Idbase Replacement Textures Released By Starbuck

Well I've finished, finally. These textures replace idbase textures wherever they find them, in their eternal mission to make base levels look sharper and prettier.

Currently there are 300 textures in the gang. They are all TGAs. The plan is to take on one map at a time. So far the maps that have been dominated are:

e1m1 e2m1 e3m1 e4m1 dm3 aerowalk e1m1rmx

Note: These maps are only a few of the manythat work, I haven't had time to check many maps thoroughly. Other maps that look good include Slipstream by Inertia, and Agressor by Tyrann

Sorry for necro, but I just want to say thanks for these retextures. They look great.

Also, are there any other sets that go well with these? I really like that they stick so close to original game.

That should be: "stick so close to the original game."

Hey, thanks! Awesome to hear people are still using these :)
I can't really recommend similar style textures, all the replacement packs I've seen go for more high-def fancy-pants realism than these, where fitting in with the original textures was by far my highest priority.

I notice that the original link is broken though, maybe a mod could please replace the download link in the OP with this one:

and the "QExpo Booth" link with this one:

cheers!

Btw

I did actually start working on other themes, but then my laptop got stolen, and I'd made the wise choice to make no backups whatsoever...

I Am Still Lamenting The Loss Of This One...

Thanks. Yes, the other ones I've tried stray too far from the original look IMO. If there is one single game that doesn't need new graphical bells and whistles, it is Quake. It's forever awesome.

Thanks Generic

I just attempted to rescue the happy demon with some low tech photoshopping... probably still usable! Would still have to be colour matched with the original though:

Cool. :) I was just going to ask if there's any chance that you make take up the project again.
