Question: Can I use converted Quake Enhanced mdl files? #166

Closed somatzu closed 1 year ago

somatzu commented 1 year ago

This person has converted the Quake Enhanced md5 models to mdl [https://www.quaddicted.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1017]. I tried loading them in Ironwail but no luck. I have them in a progs folder in id1. Just want to know if it's even possible what to replace the stock mdls with these.

This is my favorite port! Thanks!

Did you ever find out if the models work in Ironwail?

Hey, sorry, I somehow missed this. Yes, those mdl files should work just fine, the problem is with Quake's odd rule that files in pak's have priority over loose files, so simply placing the mdl's in a progs folder in id1 won't work, they need to be added to a pakN.pak file in id1, where N is the largest existing pak number + 1.

Thank you for your response! I ended up figuring it out and it was just as you explained. If anyone is looking for a good pak viewer, pakscape is what I used.
