Hello,
Mindf!3ldzX asked me to write an instruction how to use Reforged Skins in DarkPlaces.
There seem to be an amount of users who have problems with it.
So, of course I will.
First of all:
Delete all your previous used monster/heads skins. Doesnt matter if they are inside a .pk3 file
or inside your "Quake\ID1\progs" and "Quake\ID1\textures" folder.
You will most probably have issues later on if you do not do it.
There are basically 2 ways of implementing Reforged skins (or any other content) in DarkPlaces:
1.) Via subfolders:
- Download Reforged monster skin pack: QR_QuakeBestiary_2048.7z or QR_QuakeBestiary_1024.7z
- Now open the 7-Zip file and extract only the subfolders:
"For Darkplaces\id1\progs" and "For Darkplaces\id1\scripts" into your Quake directory: "Quake\id1"
2.) Via .pk3 file:
- Download Reforged monster skin pack: QR_QuakeBestiary_2048.7z or QR_QuakeBestiary_1024.7z
- Now open the 7-Zip file and extract it to a temporary place:
- Now go into that temporary folder "For Darkplaces\id1", so that you see both subfolders in your Explorer: "progs" and "scripts"
- Mark these 2 folders ("progs" and "scripts") and add them to a new .ZIP file.
- Rename the new ZIP file to anything you want and rename the format to ".pk3".
- Now take this .pk3 file and drop it into your "Quake\ID1" folder.
Thats it.
In both ways, next time you start DarkPlaces, you will see Reforged monster skins.
Remember:
Depending on your configuration of DarkPlaces, the visuals will be different !
Mostly effected are "RT World", "RT shadows", "Parallax Mapping".
Kind Regards,
Seven
