Modelling Help\Screenshots\Requests
It has always been difficult to get decent models for quake 1. So a thread where people can get advice on making models and post a work-in-progress for critiques is long overdue.

Any requests for models may well get met with silence. Specific requests will likely stand a better chance; "I'd really like a knight but carrying a shield" might be better received than "we need a mdler to join our mod remaking counter-strike for darkplaces".

One Point Two Already 
That's some rapid development!!!

From the changelog:

- Restored the startup demo sequence.
- Brought back the nozzles that were removed from the barrel tips of the nailgun (view model).
- Fixed fullbright seams on the view model of the super nailgun. 
Damn, That Was Quick! 
New link added to the QuakeOne page. 
Weather Report 
Knowing there's already weather additions to Quakespasm I continued my own versions with a static mdl file.
These were made with a one mdl file on a 512x512 surface.

rain
snow 
 
I think you should make snow with sprites instead. It's weird to see non-flat snowflakes, and you could use an actual snowflake texture for the sprites. As is, they look more like hail.

As for rain, if it's possible you should make it transparent to prevent this icicle look.

Good job anyway. 
Isn't Abyss Of Pandemonium's Code Open Now? 
It has rain and droplets when it hits the ground, maybe you should look into that 
Skin Addition Utility 
Does anyone know if there is a simple skin utility to add skins to a quake 1 .mdl file? Adquedit doesn't seem to be loading the palette correct anymore for me. 
 
Quake Model Editor 
 
Thanks Dwere, I'm using your grenade launcher and axe models now. That hand was pretty well done. 
Cool, Thanks 
 
 
I did that "refactoring" I was talking about.

Tweaks must be very subtle at this point, not sure what's changing! 
 
A pixel here, a pixel there.

Well, it's not that subtle, but, honestly, I don't even remember what I did between the latest versions, other than v_nail barrels being redone almost from scratch.

They look more or less the same though.

Really, 90% of my time I'm dealing with compatibility crap instead of improving the artistic aspect. Rant rant rant. 
 
Hah fair enough. It would be nicer to have one set of models really. Loving the models, using them mostly as the defaults now. 
I Don't Suppose Anyone Would Be Willing To Share Pre-installed QME3.1? 
 
 
Check Quaddicted. 
They Only Have The Installer Which Doesn't Work On Win7 
 
 
Try running the installer in compatibility mode.

Right click > Properties > Compatibility

Check the box and select an old version of Windows (probably 95 or 98/ME)

or use Compatibility Troubleshooter:

Right click > Troubleshoot Compatibility 
 
The Quaddicted 3.1 Lite download is a .zip file.

I use Win 7, all the executables in the .zip file run without doing anything except clicking them.

What specific file QME 3.1 file is not running? 
 
My guess was that the installer in qme30_full_installer.zip was the problem.

Often with older software the installer is more picky about the version of Windows than the program it's installing.

I have a strong dislike of programs that insist they must be "installed" and avoid them as much as possible. 
The Lite Version Says It Has Restrictions Though? 
 
@dwere 
These new weapon models are great! Not really a fan of the new g_rock (grenade item model) but oh well.

I'll start making new skins for the Mispack2 (rogue) weapons unless you've already started to. 
Thanks 
Folks at Quakeone already made alternative skins for both mission packs. I still want to make my own versions, eventually, but I haven't started yet.

Not really a fan of the new g_rock (grenade item model) but oh well.

I just didn't know what to do with the old design to make it appealing to me, so I started from scratch (not counting a little bit of Q3 for inspiration). 
It's All In The Retro 
I ran the installer in my '98 VM and it went through fine, then I ran the patch so now it says it's 3.1 preview 2. Am I allowed to post a link here? I zipped up the results and I can upload them somewhere if you're still interested Qmaster.

If I were to upload it, what would be a good file host that isn't likely to serve ads or dissappear in the near future. I noticed the http://www.quaketastic.com/ link at the top of Screenshots and Betas, would that be alright? 
Yes Please, Quaketastic Is Fine
