Explosion sprites for explosion models?
« on: April 27, 2006, 01:08:04 AM »
I've always wondered about this, but - during checking of the .paks in a quick file verification - I saw these yet again, so I figured I'd ask for the hell of it.

For those who don't know, there are different versions of explosion sprites similar to those used in Quake 3 Arena, so I wondered what it'd take to switch them.

I imagine any Pak Editor would do it. Just find the actual file(s), delete it, insert your new one (which you've extracted from Quake 3 pak or other source) and finally re-save the pak.

I think thats it......

I believe its one of these commands I have in my autoexec:

cl_blend 0
set gl_polyblend 0
set cl_predict 1
set gl_swapinterval 1

I know the polyblend one makes the water clear.

I know the polyblend one makes the water clear.

 :bigshades:

cl_blend - removes screen flashing, warping and discoloration caused by environment factors, like water, but only for software rendering
gl_polyblend - same as above, but for OpenGL
cl_predict - semi-network command used for interpolation of moving entities, such as players
gl_swapinterval - rendering/interlacing option (I haven't read the console manual in a while)

Nothing in the console's known variables (settings) switches sprites for models.  I suppose no one has a way, then, so they're wasted.  What is that I heard about that executable that made Quake 2 look like Q3A?
