When downloading the terminator.3ds file I thought it would look good in Quake. Bad thing it has that many triangles.
So I remeshed it and added some new subposes.
Now it has more the look of a Quake2 entity.

terminator 

It seems fitzquake085 doesn't like its highcount verts.
817 vrts/ 1968 trs. It just shuts down.
Quakespasm runs fine. Didn't see that coming. 

I thought you were talking about THE Terminator, as in "I'll be back"... That's a model you made? I like its very steampunk look. I think it may go well with ogres and knights in metal maps. 

Lots of details go lost. As you can see the original is more challeging. So no. It's no schwarzenegger.

I got it from a free download site Space Marine Battle Group.
I neede some models for a space mod. 

I think it's WH40k terminator :D 

You can totally see the original model is from Warhammer. Your textures (I assume you did the texturing yourself) give it a completely different feel, though, much more quakey. 

Back when I first got into Quake I played a lot of a mod called Chapter Honour, which recreated 40k 2nd edition in the engine. It was a really weird idea actually, you had the movement mechanics of a normal FPS but the combat resolution was all random dice rolls according to the tabletop game rules. But it had all the space marine models including a low poly terminator:

This is actually one of the earliest skins I ever did for quake, although I didn't make the mesh. 

Tried to find out if the mod was still available somewhere. Is this it?
I found it on a site dedicated to... the Amiga! 

That's the one. Worth noting that although you can play it in single player it's supposed to be a multiplayer game, and there aren't any bots so it might be a bit tricky to really experience it.

Also you won't really have any of the maps - although I still do have a folder with some of the more popular ones - I can upload if there's interest. They are real products of their time though - it would be generous to suggest that they are stylised representations of the appearance of wargaming terrain... 

But I guess some might be interested. 

That looks good, Preach. Really a fine skin tex.
It took me days to color the thing.
No plans to use the mesh for a Q1 entity?

I watched the gif files on the site, after I had animated them.
Then I reminded I forgot it's mighty hand swing.
Another strange thing is, that when I visited the site a few years ago,
the downloads were 3ds.
Now it are replacements one can use to update the game.

So it is Warhammer.., mugwmp.
I had the idea it was something like Command&Conqerer. Funny to see such a hughe monster change to such a tiny piece on the board. 

As I am working on a new SP-unit for Quake 2 in time for its 20th anniversary, you can if you want see some of the screenshots from it here:

Not sure how torches fit in the über technological world of Q2 though. At any rate, the flame looks a bit too orange and lacks brightness at the bottom. Points for effort. 

Quake was the sequel to Quake 2? 

Wow, nice work, quakeulf! Looks surprisingly and impressively Quake-ey for Q2.

This and Citadel make me want to get Q2 up and running again... 

There's nothing wrong with torches in a cave. Ignore Mug on this one.

flames look good
other shots look fucking awesome 

The skin looks a bit too simple and comicy, needs some darker ("vertical") parts like the Quake flames. 

Since I am making use of only Quake 2's internal textures for this to make it as vaniller as possible (meaning you don't have to do anything except for putting the maps in the "maps"-folder and start the game by typing in the mapname or click the shortcut), I have had to make the most out of what is already there.

If anyone can point me to a better texture let me know. 

I think it's really cool precisely for that reason. 

Fires have different characteristics depending on a bunch of factors. There must be large concentrations of Calcium Chloride in the atmosphere on Stroggos!

Go with your vanilla textures. I think you're smart to make this as accessible as possible to a great many owners of the game. 

Here is a new screen from my AD map Paradise Sickness:

There is a lighting issue that maybe you can spot: The pillar on the right is both a detail brush, with the upper portion being a breakable designed to shatter. The lighting seems to split exactly where the detail brush and breakable meet. The breakable works fine but the lighting is wonky. Can anything be done? Should I make the lower portion a breakable that is immune to damage maybe? In this case why does the breakable appear "darker" than the detail brush?

Any help appreciated, thanks! 

I'm not sure what's causing that, could be a bug in the light tool.
One thing you can try is set "_shadow" "-1" on both the func_detail and func_breakable to stop them from casting shadows, in case the func_detail is casting a shadow on the func_breakable somehow.

Another option is to change the solid part of the pillar into a func_wall and set "_shadowworldonly" "1" on both the func_wall and func_breakable, this will make both parts still cast shadows, but only on the world (not each other). This is a new key in the 0.15.10 version of my tools
