It's unlikely that a pakfile permanently modifies/deletes items from your Q2, since it usually does nothing more than temporarily override or add files.
As a test just take out *all custom* paks except for pak0 and pak1, if you still don't see the models then something else might have gone bad(?). Use a pakfile viewer like PakScape to open pak0.pak (the main pak) and check if the model files are there; check the "models/items.." folders, every model should have a
skin.pcx
and a
tris.md2
.
The original weapon-models and player-models come with the 'q2-3.20-x86-full' patch. I'd suggest extracting the files
to a temp folder and then just copy the
tris.dm2 files
manually from the temp 'players' directory to your own 'players' directory, instead of letting it overwrite your current Q2 stuff. If other items are also missing then the only way to get them back is to reinstall the game.
I attached the colormap.pcx, it should be placed in: ..\Quake2\baseq2\pics
