A group of old Thunderwalker players are getting together for weekly TW games in what we're calling TW Revival. We've got everything running quite nicely with ez-quake, and I'm tweaking some things to update stuff.
In particular I want to upgrade the skins. By default, if you don't go in and touch the ez-quake skin settings, TW uses the skins in \ctf\SKINS\ folder, called Twblue.pcx and Twred.pcx. These are low-res pcx files using the 256 color pallet.
Now I've found some nice high res red and blue .png skins that DO work with ez-quake, when you manually set the teamskin and enemy skin to them. They look great and they are exactly what I want. However, when you set enemyskin to blue.png and teamskin to red.png, well that's no good if you are on the blue team right!
So what I need to figure out how to do is some how alter the game or the mod so that I can change wherever it is that the default skins are set, and set them to these new high res png files.
I have no idea how to do this. If you guys could give me a hand or point me in the right direction (even in the direction of another forum somewhere out there if this isn't the best place to be asking about this?) then that would be awesome.
Thanks!
