Introduction
The original intent for Teams in Quake III: Team Arena was to allow the use
and creation of new Teams. However, it was not until community modelers attempted
to build new teams that we discovered that the hooks that we put in place for
team creation did not work as intended. This point release contains the fixes
and additions necessary to make new teams work.
This document presupposes
that the person wanting to create a new team already knows the basics of
creating, animating, and skinning new character models for Quake III Arena.
There are numerous good tutorials on-line covering both the basics and the
more in-depth skills needed to make models that work inside the game.
Special Thanks
The content used to test and debug the team creation code is based on a test
model provided and made “Team Arena compatible” by Bill and Mike Jukes,
a.k.a. “The Brothers Grimm” and a re-skinning of the original Team Arena Callisto head model provided by artist Camilla “milla” Bennett. Also thanks to milla
for providing the .html version of this document. Names of some of the files
used in examples have been changed. Furthermore, thanks go to Graeme Devine,
Robert Duffy, and MrElusive for putting up with
semi-constant harassment to get the team content working for the point
release.

The Team Pak File
It takes a surprisingly large amount of new content to create an entirely new
team. Our test file contained 186 separate files (model included only one
head). An additional head added another 16 files (we tested with only one
extra head model). The content required covers every discipline of game
creation … skin painting, scripting, modeling, and sound production. In fact,
if the new team is to have new voice taunt sounds, it can easily exceed 10
megabytes in compressed form inside the pak file.
Each of the files necessary to create a team is listed below in outline and
will be discussed later in detail. The paths for these files begin in the missionpack directory. Appendix J
contains the file list for the test team, Appendix K
shows a team with the bare minimum of files needed to create a new team with
a male and female uniform, and Appendix L contains the
file list for the Callisto/Lily test head.
Naming Conventions
When naming a pak file that contains the assets for
a new team, preface the team name with the letters
“tm_”. This usage is for organizational purposes only. It is done to identify
the pak as a team file. Example: tm_kreechurs.pk
Including What id Didn’t Make
You don’t need to include any of the game content
that id put in the original pak0.pk3 that shipped with Team Arena. The game
should have no problem finding those assets if they are called for by the new
team. Any new assets created for the team need to be in the pak file. Any assets created by other artists or authors
for use with Team Arena need to be in the pak file.
The team creator cannot assume that players will have those assets in their
possession. When including assets created by others, including modified id
game content, be sure to give notice of original
authorship in the readme that accompanies the pakfile.
Teamname_readme.txt
This text file tells all about the contents of your new team, including who
made it, how they can reach the author, who else contributed to the project,
what tools were used, how long it took, when it was released (copyright data
goes here), where the ideas came from, and so on. Essentially, it should
contain whatever the team creator wants to reveal about himself
or herself and the process of making the team. Any resources that were
created by others should be acknowledged here. If the team creator agrees to
let others use the original contents of the pak
file in other projects, it should be noted here also, along with any special
terms or contact information.
NOTE: The scripts used to create the
various aspects of the new team are included throughout this document. Team
creators have permission to copy the scripts in this document and paste them
into new scripts for use in original teams. Details such as team name,
character names, and bot names should be changed to
fit the new team.
TOP
Scripts
Priority: Unless otherwise noted, all of the scripts listed below are
required to be in the team pak file (see Appendix K: A Minimal Team, for a detailed list of the
contents required for a basic team using existing models).
These are the various
scripts used to define the team and model characteristics.
Teamname.team (in root directory) : A text file that defines the components of the team. This file
corresponds to the original team.txt file in pak0.pk3. It is required for all
new teams. See Appendix B for details.
Teamname.bot (scripts\) : This file defines the resources
used by the five bots that are used by the team in single player (model, head_model, and bot a.i.). It is required for all new teams. See Appendix A for details.
Teamname.shader (scripts\) : Shader
scripts for all shaders used to create the new_model and the five new_headmodels.
This is required for the team icons to work properly in game. Other shader-modified textures may be included. See Appendix G for the sample version of this shader.
Animation.cfg (models\players\newmodel\) : The animation configuration file.
Team Arena models have a few a few more animation sequences than their Q3A
counterparts, but the basics are the same. The contents of a sample Q3:TA animation.cfg are included
at the end of this document. It’s a script, but not
one that’s resident in the scripts file. This is
only required if a new model is included in the pak.
