cheers, bud!
I keep getting the whole "quakespasm can use md5's now" thing from everyone all over the place, suggesting that the AMQ project is obsolete.
A little reminder to all the nay-sayers and griping complainers that there are still many other engines out there that do NOT support md5.
mdl is always going to be the safe bet for compatibility.
Another factor for me is that I've not updated my quakespasm for some time and might not for a while.
last time I did that the machine I had couldnt run it... a risk I'm not keen to test again anytime soon...
Also worth mentioning that if not for my most recent endeavours on this project their fancy new monsters would still be without matching headgibs at all... in mdl or md5 (thanks trickle).
same goes for your ammo bsp's. they'd be dealing with the old plain boxes without those.
Instances of imagined vertex wobbles and miniscule detail variant interpretations have truely tested my patience to quite an extent on this too. nitpicking, critisizing nonsensica, without any suggestion or offers of alternatives leaves them bitching for the sake of bitching.
cretins aside, its a great project and I'm just glad I was able to muscle my way in on it! but then I believe that as long as you are actually contributing, then you have a part to play... eh, anyway. the show goes on and will continue to for many a year on and off I feel. in the end we do this for ourselves first. then share the goods afterwards...
we're nice like that...
so the moral of the story is: appreciate what you've got
'cause basically, we're fantastic...
...oh and humble, don't forget humble...

Amazing news, congrats! I am really glad things worked out for you, at long last! And no worries, I don't think there'll be too much to do here for a while. I'll stay watchful and see if anything useful pops up over at Doomworld. It'd still be great to have something again at some point which isn't ripped from Enhanced.

Looks like we might get our hands on a Zombie with additional DoE animations after all.
Over at Doomworld, someone complained about the Zombie missing animations when climbing from the cross in R2M5 and R2M7. Apparently Nightdive will fix that in an upcoming update since it only happens with MD5 replacements and they can do something about that. So as soon as the new model is available, all we have to do is to convert that one to MDL and we have our DoE replacement, at long last.
@osj:
Will let you know once it is available and will provide you with the model then.

You got a keen eye there. I admit I never noticed it ingame, but when looking at the model from the side in q1mv, one of the arms indeed points down instead of laying flat on the ground. Well observed!Last edited by NightFright; 09-07-2021, 03:09 PM.

Hey, NightFright o/
I don't know if you already fixed this, but in the fiend's last death frame his arm goes through the floor...
i fixed it with Qme. if you want to check, here is the model:

After this is sorted out, I guess the Enforcer with his misaligned laser fire (due to model interpolation?) should still be checked. Then I believe the next release should be ready.
PS: Actually, when checking the Enforcer ingame now, I can't see anything wrong with it.Last edited by NightFright; 09-06-2021, 12:46 AM.

He might be using a mod however, there's no further info provided. Anyway, if it looks fine in official maps in various ports, there's nothing to fix. Maybe he was also referring to a different model, but I cannot associate anything else with the phrase "little explosive barrels".

Well, I don't mind the way the RL looks now. You should only see the muzzleflash in two frames, that's it.
As for the Enforcer: I dunno why the muzzleflash isn't showing where it should, but maybe it's a simple fix like for the RL.
