Looking for help with external model textures

Post by hondobondo »

Darkplaces does this:
modelname.mdl_0.tga
put textures in \progs

Enhanced GlQuake
modelname_0.tga
textures go in textures\models

Neither of these conventions work for either of these engines:
FTEQuake
DirectQ

Does anyone know how to make these work?

Darkplaces convention should work for DirectQ but it's been so long that I can't recall specifics (I no longer even have the source code to check).

What I can recall is that I definitely used the Darkplaces naming convention, because the other naming convention breaks on s_light (ID1 has both s_light.mdl and s_light.spr) so it's going to be the folder that you put the TGA in that's different. I'd suggest try it in \textures, \textures\progs or similar.
