Are there any sites that have free textured meshes you can dl for use in UT3 maps, kind of like prefab sites?

Why would free meshes be illegal?

Anyway ... Jago, I don't think so. Although that's not a bad idea for a site to start up though. Heh. I think the problem there is that it's a lot of work to create meshes with proper materials that look great so people probably aren't going to want to give them away for free.

What you might do is look for UT3 maps that have custom content in them that you like. Download those and (assuming they haven't been cooked) you might be able to use their custom meshes in your own levels. 

Was a comment on the pro-DRM crowd here. 

does one even exist? ;) 

Has free meshes of various types, but you'd have to convert them to whatever format UT3 uses and most are probably fridges or mobile phones.

Don't be an idiot. CHOOSE NON-FUCKTARDERY. 

How legal or ethical would that be though? Sounds alot like stealing (as long as you don't have the authors authorisation). 

If the readme for the level allows it, go for it. Otherwise contact the author and see if they're OK with it. Done. 

This isn't really a mapping problem but it's close enough to not warrant a new thread.

Does anyone know what wad(s) these textures belong to? (they are found in gmsp3 map)

The window glass is from DKT.wad but I'm interested in the frame. Thanks, in advance. 

but the window frame looks like it's from the 'middle evil' map. 

i think they were custom-made for that level, but obviously were based on some existing artwork (window frame from middle evil, stained glass from original quake wads, etc.)

anyone know of a command for fitz or aguirre's quake to dump data from the console to a text file? I want to dump edicts data since it a. doesn't fit into the console buffer and b. is not fun to search manually. 

Just run the game with -condebug (add it to your shortcut) and it should automatically log all console output to a file. Can't remember the file name or the location but I'm sure you'll find it! 

A save game spot is nothing more than a report of the game state at a particular time, and fortunately it is done in ascii and not binary. Just quick save a spot, change that .sav file into a .txt one, and you are golden. 

thanks. That worked a treat.

The file is called qconsole.log and appears in the directory the current progs is located in (e.g. ID1 or Quoth) 

my bad, you are looking for the back text for the
console, then what I mentioned wont be very useful. 

If than is doing what I think he's doing (long output of an edicts command), then the savegame method would also work just as well : - ) 

Pretty useful. 

the log file write was really damn slow in fitz when I called the edicts command. Took 5-10 seconds for quake to become responsive again. I guess the savegame method is faster :) 

I was wondering how far the restrictions of licences are. Nowadays quake1 is far concerned free to play with, as with all the monsters in it.

But when I create a monster, which has properties that look close to the Quake3 world and is not suported licence free, can I still publish them?

This for the monster bones I created. And although there are lot of parts I had to recompile, it still asambles a monster of the Q3 world. Therefore I am not licenced to publish it.

Not that I want to light up this licence war again, I just want to be sure before I publish a map with it, and get backed off again because I had to know this fact.
