a while ago over on this thread there was a little confusion over the wall torches, their flames in particular.
I never really thought the problem was entirely solved and was left with a few unanswered questions.
Well I've been messing about with it recently and have decided to unleash my thoughts and results onto you all (poor you!), who knows, it might even be of help to someone!
Right. first thins first; Dpmod uses a new flame.mdl model for its torch that does NOT include a 3d flame modelled on.
It is intended exclusively for use with the flame sprite, and as such, simply removing the sprites will NOT put the old flame back on.
next; this shot from qrf shows the original flame.mdl (made by id) and is also being used with the flame sprite.
The model is the classic crude torch and wobbly flame all in one .mdl
However, being the old model, it also has the old (and very lo-res) skin.
So, heres the cure; original flame.mdl model + new skin (primevil's and some bump/gloss/luma's from me) + flame sprite = this
In order to get the classic torch without the sprite (as shown on the left in above pic), simply remove the appropriate torch spr32 file from your progs folder!
oh yeah, heres the download - WALL TORCHES
It has the old flame.mdl model in there as well as the skins, so all you have to do is load it!
enjoy...or not
all credit to primevil for his original flame.mdl skin...
