Just a thought... for the sake of an early version being released sooner rather than later, one could take this approach while we don't have .wad's available: just compile the GPL'd Quake maps without the .wad (or with whatever bits of wads that are available) and use external textures from a retexturing project.

Yeah it would exclude older engines like WinQuake and GLQuake, but it'd get things rolling faster.

Or you could just quickly make wads out of downsampled retextures Smile

I wonder how that would look actually, in an old engine

Answer: Rather nasty, I tried doing some with Fimg a couple of months ago. The problem with downsizing and reducing the colors is the important details of the image tend to get lost. It may have just been the textures I tried though, Fat Controller's downsampling of the Quake 3 textures looked nice, iirc.

The retexturing project derives from some Quake textures, trademarks and is a license mess so I wouldn't go near that for a "lazy" approach.

Don't waste your time. Most of the cases high-resolution textures look like crap when downsampled to the 8-bit Quake palette.

The way CheapAlert is doing is much slower but is the Right Thing(tm). AFAIK all the original Quake artwork was made directly in 8 bits.

I find myself wondering what tool you're using to import these graphics into the game!

If someone wants to contribute a texture, what format and dimensions should it be in before it's given to Cheapy, .pcx? I'm thinking of doing a little texture artistry for this thing.

same exact resolution and color depth as the originals. Being different would obviously break compatibility.

made the gfx look more quakey
