well

the model is an md1 model converted to md3 and according to some info I found on q2pro then I need to rename an md3 file to tris.md2 for it to work

it does show up but without texture

I guess I could try checking the models metadata to ensure that paths are correct

I would not know how to get a real md3 in to q2pro since I would need to specify head, upper and lower plus textures for that

Skins, Models and Maps / q2pro - playing with models

new user here.. hi...

so I went back to a lost love... quake 2... after many years

and I discovered sourceports and chose q2pro

now I want to use a ton of md3 models I have downloaded and/or modified and/or made, to change the enemies in vanilla quake 2

how do I proceed?

what what I read, I need to make a pak file with pakscape and all md3 models must be called tris.md2 and placed in the correct folder.. atleast for player skins

but what about monster stats, chosing animations etc?¨

did a quick test with an anubis model, originally for quake 1 but converted to md3...

in

C:\games\quake2\testmon\models\monsters\soldier

I placed these files

tris.md2
pain.pcx
skin.pcx
skin_lt.pcx
skin_ltp.pcx
skin_ss.pcx
skin_ssp.pcx

then started q2pro.exe
wrote set game testmon and started a new game

the soldier was replaced, but with a non textured and non animated floating anubis model
