Modelling Help\Screenshots\Requests
It has always been difficult to get decent models for quake 1. So a thread where people can get advice on making models and post a work-in-progress for critiques is long overdue.

Any requests for models may well get met with silence. Specific requests will likely stand a better chance; "I'd really like a knight but carrying a shield" might be better received than "we need a mdler to join our mod remaking counter-strike for darkplaces".

New Version Of Qmdl 0.4 
Just to wind up the person who downloaded it last week, a new version of qmdl just went up.

http://tomeofpreach.wordpress.com/2014/10/26/qmdl-v0-4/

Main feature is support for the Md3 format, weirdly enough. Along with a module to load Md3 files there's a script that recreates md3tomdl in python. That latter bit's not in a user-friendly way at all right now - even the paths to the source files are hard-coded. Think of it as a proof of concept.

It is probably the bit I'm gonna rework for the next release though, as it'll provide lots of flexibility that md3tomdl.exe can't deliver. Stuff like being able to change the way coordinates are mapped (perhaps to keep integer vertex coordinates), or to combine the separate UV maps of different surfaces in a creative way, will be made possible. The kind of stuff that's simpler to express in code than any amount of command line switches.

Also there's a few other nice bits of polish for the mdl side of things. The Mdl class has two new generators basic_frames and basic_skins. These let you iterate over all the "poses" in a model, treating framegroups as a succession of individual frames. This fixed the issue that the Helper module's merge_vertices method failed on a model with a framegroup. 
Chequered Past... 
Up on the blog today is a texture to use as a placeholder while you make your model. It has features so you can see where your UV map is distorted, and check the pixel density is consistent (or at least being used as intended). What makes it different to the hundreds of similar textures already available? It's in the Quake palette, of course!

Check it out in action and download it from

I tried the opposite of that, porting the quake textures onto the minecraft png.

But got distracted by other stuff. 
Texture MineQ MAJ 
 
Recreate the retail Quake levels with this theme, that would be cool. 
MineQ 
First i finish this pack texture but good idear. Why not :).

I have for project to create models ennemies minecraft in quake "creeper, skelletor, enderdragon for boss..."

And why not model axe to minecraft sword. I see that later. 
You Are In An Ambivalent Place 
For Minecraft, but I like those. I'm guessing the wood near the lava isn't really wood.

The images also point out the problem I had - Minecraft is material based stone = stone floor. For quake, there are lots of floors made from stone. So choosing which to use was what made me give up / do something else.

Also, metl - I clicked the like link above but it didn't work?

Should I post in Site Help?

needs more GL_NEAREST_MIPMAP_LINEAR

come on, get yer pickles together man 
Yes 
Or else you'll be in a bit of a pickle. 
 
c'mon guys, don't be sour about it.

I mustard mitt that a map jam along the lines of "set grid to 32, and no non-orthogonal angles allowed" could be quite the lol.

I understand what you're trying to tell me ...

Awesome!!!
