I know you can download mods to make the maps have higher resolution textures, but are there any high res skins available for the gun models?

Those weapons never show up right in-game for me

There's always weird black lines all around the skin that ruin the look of the texture. Is there any way to fix that?

wat client are you using? r1q2? make sure you have r1gl for better quality skins + textures.

I have all that. but it doesn't make a difference, for example check this screenshot out, the skin has weird black lines on the player hand and right above that rotating thing on the weapon...

That's probably because the original meshes and skins were so low-res that the UV maps are not very precise. That weapon clearly looks better than the stock ones. I think it'd be pretty hard to improve the hand models to the extent you're suggesting. Also, it's just an image file. If you think you can fix it, fire up Gimp or Photoshop and try it. Believe it or not, that's what the people who made those skins did

No, I'm pretty sure that's the case because they obviously fit the textures wrong.

I don't think that's what he was suggesting.

Now that you mention it, Real.... yeah, I can picture Razor doing that, LOL! The first time I played him in a 1v1 match months and months ago, he beat me pretty bad. I still rarely play TDM. But I came back a few months ago and played him again... I ended up beating the crap out of him. I think he disconnected.

GOD DAMN COMPUTER!!! NOOB ON THESE SHIT COMPUTER!!! NOOB ON THIS HAX!!! XD

Oh well. Not really a fair game anyway, 40 ping versus 100+ ping isn't exactly a level playing field.

For the record: Paril was the one who originally took the Quake III Generations models and converted them to md2, with the results posted over at Q2Cafe. The Generations guys didn't like this, and asked that the conversions not be made available any more. As a result, Paril respectfully took them down. Posting them in new paks may not be such a wise idea at this point, unless the Gen guys have had a change of heart.

They gotten slightly more lenient with their "static" items (such as the health packs in my screenshot) and guidelined distribution of them.

oh how gracious of them...

Perhaps they could pull their heads out of their asses and realize that they could be getting free publicity for their obscure mod for a years old title, simply by asking people to include their names in a text file as contributors of the original geometry of the models.

They didn't make these .md2 files, and in essence they ripped off the concepts they used for their models from the quake 2 models which are freely available, so I have trouble seeing them as wholy original works of art or intellectual property worth haggling over.

If I drew the mona lisa in crayon on a napkin, I wouldn't expect the same level of respect that original artist got after I outright copied the subject of his work and made it in a slightly different medium, which is essentially what the gen guys did with the q2 weapons.

If the generations mod for q3 made any money at all (outside of that gay ass fileplanet hosting), and the people who were freely distributing these converted q2 models were charging money that the gen guys weren't getting a share of, I'd cry a salty tear for the devs who made the models for the generations mod.
