Title: Disabling/Substituting Models
Post by: nikki on August 11, 2008, 11:31:27 PM
Hello!

I recently switched over to Linux, and I was looking for some games, and found this. I'm on a vacation, so have a laptop without a jazzy graphics card, and it seems OpenArena somehow runs pretty well on it.

I was playing for a while and I suddenly saw a spider-like model. I have a little fear of spiders, and it was spoiling my concentration.

Is there anyway to disable it, or substitute it with another model?

Thanks a lot for the great game!

ps. I'm a hobbyist programmer too, check out a game I made (Windows only) at the GraLL site (http://www.grall.uni.cc/).

The spider (Arachna) is part of the mature models pack, which can be renamed to be disabled (renamed from .pk3 to pk)

Ok, I've done that, but would that stop me from playing on servers which require this pack, or have players using models from that pack?

Yes, renaming this would keep you from joining pure servers (which would need the pk3s to match).

You can also set "force player models" on (in Setup -> Game Options), which makes everyone (including yourself) the default Grism character.

you can also just type cg_forcemodel "1" in console.
