[WIP] Cold As Hell: SE (almost done)

Projects that have specifically been abandoned or considered "dead" get moved here, so people will quit bumping them. If your project has wound up here and it should not be, contact a moderator to have it moved back to the land of the living.

There are some technical advantages to using the zip/"pk3" ( :roll: ) structure, if you are using it properly - ie not just throwing WADs into a zip then renaming it but using the proper internal namespaces provided with support of the zip format.

Even then zips should usually be changed to pk3s just so no one tries to unzip them. (Because lets face it, NO ONE is gonna read the readme file.) :P

I'd rather have it the other way around, so that people UNDERSTAND what the package is. Of course I then explain to some people "don't unzip it"...

pk3s are associated with Winzip on my machine because I regularly want to unzip them. :P

Rename to ZIP and see if you still can't.

It doesn't, but I do believe you need to use the pk3/zip structure to use MD2/MD3 models. It certainly makes using them easier, in any case, so when I decided to add some basic MD3s for some of the repetitive scenery, I put the whole thing into a pk3.

The blood splatters are actually separate textures with the blood painted on top of a copy of the original. I used some of Photoshop's default brushes with partial translucency to paint on the splatter. None of the floor splatters are dynamic.

You can open .pk3 files directly from SlumpED too.

To be completely fair, I might just be talking out of my ass, but my reading of the MODELDEFS documentation suggests it requires the pk3/zip directory structure. :)

I'm not sure you can load an MD2/MD3 file into a wad, so I think you're right.

Well, if you are talking out of your ass, your ass is making sense. :)
