Hello fellow quakers
I've completed another texture pack. Knave is probably my favorite texture set and many "knave" textures were already included in my previous packs. So I wanted to compile a proper HD pack covering wider range of "knave" themed levels. As usually, it all started with the simple idea - use my already finished textures from Tronyn/Travail texture packs, create a (presumably) few missing textures. Easy stuff.... And then it somehow spiraled out of control once again and it took much longer than expected. There were two reasons for that:
- a decision to avoid other people's work led to reworking several textures from my previous packs - for example kgrX_X series is now brand new. Both Travail/Tronyn packs have been also updated with the new versions of these textures.
- knave themed levels rarely use only knave textures. Knave Jam no.9 greatly extended final texture count as well as inclusion of Xala'noth - Part 1 with unique texture set never seen in quake before. Sadly, there is only one proper level (+start map) and the rest of the episode is still in limbo. Maybe some day....
I listed all "knave" themed maps/episodes in quaddicted database and this is the result.
Knave HD pack covers following maps and mods:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ID1 level(s) - A Quick One Before Azathoth Devours Fodrian
ID1 level(s) - Dead But Dreaming
ID1 level(s) - Down the ratbit hole
ID1 level(s) - East Ardougne
ID1 level(s) - Forgotten Tomb
ID1 level(s) - Lairs of Kellephais
ID1 level(s) - Nastrond
ID1 level(s) - Recursion
ID1 level(s) - The Contract
mod/episode - Chthonic Deities
mod/episode - Contract Revoked
mod/episode - The Lost Chapters + extra addon level The Rest Is Silence
AD level(s) - Atrocity Arise
AD level(s) - Castle Karthenfrost
AD level(s) - Xala'noth - Part 1
Quoth level(s) - Are you yet Living
Quoth level(s) - Breakfast at Twilight
Quoth level(s) - Conference of the Shamblers
Quoth level(s) - Gloomier Keep E1M5remix
Quoth level(s) - Pain in the Arch
Quoth level(s) - Red 777
Quoth level(s) - Subterranean Library
Quoth level(s) - Shifting planes of existence
Quoth level(s) - Func MapJam 9
NOT covered by this pack:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Arcanum by Tronyn - the only one big remaining "knave" release is already covered by my Tronyn HD pack
- Knave level from WarpSpasm - this pack covers roughly 80% of the textures. Whole WarpSpasm/Rubicon texture pack is a story for another day
- Knave level from Smej2 (typical mega monstrosity by Mazu) - same as above
Almost all the new textures are made by me. As usually, the rest is based on the original QRP material and altered be me. My final goal is to create a new internally consistent texture base unrelated to other creator's texture compilations.
a little statistics:
1259 - total number of textures used in above listed maps/mods
255 - not included textures, ID1 QRP or irrelevant textures (clip textures or textures not used in playable area)
815 - new textures made by me, majority is brand new, some based on QRP material
189 - remaining textures are mostly renamed QRP textures, some edited by me, but only slightly
Detailed credits file and the original low-res textures for comparison are included.
usage:
Put pk3 file into directory of any above mentioned mods or id1 folder for vanilla id1 levels and play. No other texture pack except for ID1 QRP pack is needed. Using any other texture pack would only create conflicts and is not advisable.
some comparison screens:
Texture used for teleports. There was almost nothing to built upon so I had to be a little more creative. Inspired by the texture name itself... demonica..
Switch texture, used everywhere not only in knave themed maps.
No proper knave level can be without satanic pentagram.
Cobble pavement
May seem like a variant of existing QRP material, but it was easier to make it from scratch than trying to modify existing doors.
Some machinery from Xala'noth, probably evil.
Some piping from Xala'noth, probably also evil.
There already was a version of this texture in my Travail/Tronyn pack but it didn't fit to the pack so I remade it from scratch.

Same as above, whole kgrX series is new now.
Another brick in the wall.
Big brother is watching (with little sisters).
Natural textures are still hard for me.. rock, soil, grass.. just using real photos look out of place in the game. A lot of iteration here.
I see dead people.
Don't know exactly what it is... a wall with jaws?
One from KnaveJam9. Not exactly knave texture but I wanted all textures to be covered by one pack.
Another new version of already existing texture. Previous version from Travail/Tronyn pack was made by talisa and edited by me, but i still wasn't satisfied and made a new one.
