Well, the player never gets to use a single barrel nailgun, so we could assume that's what it looks like.

Here's the Ogre model skin:

The two strips on right must've been used for his horns. 

Those screenshots are vertically stretched.

Here's them with the correct aspect ratio. 

Here's the original source for these screenshots:

I was actually replying to #29850 in my last reply.

Here's the original source for these screenshots
Yes, and I just corrected the image aspect of those screenshots to 4:3 square pixels, since Quake was developed for 4:3 CRT monitors with non-square pixels.

day scene
night scene (this one's cooler)

I was watching some Sea of Thieves gameplay this evening and felt compelled to play around in DP/q3map2. I grabbed a couple textures from google and slapped these together. Granted there isn't much going on in those shots, but performance is pretty good (around 400 fps @ 1080p).

I'd like to make a pretty, cheerful and humorous adventure game someday. All this time in gloomy crypts and mournful ruins has me longing for some levity :/ 

that nighttime skybox looks cool, the clouds are very stylish/cartoony. 

Brightly lit egyptian / ikwhite theme Q1 SP full of murderous monsters and brutal carnage?? 

 

@metl - yeah, it's sweet. I think I got it and some others from the unity asset store for like $5.

@shambler - I was thinking more along the lines of a 'pirate' themed, semi open world shoot n' loot with a Blizzard-esque aesthetic. This is actually something I've wanted to do for a while now.

@nitin - I think so too. I'm a sucker for bright colors and video game water. 

So Assassins Creed Black Flag meets Torchlight 2 from an FPS perspective. Something for your forthcoming game engine..... 

I'd play the shit out of a Quake map pack / TC in a cartoon fantasy style like Torchlight or other lighthearted RPG's.

I think hand painted textures like this would work pretty well:

Go for it. Seems that whatever you touch turns to awesome. Looking good. 

@shambler - TL2's light rpg elements would fit well in an old school fps with a little more streamlining imo.

@iriyap - same here.

@qmaster - thank you, good sir! 

Looking at the ogre art/models above I am reminded of a custom ogre that is Madfox's excellent Fourfeather:

The new ogre in this map does seem to resemble these models, I wonder is it an original or are these models available somewhere - Madfox? I'm going to guess he made it because of all the other custom stuff in the map (Bender!)

Also,
@killpixel - looks awesome. For some reason the art style in those videos reminds me of the Rayman universe. 

To answer my own question, it seems that in the readme for Fourfeather the ogres are based on the ones in QuakeTest with some modification. So it is indeed a model of an alternative ogre design. A cool piece of Quake history. 

Hope everyone is well, has a full belly and some nice presents I’m good company. 

God dammit. 

 

Happy Holidays! 

Happy Holidays! 

Happy Holidays. Thx for all the hard work on TB! A gift all year round. 

are these models available somewhere

Yes, they are. I reassembled some files together and left it on Quaketastic. For defense they needed the Rubicon files, so it's a bit hard to extract them.
It's allso the one that's used in QuakeReMake.