New_model.voice (scripts\) : This is the script that assigns
individual voice wav files to specific message or status commands. See
Appendix C for a sample script and discussion of its use. Voice files are
optional and only required if an entirely new set of voice wav files is to be
included in the pak. Sound files are large and can
add significantly to the size of the pakfile. If
creating a human-based team, consider using the 8 voices that came with Team
Arena to save file space.
New_headmodel_1.vc
(scripts\) : This file selects which .voice file is linked to a head
file. Each head model in the pak needs one of
these. A separate version of this file is required for each new headmodel included with the team. The name of the file is
the same as the name of the bot that uses the headmodel. A sample .vc file is
included in Appendix E.
TOP
User Interface
Assets
Priority: The tga files are required. The roq
file is optional. The User Interface menus use these files to show the team
logo icons and movies of the characters in actions.
Teamname, of course, refers to the name of
the new team.
Teamname_name_alt.tga (ui\assets\) : This is a 256 x 128 pixel, 32 bit .tga file
(with alpha channel) depicting the name of the team as a black and white
(grayscale) art file. Teamname is the name of the
new team, the rest of the filename is part of its format. The alpha channel should
be the same as the image (not reversed).
Teamname_name.tga (ui\assets\) : This is a 256 x 128 pixel, 32 bit .tga file
(with alpha channel) depicting the name of the team with a glow around it. It
is a black and white art file (grayscale). The alpha channel should be the
same as the image (not reversed).
Teamname.tga (ui\assets\) : This is a 128 x 128 pixel, 32 bit .tga file
(with alpha channel) that depicts a black and white version of the team logo
or symbol. The alpha channel should be the same as the image (not reversed).
Teamname_metal.tga (ui\assets\) : This is a 128 x 128 pixel, 32 bit .tga file
(with alpha channel). If the team creator wants to keep the same style as the
original game, this version of the team’s logo is
rendered to look like brushed metal, perhaps with a bluish cast. But in
reality, it can be anything, any color. The alpha channel should be the same
as the alpha channel in the Teamlogo.tga art.
Teamname.roq (ui\assets\) : The .roq movie displays in the center area
of the player set up screen when the player selects one of the teams. Movie
file sizes can be large, so the team creator may wish to take the overall
size of the team pakfile into consideration before
including a movie. Uncompressed, the team movies in Team Arena were over a
megabyte each … and being compressed format files already; they don’t get much smaller in the pakfile.
The good news is that if no movie file is present, the game displays the teamname_metal.tga in the center area instead. It must be
noted that team movie files will not be offered for viewing in the Cinematics menu option unless the teamname.roq
file is also present in the video\ directory.

In Game Team Logo
Icons
Priority: Required
The team style game maps
for Team Arena are usually set up to display the icons of the competing
teams. The game uses a separate set of art files located in the team_icon directory off the root missionpack
directory for the team icons displayed in game. For Team Arena, these art
files were a single color, red or blue. But that need not be the case. If a
game clan wanted to use a full color version of their clan symbol, it would
work in game - though the team creator may want to consider tinting the art
either bluish or reddish to better suit the color used in play (most team
maps are likely to use the blue/red color theme as was done in the original
game).
Also, take into
consideration that the art will be transparent, with background textures
(floors, walls, colored banners) showing through behind it. Simple, graphic
treatments of logos will probably work the best in all cases.
Art files can be larger or
smaller than those shown here. However, while having smaller files will save
memory, image quality will suffer. If using larger art files, image quality
may improve substantially but the memory usage will be substantial also.
Whether increasing or reducing file size, remember to keep the file dimension
proportional to the original.
The Teamname.shader
references this art. Make sure that the file names in the shader
match those of the artwork.
Teamname.tga (team_icon\):
This is a 128 x
128 pixel art file, the exact same file as used in ui\assets\teamname.tga.
It is a black and white 32 bit version of the team logo with the same art in
the alpha channel.
Teamname_blue.tga (team_icon\):
For Team Arena, we
created solid color logos, but that need not be the case. This 32 bit 128 x
128 pixel art file can be full color. The alpha channel should be the same as
the teamname.tga file. If you choose to make it
solid blue, consider using the same color value as the original TA logos. The
RGB formula for that blue is: 0 148 255.
Teamname_red.tga (team_icon\):
Even though id
chose to make our logo’s single, solid colors, this
32 bit 128 x 128 pixel art file can be whatever color the team creator
wishes. The alpha channel should be the same as the teamname.tga
file. If you choose to make it solid red, consider using the same color value
as the original TA logos. The RGB formula for that red is: 255 0 0.

