Can I use this http://www.quakeone.com/qrack/pakX.zip with DirectQ?

It contains these files....

I tried using it as a Pak, no luck, tried ripping out contents of Pak and manually stuffing them in textures folder, no go :F

isnt the naming of textures in crack different?

cuz i know that what you listed is the naming from darkplaces, not?

i dunno what the naming of textures in qrack should be, but i know its different then darkplaces naming

The Pak was designed for Qrack by r00k.(with a Q, crack is ghetto dope! lol)

I don't know who made it the replacement texture,I just know that r00k borrowed it, nor do I know anything about naming scheme's for replacement textures in each individual client.

I know,that DirectQ supports replacement ITEM / Map textures , so I am inclined to believe that DirectQ will support the replacement playermodel texture , too ! DirectQ is the engine in question, not Qrack/Darkplaces. :/

She is right,you need to rename them to follow generic quake naming convention.

Unpak the original pak1 and look at how the textures are named,then change all the names in the qrack pak to the same manner.

Probably won't work; DirectQ uses a colormapping scheme for player skins that is damn fast but is also more about being fully compatible with the original engine than it is about adding support for this kind of setup. This is in line with the philosophy of "DirectQ isn't really a content-replacement engine".

On the other hand, if at least 2 other engines supported this skin replacement naming convention I'd be a little more willing to also support it.

The player skins are named as modelname_skinnumber.imageformat
DP uses modelname.mdl_skinnumber.imageformat
I don't think Dq has support for that but I'm not sure
