What are cell shading and decals? Also what is the md3skin folder for in textures in QRack. I don't think I have any md3 models, I know the advantages and structure of md3 models, but am not sure what the folder is for. (Skins/textures for md3 models that I don't have, I assume).

CelShading is a technique that normalizes the lightsource and averages the shading down to just a few levels. So, instead of a smooth surface shadow on the model it chops it up ie hard shadow and looks more like a paintbrush than an airbrush.
Decals are oriented particles that land on a surface thus becoming a mark or blood stain. I have this working but its not stable. At times the game freezes. Plus the decals dont "wrap around" corners and stick out. The blood stains look cool... but not perfect ;) so its disabled in 1.53 until i get it working right. I had the md3 models in the pak0 at onetime.. i should clearout that md3skin folder...
and i think trinca requested this
Quote:
added commandline parameter "-refreshrate <hz>"

example: glQrack.exe -refreshrate 85
This will set the refreshrate to 85hz

added vid_vsync <0/1>

syncs the frame updates with the refresh rate or maximum throuput.
default is ON.

it crashes as soon as i start the game if command line parameter -mem is set to over 236. i use -mem 256( i got 768 mb ram). this didnt happen while it was still joequake pro( version 1.5).
other than that, great improvments :)

dont use the -mem command, its not needed. Qrack uses a virtual mem scheme. It will init only the amount of mem it needs, and will open more as it needs...

Opps, guess i didnt add that to the pak file.

coronas add lens flare like glows to wall torches. Truely was experimental and works fine.

if you create a "coronas" folder in \qrack\textures and add these files to it there (u can create more if u like), and use gl_coronas 1 you will see how they look

i found a bug: if you try to set gl_coronas to a value of 0.x it crashes your Qrack :)

Hey Sputnik, how's it going? Downloading QRack now, looks good from the feature list!

I'll have to bookmark this forum to remind me to stop by more often! ;)

Cheers!

:) sup JT! How's Trident?! I'm so lost in Quake3.
Basically because:

b.> barely played more than 100 hours of the game myself
c.> lack the time to catch up! :O