New Models and Skins
for Teams
The process by which body models are created is outside the scope of this
document. While body model has a few more animations than the corresponding
Quake III Arena model, the process of creation is quite similar … except for
one very key element. The Team Arena model has no head. Head models for Team
Arena teams are created and stored separately from the body. Where the
pathname to a body model might be models\players\BoB,
the path to the head models is different:
Example: models\players\heads\Kreecha.
New Team Arena Models
based on Q3A models
For the Team Arena test model, the Brothers Grimm converted a character model
that they had previously made for Quake III Arena. In order to keep the game
from confusing two models with the same file name, the search code for models
and skins was changed to allow extended search paths for models. In this
case, we placed the Team Arena model in a “characters” directory nested
within the “players” directory. The path to the new model read:
models\players\characters\BoB\. The model directory
contains the torso and legs models only, which are Upper.md3 and Lower.md3
respectively. There are no head models in that directory. Furthermore,
include any art and skin files used for the default version of the model
along with the animation.cfg.
NOTE: When creating your models for
export as .ASE files for use with the Q3data.exe, you must have a head on the
model (e.g.; an h_head in the max file) for the
converter to work. The converter looks for and expects to see an h_head for of the model. If the converter does not find
the head during the conversion, the process will halt. After the conversion
is complete just use the Upper and lower Md3 files for that character’s directory. Place the head model in its own
separate directory.
Icons for new models
The Loading Screen for Team Arena uses the icons associated with a team member’s body model, not the member’s
head model. Be certain to include an icon_default.tga
file in new model’s directory. This icon will be
used on the map loading screen. It represents the Body model in use by a
player … not the Head model.
New Team Skins
When creating a team, make a red and a blue version
of the skin. Name the skins as noted below. Do not use the team or character
name in the skin. That information is taken from the name of the directory in
which it resides.
The team skins (red and
blue) for a Team Arena model reside in a directory within the model directory
(which contains the model md3 pieces).
Example: models\players\characters\BoB\Kreechurs\.
The teamname
directory (Kreechurs in this case) would contain
the art files for the skin, and the .skin files that link art to model.
In simple form, the skin
assets required to be in the teamname file are as
follows:
TGA file names
Blue.tga //the body skin for the blue team version
Red.tga //the body skin for the red team version
Skin File Names
Lower_blue.skin //blue version of legs skin file
Upper_blue.skin //blue version of torso skin file
Lower_red.skin //red version of legs skin file
Upper_red.skin //red version of torso skin file
Lower_default.skin //default legs skin file (used
by U.I.). Usually, this is the red skin.
Upper_default.skin //default torso skin file (used
by U.I.). Usually, this is the red skin.
New Heads
Each new player on a new team should either have a new head model or have a
new skin for an existing Team Arena model. Each new head model and all its
assets go into a directory named for it. In the case of new skins for
pre-existing models, the new skin assets reside in a directory nested within
the model’s directory.
Example: models\players\heads\callisto\lily is a new skin for the Callisto
head.
Note that other assets,
such as the .vc file for this head will also need
to be nested in directories a layer deeper in their normal files.
Example: scripts\callisto\lily.vc.
New head models need to
have all the assets specific to the model (md3 files, skin files and art
files) in the directory named for the model head.
No MD3 Models Required
for New Skins on id Models
New skins created for existing head models (id created or community created)
do not require that the md3 models be in their directories. The assets
specific to the new skin (skin art, skin file, icons) are placed in a
directory. You do not need to redistribute md3 models for the heads that are
a part of the original id game.
Using the Work of
Others
If you are reskinning or simply using a head model
previously created and distributed by a member of the community, make sure
that the original creator has authorized such use (and remember to give
credit where credit is due). When using community-created models, the team
creator must plan to include that model and all its assets in the pakfile.

Appendix A: The .Bot File
Five Heads, Five Bots, Five Team Members
Priority: Required for each new team
A Team Arena team consists
of five players. In the original game, the five players were drawn from a mix
of 11 new player heads sitting atop two body models. New teams should also
have five players each. However, five players on the new team should each have
a unique head/skin combination. These can either be new models or new skins
using the original Q3:TA models.
The .bot
file (whose file name is the same as the name of the new team, e.g.; Kreechurs.bot or Scumsukkers.bot)
is a text script whose “.txt” file extension has been renamed to “.bot.” This file corresponds to the bots.txt file used in
the original Team Arena game. Appendix A shows a
sample bot file.
