob fighting Shrak (Endboss) i posted a Video

Ok i tested it and it works (some minor Errors but good playable). And in my personal Opinion the Leveldesign of this conversion is pretty good. So i can really recommend it

And again thank you very much for your help

respect for your pretty nice German, Adam.

Drak, you can PM me in german if you want to know anything.

[Adam]

No problem!
Do me a favour tho',
please edit your post above and remove the download links and I will do the same for mine because it looks like it might be still being sold.

Best to be cautious.

Adam you are my hero

Getting the old Games to work on modern Systems is always an adventure.

I test your Settings later. And give than Feedback.

Yes. The Game was sold (TheLegacy: Game :: Shrak for Quake) but I own the Original. So i think its ok to modifie it a bit to get it to work.

[Adam]

Got it working.

There used to be a Link to Shrak.zip here.

Unzip the above so that the SHRAK folder & SHRAK shortcut.bat end up in the Darkplaces folder.
Don't rename them and don't stick them inside ID1.
They should be in the same folder as the Darkplaces.exe (& the ID1 folder which is required for textures by the look of it).

The folder would of been a lot smaller but I encountered a problem with uppercase & lowercase named bsp files co-existing in the pak file which meant I would have had to rename (recase?) all the files before getting them into the pak, So I just placed them into a separate SHRAK\maps folder. Effectively doubling them up.

Anyway, I tested it and it worked on my end.

Was this mod ever sold? If so, we may have unintentionally violated some copyrights here.

Ohoh, my Noobfactor seems to increase as i get older

But thanks for all the help so far. But it seems that i need more.

Here are two Links to the Data form my Shrak CD-Rom and one for the Texturefix postet above.
Maybe someone get this to work and can tell how he did that.

Heres the Link to both files:

I found an old thread here that talks about your problem :
http://quakeone.com/forums/quake-tal...094-shrak.html

Near the bottom of the thread, a link is given to a mini patch.

Hope this helps.

and the last one

Sniff, i tried and failed.
I copied the Shrak Folder into the Darkplacesmod and simply renamed in Id1. And it started. But also with bad textures (slightly better)
Here are some Screens. 1-2 from my Dosbox Attempt and 3-4 with the Darplacesmod. The 4th will come with the next post

[Adam]

To be honest, I haven't played Shrak.
But usually you just copy your game/mod folder (Maybe SHRAK folder)
into Darkplaces like you did with the ID1 folder.

Then make a shortcut:

Darkplaces.exe -game SHRAK +map start

That is a guess tho' I'm sure someone will be along shortly to correct me.

[Drak]

Ok,
i downloaded Darkplaces and unpacked it. Then i copied the ID1 Folder from my Quake Installation into the new Folder. Quake runs properly but how can i get Shrak started with this mod?

P.S. your german is pretty good.
