DCEmulation

Just to inform you:
It's possible to add new maps (models) to Quake 3.
I am working on a map / model converter.
The maps can be played on or offline.

I hope it's not against the rules of the forum to post this, if it's against rules please delete or edit my post.

I suppose it's okay to talk about so long as you're not providing illegal files; the morality of it is that you're probably doing it on a warezed copy. I'll let Fragger decide since I'm just not sure.

ok thx.

In my opinion it is not a problem as long as you don't provide any copyrighted files and don't talk about how to rip the data from the GD-ROM. I'll let you know if the rest of the staff is OK with this.

it's not as easy as slipping in new pk3s is it

The textures must be converted to PVR. Dunno if there's anything else to do; the MD3 files seems to be identical to the PC versions.

Yeah,
the md3 files are identical to pc version.
conversion:
textures -> pvr
sound (wav) -> adp

All the stuff needed to be placed into the right zips.

The needed weapons have to be put into the map folder.
The shaders have to be added to the shaders.txt file.

That's a rough guide.

I will do a better one later, but I have to ask Fragger what I am allowed to post...

wondered why nobody else did it before ...

Sorry for my english.


Can you post some gameplay pics? Do you really know how it to make?




What about additional dc textures and ui lcd?
QUAKE3\BASEQ3\MODELS\PLAYERS\GRUNT\SPLASH_DEFAULT.PVR and QUAKE3\BASEQ3\MODELS\PLAYERS\GRUNT\LOD_0.zip\ui\lcd in example... IMHO, aifile must been added too...



If you simply will convert all needed textures to pvr & sound to yamaha ADPCM and put model into QUAKE3\BASEQ3\MODELS\PLAYERS\Your_model_name It cannot will appear in game if you don't change config in 1st_read.bin.

I know it.



Look what it looks and what the dimsmensions of the SPLASH_DEFAULT.PVR are, make a new one with modelname_DEFAULT.PVR e.g.: homer_DEFAULT.PVR. But you have to change the model folder to new model name and in the Lod_0.zip - Lod_2.zip you have to change the folder name, otherwise they won't be found.
The lcd file can be edited via hexeditor, or use a lcd maker and change header and values for black and white like the Quake II lcd one.



You can change map and model via console.
e.g.:
;raster 1
;map dc_Dc_map12

if you are in a game (multiplayer,..).

I hope this helps.
Currently my time is very limited and I won't be at my home until sunday.
But if there are questions, feel free to post.

I thought about doing this a loong time ago. But when I made my backup I could never get it to boot. I spent a couple weeks trying to make a working backup from scratch for myself. I probibly went through 25+ cdrs. (back when they were like $0.75-1.00 each for decent ones) The files looked really incourageing too...

Since I could never get a regular backup to boot I never bothered actually modifying it. Good work on someone finally getting to work on this

I've just released OA 0.6.0, anyone thinking about giving it a try?

I'm curious to see how it'd perform on the dreamcast

give me a break, this looks to be the same and people don't call it a cheap effect or a fraud. What did I do to deserve this?

Everyone is free to share something, however little, insignificant, or cheap, provided that they don't act like a dick about it.

I was just wondering if any work has been completed with this? I have my quake 3 already ripped and I have access to all the contents on it, but I want to replace every model with half-life and every level with half-life. Is it possible to change the menu and sounds too? Maybe to the point that the game will be a rplica of the long lost half-life multiplayer?