Name = the name of the bot as it appears on the Start Server Menu.
Model = the body model used by this bot. A team can use more than one body model. However,
adding multiple body models can and will add significantly to the size of the
team pak file and to memory usage in game. Limiting
the number of body models used by a team is a good design practice. No more
than two models per team should be the limit.
Headmodel = *modelname.
The headmodel is what makes the bot
unique. It has links to the voice files and is used when creating name
aliases for the bots to use in the single player game. The asterisk is a
necessary part of the file name here.
The headmodel
called Callisto/Lily is a new skin on the Callisto model mesh. The pathname is required for the
model to work.
Aifile = the bot
ai used by the team member. The computer-controlled
opponents in Team Arena used three individual ai
files that define their general role in the game: defense (tad_c.c), offense (tao_c.c) and
all-arounder (taa_c.c).
New bots can use these same a.i. files or, if
desired the team creator can make new ai files
based on the Team Arena ai files.
Filename: Teamname.bot
//bot file begins here {name Kreecha model BoB headmodel *Kreecha aifile bots/taa_c.c } {name Callisto/Lily model BoB headmodel *Callisto/Lily aifile bots/tad_c.c } {name Infinite model BoB headmodel *Infinite aifile bots/tad_c.c } {name Prime model BoB headmodel *Prime aifile bots/tao_c.c } {name Vlad model BoB headmodel *Vlad aifile bots/tao_c.c } //bot file ends here
TOP
Appendix B: The
.TEAM File
Priority: Required for each new team.
The team file is a text
file that has had the file extension renamed from .txt to .team.
Kreechurs is a test Team Arena team created
to test the team and head model code for point release v1.28. It uses the
hypothetical “BoB” model to create a new team.
The team definition
appears on a single line in the file:
“Team name” “asset
path/name” “bot 1” “bot
2” “bot 3” “bot 4” “bot 5”
//Teams define the assets
used by the team: team name, path to U.I. assets, player names
// Character definitions act as a link between head models used by a team and
models that have the proper team skin assets. The Player Set Up User
Interface primarily uses the character definitions. The first entry is the
head model as defined in the .bot file. The second
entry is body model used by that character. For everything to work out for
the best, each character should have a unique model/skin combination that
defines it.
Filename: Teamname.team
// .team file begins here teams { { "Kreechurs" "ui/assets/kreechurs" "BoB" "Lily" "Vlad" "Infinite" "Prime"}} characters {{ "Callisto/Lily" " BoB " }{ "Kreecha" " BoB " }{ "Infinite" " BoB " }{ "Prime" " BoB " }{ "Vlad" " BoB " }} // Aliases are the link between character name, headmodel, and bot A.I. aliases { { "Kreecha" "BoB" "a" } { "Lily" "Callisto/Lily" "d" } { "Vlad" "Vlad" "o" } { "Infinite" "Infinite" "d" } { "Prime" "Prime" "o" } } //.team file ends here
TOP
Appendix C: The
Voice List
Priority: Optional.
The voice file is a text
file that has had the file extension renamed from .txt to .voice. Each unique
set of voice recordings requires its own voice file. This file contains the
code script that defines the voice and corresponding text messages used by
the player models in game. Like the text chat messages that appeared in
original Q3A, these messages are triggered by game conditions and statuses.
The file directory name
for the voice does not have to be the same as a head or body model, though
giving it a unique name that identifies it with the team is always a good
idea. The specific file names for each voice message ARE VERY IMPORTANT, as
the voice script that corresponds to the file directory for the voice calls
them. Example: If the new voice is called “monster”, then the directory would
be called “monster” and the voice file would be called monster.voice.
If you create a new set of
recorded voices for your team or for a new model, be certain to include at
least one voice message for each category (defined by a name like “getflag” and follow by opening and closing brackets) on
this list. It is not necessary to provide as many different messages as shown
below. Example: Your character may not need more than one way to say “yes” or
have as many kill insults. You can also rewrite the scripts. Your team need
not say the same thing as the id teams said or use the same style of
speaking. Just remember that the text portion of the message will display on
screen, so having it match the audio is always a good thing. And remember
that in game, shorter speeches are better and cheaper.
The file path is as
follows: sound\voices\newmodel\soundname.wav
You may include additional
voices but these are the ones currently the phrases accessed by the game.
As with any script, these
are lines of game code. Take care to maintain the proper syntax, otherwise,
you are likely to either disable the file or even crash the game.
