Anyone else getting this error on the first map?

Mod_LoadTexinfo: 90 texture(s) missing from BSP file
Host_Error: Mod_LoadModel: 9 not found 

Well I'm done with modelling my octopush, but my skin file gets twisted. Maybe it is my configuration.

Here is the creature, I added a qc :

I'm not sure bit in game my skinfile gets ruined. Has to do something with the odd size 68x616. 

that is divisable by 16, 64x560 or something like this. 

The height limit for skins in GLQuake is 480. 

I lowered it already to 64x306 but it doesn't matter. The half size picks up the black outlines.

I think it's the result of my chasm UV flipping. 

Skin width must be divisible by 4. Your skin is 614x68.
273 frames of animation is also pushing it. 

Yeh, lots of frames. I should stick to the 255.
I'll ook for the size again.

Thanks for the hints! 

Very nice octopussy Madfox. It can be tricky to keep track of animating all those tentacles, nicely done.

Anyway, here is a Quake model to have a gander at:
To liberate your wild curiosity 

Thanks, indeed it has a tricky foot. Although I think the shoulder parts a bit frozen. I would like to go for a sliding ball as sienna can get very flexible.

Good model, it is more realistic than I would fight avant-garde with. But beatific skin setting.

I'm eagerly searching for that dust appearance after making some sprites myself.
Do you have an idea how it is done? 

Madfox, for this scene the gun smoke and dust are models with scaling and position keyframed, along with the alpha blend shader. These models have only one single skin so there is no sprite animation. The effect is achieved by key-framing these three attributes:

A closer look

The model skins can be converted to sprites with AdQuedit 1.3. You can spawn these sprites as temp entities on the correct frame in code. You can also give the sprites a self.alpha for each frame.

Here are my smoke and dust alphas already in Quake palette as an example:

I was already amazed by the way you had that alpha on the pinetree. I see your aproach is different than mine.
I see you're using Blender to make these attitudes. I never managed to get my model in it, but it looks good seeing it is possible.

Only way I can use sprites is with an alpha screen on tiff file. Other extentions loose the transparant quality.

AdQuedit, I used it once to change the hub files. Didn't know it had that ability. 

Actually it's Bal:

and quite good for learning pruposes too! 

Right in the motivation package...

Just kidding, that stuff is awesome :D 

they aren't released maps, or are they? I wanted to check the texture set of this map: http://born-robotic.net/spog/thumbnails/isntanttele.gif
It suits the maps i am making lately. 

It's for a future release. 

Cocerello, I think they are from Makkon's textures:

Thanks. Yeah, they are the same ones: even though it is hard to see details on the .gif, with the name i tracked them back to the source, on Twitter, and found the release post and later Bal showing some screenshots of that map to Makkon.

Surprisingly they look a lots less sharp on the map than on the .wad, which makes me think if Bal edited them a bit ... also because they are 178Mbytes and the textures for detail are all together into a single picture.

And, by the way, is there another repository for .wad files like Quaddicted or Quaketastic now? I have seen some new textures for Quake in the last years but no new files on either of them. 

Finally sealed that bad boy.

I'm cautiously optimistic about meeting the Xmas Jam 2021 deadline now. 

Made in Quest??? 

Just needs a proper skybox, some fog, and nice coloured lights.
