How to replace "boom01.md3"

[Herr W]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to replace the rocket explosion's model (in my opinion models/weaphits/boom01.md3) by a cartoonier one, but no matter what kind of model I try to bring into the game, it still appears the same flat plane or sprite.

I did the same with the bullet explosion (models/weaphits/bullet.md3) and it worked without any problem. - Strange...

By your mention of .md3, I think you mean Quake 3, and not Quake 1/2?

If thats the case, the explosion isn't an actual model, its an animated sprite. The bullet impact is a model in Q3, so when you replaced it, it would work like you imagine. However to replace the explosion effect in Quake 3, you must edit the textures in "models/weaphits/rlboom/*.*"".

Keep in mind you wont be able to change the model unless you mod it in (I think?) so you will just be working with an animated sprite.

"Mod it in" means I had to alter something in the source code, right? - Pooh, better not, I'm really bad in that!

(But I'm pretty sure a cartooney "boom"-animation should bring a good result, too)

Thank you, guys!

BTW: Can someone tell me, where the "sprites/explode1/fs2-*"-explosion from pak6 is used?