To create new voice
recordings use a sound editing program that can produce a .wav format file
that conforms to the following: Mono 22k 16bit
(This is taken from the
male5 voice file. Substitute the name of your model for male5 in the file
pathnames).

Appendix D:
Model Sound List
Priority: Only required if a new body model is included in the team pak file.
The following game sounds
are associated with the team model. Each of the sounds listed below is a
separate file. They need to be located in a directory having the same name as
the body model and be nested within the sounds directory.
Example: sounds/newmodel/Death1.wav.
If new sound files are to
be created, make sure that they conform to the following wav file format:
Mono 22k 16bit.
Death1.wav
Death2.wav
Death3.wav
Drown.wav
Fall1.wav
Falling1.wav
Gasp.wav
Jump1.wav

Appendix E: .VC
File Sample
Priority: Required for each head model
The vc
file is a text file script that has had the file extension renamed from .txt
to .vc. The script is linked to a bot name. Bot names are defined
in the .bot file included in the pak file. Each bot needs to
have a .vc file. It’s
best, if at all possible, to have the model name (or model/skin combination)
and the bot name be the same. The very brief
contents are simply a path to a voice file. The selected voice file can be
either one of the original Team Arena voices or an original voice included
with the team. When creating the voice file for a re-skinned head model, be
sure to include the head name in the path to the voice script. That script
must also be nested a layer deeper in the directory, such as: scripts/callisto/lily.vc.
The contents of a sample .vc file are shown below.
//VC script begins here scripts/newcharacter.voice //VC script ends here

Appendix F: Sample
Team Arena Animation.Cfg File and New Animation
Commands
Priority: Required only if a new model is included.
The animation.cfg
file is a text file that has had the file extension renamed from .txt to .cfg. This file goes in the directory with the body model
components (model\players \new_model\ -- or --
model\players\characters\new_model\). The specifics
of using or modifying the contents of this file are a part of the model
making process and are mostly outside the focus of this document.
It is included in this
document because the Team Arena animation configuration is different from the
Quake 3 Arena Configuration. Furthermore it contains the “sex” key that
determines the gender/sex of a character (as does the Q3A animation.cfg).
This key/value pair determines which pronouns (masculine, feminine, or
neuter) are used when the game generates messages about the player.
Additionally, two new
animation commands (for both Q3A and Q3:TA) are
shown here. These were done at the request of modelers doing non-traditional
biped models. When put in the animation.cfg file,
they literally stop the model from responding to the programmatic animations
for those body parts. If you freeze the legs, the hips don't tilt during
running animation. If the model’s legs were too
much outside of bipedal norms (as is the case for quadrupeds), the front or
back legs would disappear into the ground as the leg models programmatically
tilted around the model’s pelvis. If you freeze the
torso, you don't get waist twists or bends. Depending on what you are making,
you may want to use one, but not the other.
Fixedlegs : put in the animation .cfg this command freezes programmatic rotation of the
legs
Fixedtorso : when put in the animation .cfg this command freezes programmatic rotation of the
torso
These commands are
commented out in the sample below.

Appendix H: Search
Order for Model and Head model Assets
The means by which headmodels are used and selected was unified as much as
possible between Q3A and Q3:TA code. The byproduct
of this change allows players some more choices when selecting head models.
The following documents the new procedures.
Searching for Head
skins
The game uses the following paths and order of search when looking for headmodel assets. The asterisk (*) is only used for head
models. When the asterisk is used, the game will try to load the head model
from the models/players/heads folder first. After that, it looks deeper into
the directories.
More Variety of Head
Skins
If the team creator so chooses, different skins can be created for each team
(note that id chose to use the same head skins for each team … but that doesn’t have to be the case).
