I've just opened the equake rar file containing the skyboxes mentionned above (see previous post), and skyboxes are in png format. Furthermore, the end names (i.e _lf, _rt, _bk, _up, _dn, and _ft) are not correct... I'm currently working on thesse files in order to convert all the stuff into .tga format, and also to restore proper end names... I'll post a link with the modified stuff later...

I bet many of these are from Kell. Check his site before you do extra work. ;)

No, none of them are mine. I think a couple of them might be sock's.
The panels are only 256x256, instead of 512 or larger.
Most of them aren't very good either tbh.

.. already done... Nevertheless, I saw, where I found these skyboxes, that Kell's skyboxes are also referenced... I hope it is not coming, or even copyed, from Kell's skyboxes...
Note I didn't verify deeply: I just didn't find any matching names between the 2 sets... ;P
So I apologize a lot in advance if Kell would find something that would be his own work, cause it it is not my intention to stole his talent... ;)
.. I only modifed what I found as is on the internet..
Anyway, here is the link (22Mo file !!):

The Question Is Do All Engines Support It

the answer to that being no. I don't think png support is one of the implied standards.
Png And Jpeg

are both things that would be nice to support, but since they required dlls, i was somewhat reluctant to do it.
However, i realized it's possible to make the dlls optional (disable the feature if dlls missing) so it doesn't sound so bad, then.
But yeah, only pcx and tga supported right now, and not very well either (no way to override liquids, or sprites, or skins, or HUD elements etc.) Plus I think there's a bug with some tgas being loaded upside-down.

Cars, interiors, products, everyhing from the 50s. Pretty cool "sci-fi" stuff there.

totally beautiful. I hate most modern cars because everything seems too look too generic and functional.
I wonder if that style will come back at all. I think Dodge may have made a couple of interesting cars with a 50s influenced look, but I can't think of any others.
Not a 50s or car buff though, so what do I know? ;)

This is an extensive set of pictures along the LA River which you may recognize from Terminator 2 and other TV shows and movies. I bet any money that the guys from HL2 were checking these out when they were doing the boat chase stuff :)

cool. Quake 4's Aqueducts were a bit like that, minus the water (and interesting gameplay ;))

ok, they're just going out of their way to make LA depressing.
