embedded Skins

[Mulekicker]

Some one embedded the Lemmie skin in Players. I have searched every where to find the skin and delete it with no avail!! I went as far as deletion of all skins male,Female and model to find the only skin left when I played was the dammed lemmie Skin.

I have pakexplore and searched all paks in base2 still cannot find the skin. Any one know how I may find this skin not having to unistall q-2 and reinstall? the fucking skin is driving me nitz!!!LOL

It's not "embedded" in anything, unless you have it inside of a non-stock pak file. The stock pak files will be pak0, pak1 and pak2 and should be found in the following directory: c:/quake2/baseq2. It will not be found in any of those 3. If there are any paks besides those in the baseq2 folder, use a pak browser to investigate and edit them, or just remove paks altogether.

I'm gonna assume you're mainly having this problem while playing on vanilla. But just in case,... you don't happen to be noticing this while playing some other mod on another server besides vanilla, do you? Some of the other TS servers are running mods which have their own folders for content. For example, when playing on the railz server, usually skins and maps downloaded from that server will go into the "railz" folder, and NOT baseq2. The Vanilla and DM servers use content from and store content to the baseq2 folder rather their own mod folders.

But regardless of whether the skin is somewhere in baseq2 or another mod folder, it will be located somewhere like this: c:/quake/baseq2/players/lemming (... or whatever that models folder is named, I dunno the exact name). If you want nothing but stock models, just delete all folders inside the "players" folder that ARE NOT named "male", "female", "cyborg" or "crakhor". Once you do that, be sure to check your autoexec.cfg (or config.cfg if no autoexec is present) and make sure that you have this setting:
set allow_download_players "0"
This will disable downloading of skins and player models from the server to make sure that you don't receive another copy of the annoying model in the future.

We have already cleared all of the skin files out of baseq2 folder except for the default quake skins. we deleted the paks that were not required to run quake. pak 0, 1 and 2 was all that was left. All the default skins are all correct and working, but the lemming skin is still there. how could this be?

hi mule
drop this folder on your players folder.
your lemming will show up as a full white male, and you dont need to turn off your downloads.
this is the skin i use to replace every lame skins

did you search for "lemmie" or  "lemming". Its "lemming"! 
it must be somewhere!
