Models Retexture by mazzyplz

[mazzyplz]

these textures were made to be played on the berserker engine
so they include normal and gloss/'specular' maps in addition to the traditional 'difuse'/color texture
there is also a batch of 'pain' versions of each texture as is mandatory for monsters in quake2

www-personal.umich.edu/~jimw/q2/share/

this is where the files are currently hosted.

special thanks to James W. 'Just_Jim' for hosting

massive update is coming in the next few hours

New monster skins update 5/10/11, All the models have been prerendered with a vertex color/lightning pass to bake improved skins

+ also new weapon skin for super shotgun, part of a new pack called
"no more plastic shotguns".

this is actually a modification of the original berserker@q2 normal/diffuse and specular maps for the super shotgun, special thanks to the author (if you have the info on who it is, please contact).
i completely remade the barrels and handle, worked on the specular maps (for the longest time) and the normals as well, retextured the metallic parts with a custom metal 'material'





i had to take several shots because the monsters kept looking to the side, and the light kept blinking on and off on the second one lol

you may use these textures with the berserker engine, and if you are going to use them for your own project make sure it is for quake 2 or quake 2 related, and that you mention me as the original author.
otherwise you do not have my permission to use these


permanent hosting will be up soon!
stay tuned

(ps. try the new shotgun skin @ the "train" map *wink*wink*)

When I install berserker, I am installing it with the only available files on the website in this order:

q2bers_base.rar (183 MB) Основной архив.
Для установки иметь установленный полный последний Quake2.

Обновление до версии 1.24:
up123to124.rar
up123to124_.rar <-- WHAT IS THIS? I did not use this.
Обновление до версии 1.3:
up126to13.rar
Обновление до версии 1.31:
up13to131.rar

But when I go up to 1.3, the load screen comes up and it just hangs. It works all the way up to 1.24. I wonder what the problem is?

Is the file "up123to124_.rar" different than "up123to124.rar"? Is that supposed to be the update from 124 to 126?

I never get an email when I subscribed to berserker forum.

[mazzyplz]

i know what you mean, i wasn't able to join the quakegate.ru forums either, never got an activation email

here's a little step by step on how to get it going, i don't remember how i did it myself, but i think i just followed some instructions somewhere

fps.maros.pri.ee/index.php?event=1163

look on the right, there's a link for the main "basebers" pack, get that (1.2) and then download all the updates,

1.21 to 1.26.

the last updates are i think 1.30 to 1.31 in the official berserker site

berserker.quakegate.ru/

====================================================================

textures update coming soon! stay tuned

[mazzyplz]

new skins for the blaster and the Mutant models.

download the pk2, put it into the baseq2 folder and add the name of the pk2 to purepaks.lst.
that's it!

Mazzyplz_models_05-2..> 25-May-2011 11:14 58M is the updated models pack. It includes the previously released skins and models. Delete the older pk2 and put Mazzyplz_models_05-25.pk2 in the directory \baseq2 and update the file "purepaks.lst" so Mazzyplz_models_05-25.pk2 will load.

www-personal.umich.edu/~jimw/q2/share/Mazzyplz_models_05-25.pk2

To use these models and skins in Quake2xp
Unzip Mazzyplz_models_05-25.pk2
rename files ending with _light to _gl
rename files ending with _bump to _nm
zip and name the file q2xpMdlmazzyplz_models.pkx

Otherwise wait until I upload q2xpMdlmazzyplz_models.pkx later tonight.

project is not dead yet people!

thanks for the moderator at facebook's quake 2 page for the shoutout!

wip head, minus the techy stuff

[mww054]

Oh man, these look great.

Too bad megaupload was taken out during the SOPA campaign..

Cant wait for more updates, it looks like a 5 year old game instead of a 15 year old game

[mazzyplz]

thanks for the kind words, and i hope i dont disapoint-

UPDATE! may 27th 2012

www.gigasize.com/get/7pqs4tro0qb

only the gladiator skin is new, it's still not finished (much like the other textures, which are never truly done), it doesnt have a pain texture yet! i am sorry
new hosting will be gigasize since i don't need to make an account there.
next will come the pain texture for the gladiator, and some updates to existing textures in my pack. then i'll move on to another model. thanks for your patience.

as usual put the pk2 inside baseq2 and manually add to "purepaks.lst" using notepad or wordpad.

remember to disable texture compression in game menu and set mode to rgb8. enjoy !

[mazzyplz]

june-2nd = UPDATE:

www.gigasize.com/get/5wtyf8wzz0b

new shotgun textures!,

fixed compression in other files (terribly sorry),

new gladiator pain skin!,

New bitterman/grunt skin, found in "players/male/grunt.tga"

Quake2XP engine version:
www.gigasize.com/get/9s4wzzfcshf
textures render different in the engines, these brighter more vivid textures might look best in quake2xp, they were too dark and it needed a fix,
thanks to quake2xp author Kirk Barnes for pointing out!!
