The issue is the player colours on the skin. The Quake 8bit pallete has a set of colours defined as "pants" and "shirt" colours, which are palette shifted to match the player's colours. Darkplaces supports _pants and _shirt files to define these areas, but most engines don't.

Then you're doing it wrong. Save the player model high res skin as player.mdl_0.tga in your id1/progs folder and it will work in DarkPlaces. _________________ Apathy Now!

i have about a hundred tgas that work in quake\mod\progs, but no luck with the player model. DP uses the tgas fine for every other model EXCEPT for the player model. same with aguirre quake

Works fine with id1/progs/player.mdl_0.tga in Darkplaces for me. For aguirRe's glquake I had no luck though (neither player_0.tga) _________________ Quake Maps

All i can think of is that the mod you're using might be using a different skin number on the player model. _________________ Apathy Now!

aye depends a bit on the naming convention player.mdl_0.tga is tenebrae style and not very widespread im affraid i think only other engine that uses it is dp rest looks for player_0.tga if i recall correctly. aquires engine doesnt have external textures on by default could be that if not sorry for my babbling hehe.
