Post subject:  Reference: JoeQuake folder structure (plus where to find)
BASE FILES

Code:
c:\quake                      Where joequake-gl.exe and joequake.exe go!
c:\quake                      Where dzip.exe and fmod.dll go!
c:\quake\joequake             Where joequake pak0.pak (with the flame0.mdl in it) go
c:\quake\joequake             Where demos and screenshots you made will appear


dzip.exe (dzip page) allows JoeQuake to play .dz compressed Quake demo files.
fmod.dll is for Nehahra (Nehahra page), a Quake expansion episode

CUSTOM TEXTURES, LITS, ETC.

Everything here can also go in c:\quake\id1 instead of c:\quake\joequake if you choose. The advantage of quake\id1 is that other engines can use the files, so it's just 1 install. The advantage of c:\quake\joequake is that you are doing all your customization in a single folder.

Code:
c:\quake\joequake\env         Skyboxes (loadsky command to load)
c:\quake\joequake\gfx         Console graphics (menu, console backgrounds, etc.)
c:\quake\joequake\progs       Models (v_rock2.mdl, for example)
c:\quake\joequake\textures    24 Bit Textures
c:\quake\joequake\lits        Colored lights (.lit)
..OR c:\quake\id1\maps\lits   Colored lights (.lit)


Skyboxes -- loaded with loadskybox --- can be found various places, here are 3 sources:

Kell's site: http://kell.spawnpoint.org/q3skyboxes.html
FuhQuake page: http://www.fuhquake.net/files/extras/fu ... yboxes.zip
Simland: http://www.planetquake.com/simland/pages/materials.htm


Weapon models, a couple of sources:

Quote:
http://downloads.teqnohaxor.com/quake/paks (Quake3 weapons for Q1, Dox TF Military Guns, etc).
http://members.optusnet.com.au/~plagues ... k%20DM.zip
http://www.kolumbus.fi/ruohis/models.htm


(Note, if the weapons are in a pak file, rename the new pak as the next unused number in sequence in your joequake folder, like pak1.pak or pak2.pak. If you don't want all the weapons or don't want to be using pak files, you can use Pak Explorer which can be obtained from QuakeTerminus's Tools Section (top file listed).)

Characters sets -- loaded with loadcharset. Beware, if the charset is 512 x 512, use a 50% console resolution as in c:\quake\joequake-gl.exe -width 640 -height 320 -conwidth 320 -conheight 240 otherwise the characters won't be displayed nice and neat. If the character set is 1024x1024, use 25% console resolution. One great source:

http://web.telia.com/~u47016112/quake/graphics.html

Colored lights (.lit), one source for colored lights:

http://www.fuhquake.net/files/extras/fuhquake-lits.rar (it's in WinRAR format)

Code:
c:\quake\joequake\textures             // general textures (any map, water, lava, ..)
c:\quake\joequake\textures\bmodels     // brush model textures (.bsp files like ammo boxes)
c:\quake\joequake\textures\charsets    // custom character sets (loadcharset to load)
c:\quake\joequake\textures\models      // textures for alias models (backpacks, monsters, weapons)
c:\quake\joequake\textures\particles   // smoke, rocket trails, etc.
c:\quake\joequake\textures\wad         // hud elements (aka statusbar)
c:\quake\joequake\textures\(map name)  // textures to use for a specific map
c:\quake\joequake\textures\dm6         // textures in this folder would only be used for DM6


Note: JoeQuake does not support the textures/exmy folder or textures/dmx folder.

NAMING CONVENTIONS FOR THE MODELS TEXTURES/SKINS

As a rule of thumb, this is the model name with a "_0.png" or "_0.tga" on the end. A nice reference for the model names is at:

Other notes:

1. JoeQuake can use either .png or .tga files as textures.
2. The above information applies to QRack too, and where you see "quake\joequake" just substitute "quake\qrack".
3. Most of the above can be found in Yellow No. '5 Textures pack (monster skins, textures, weapon mdls, etc) and other sources.
4. For textures and other similar items, there are threads in this forum with those. Usually Texture is in the title of the thread, for instance.
5. The player model can have a 24 bit skin, but gl_nocolors 1 must be used and this means that opposing players will not have different colors.

pssst, I think Baker is alittle fed up with all our newb questions on textures and stuff :twisted:

Great Reference Baker. Don't forget that you can actually bypass the gl_nocolors 1 by using QME. I'm using the q3ranger skin. If anyone knows of another skin similar to the quake soldier, let me know. The q3ranger is kinda sketchy looking with bright red or blue colours :P

Nah. Actually, I'm like Ranger.

I believe things should be thoroughly documented and that information should be readily available and decided that some of those questions were a good enough reason to spend a few minutes and get information better organized.

Joszef has done a great job documenting things and combined with information derived how Yellow organized his texture pack, I wanted to consolidate the info into a single post and make it accessible for everyone.
