New md3 models in Darkplaces
Posted: Thu Apr 14, 2011 4:55 pm
People have sensibly advised me of various md3 map models to use in my map, however, although it's pretty clear how to replace exisiting mdl's with md3's, I'm struggling somewhat to get new models working.
Some questions therefore:
1) If the model is in a .pk3 file, should I keep it in it or extract it and place it in Quake/mod-name/progs/ ?
2) If left in the .pk3, where would it go? Quake/mod-name/ ??
3) When coding the new model in .qc, and if the model is left in the .pk3, what path do I put in setmodel? Just the root folder of the mod (if put there) or that plus the structure within the .pk3?
4) What additional code needs to be added for md3 map models. For mdl ones I normal just precache, setmodel, solid type and move type. Is there anything else?
Thanks for the help
