Custom Textures With Darkplaces And QuArK

[Karall]

So, i have made some textures, that exceds the amount of colours in the quake palette, thus i can not use it in quake. I use darkplaces and im wondering, is it possible to make a .wad of this texture and thus using it in darkplaces? I also have a .wad making/editing program named TexMex.

You have to make crappy Quake-paletted versions of the textures (using TexMex or something like that) and use them in the map. Then if you save your high-quality versions of the textures with the right filenames, they will replace the crappy textures in the map when you run it with DarkPlaces.

If your map texture is called "hello", then save the high-quality version as "textures/hello.tga" inside your mod directory. (So like "c:\quake\moddir\textures\hello.tga".)

For more info open dpextensions.qc and look up "DP_GFX_EXTERNALTEXTURES".

Clever, Roboto san. But that's not enough.

Not that smart, actually. It's just copying old posts in the thread.

That was sarcastic.