=================================== Q3A/TA NON-TEAMPLAY SEARCH ORDER =================================== ------------------------------------------------- headmodel = *callisto/lily models/players/heads/callisto/lily/head_default.skin models/players/heads/callisto/head_lily.skin ------------------------------------------------- headmodel = callisto/lily models/players/callisto/lily/head_default.skin models/players/callisto/head_lily.skin models/players/heads/callisto/lily/head_default.skin models/players/heads/callisto/head_lily.skin ============================ Q3A TEAMPLAY SEARCH ORDER ============================ ------------------------------------------------- Example: team_headmodel = *callisto/lily team = red models/players/heads/callisto/lily/head_red.skin models/players/heads/callisto/head_red.skin ------------------------------------------------- Example: team_headmodel = callisto/lily team = red models/players/callisto/lily/head_red.skin models/players/callisto/head_red.skin models/players/heads/callisto/lily/head_red.skin models/players/heads/callisto/head_red.skin =========================== TA TEAMPLAY SEARCH ORDER =========================== Example: team_headmodel = *callisto/lily team = red teamName = Stroggs models/players/heads/callisto/lily/Stroggs/head_red.skin models/players/heads/callisto/Stroggs/head_red.skin models/players/heads/callisto/lily/head_red.skin models/players/heads/callisto/head_red.skin Example: team_headmodel = callisto/lily team = red teamName = Stroggs models/players/callisto/lily/Stroggs/head_red.skin models/players/callisto/Stroggs/head_red.skin models/players/callisto/lily/head_red.skin models/players/callisto/head_red.skin models/players/heads/callisto/lily/Stroggs/head_red.skin models/players/heads/callisto/Stroggs/head_red.skin models/players/heads/callisto/lily/head_red.skin models/players/heads/callisto/head_red.skin
Searching for Model
Skins
The following list shows the order in which the game searches for model
skins. When creating new skins for Team Arena or Quake 3 Arena (or related mods of either), use the following directory arrangement.
=================================== Q3A/TA NON-TEAMPLAY SEARCH ORDER =================================== ------------------------------------------------- Example: model = hunter/harpy legs: models/players/hunter/lower_harpy_default.skin models/players/hunter/lower_harpy.skin models/players/characters/james/lower_harpy_default.skin models/players/characters/james/lower_harpy.skin torso: models/players/hunter/upper_harpy_default.skin models/players/hunter/upper_harpy.skin models/players/characters/hunter/upper_harpy_default.skin models/players/characters/hunter/upper_harpy.skin ============================ Q3A TEAMPLAY SEARCH ORDER ============================ ------------------------------------------------- Example: team_model = hunter/harpy team = red legs: models/players/hunter/lower_harpy_red.skin models/players/hunter/lower_red.skin models/players/characters/hunter/lower_harpy_red.skin models/players/characters/hunter/lower_red.skin torso: models/players/hunter/upper_harpy_red.skin models/players/hunter/upper_red.skin models/players/characters/hunter/upper_harpy_red.skin models/players/characters/hunter/upper_red.skin =========================== TA TEAMPLAY SEARCH ORDER =========================== ------------------------------------------------- Example: team_model = james/badass team = red teamName = Stroggs legs: models/players/james/Stroggs/lower_badass_red.skin models/players/james/Stroggs/lower_red.skin models/players/james/lower_badass_red.skin models/players/james/lower_red.skin models/players/characters/james/Stroggs/lower_badass_red.skin models/players/characters/james/Stroggs/lower_red.skin models/players/characters/james/lower_badass_red.skin models/players/characters/james/lower_red.skin torso: models/players/james/Stroggs/upper_badass_red.skin models/players/james/Stroggs/upper_red.skin models/players/james/upper_badass_red.skin models/players/james/upper_red.skin models/players/characters/james/Stroggs/upper_badass_red.skin models/players/characters/james/Stroggs/upper_red.skin models/players/characters/james/upper_badass_red.skin models/players/characters/james/upper_red.skin

Appendix I:
Expanded Team Skin Functionality for Q3A
Technically speaking, the
following information has nothing to do with Team Arena teams, but this
document is just as good a place for this information to reside as any.
At the request of several
modelers who worked with the modeling and skin making forums and archives at Polycount,
we changed the way that Quake III Arena (not just Team Arena) handles skin
replacement in team games. Originally, if a skinner made a new skin for a Q3A
model AND made team color versions of that skin, the game would not
automatically use the team version. Instead, it would display the id default
red or blue skin. To see a new team skin in the game, the skinner literally
had to remove the default skins and replace them with the new versions.
With version 1.28 of the
game code, we’ve been able to get that changed. The
file format that we used is the one requested by the skinners themselves.
However, because of the way searches for head skins now work, pre-existing
Q3A files are not going to work correctly. They need to have one, renamed
skin file added for the proper head skins to appear in the game.
When a properly set-up
user-created skin for a model is accompanied by matching team color skins,
the game will now use them instead of the default team skin for that model.
The example below shows
the assets that must be in the pakfile for the Blue
version of a skin named Hellion that uses the id-created Crash model.
Hellion_blue.tga models\players\crash\ Hellion_blue_f.tga models\players\crash\ Hellion_blue_t.tga models\players\crash\ Head_Hellion_blue.skin models\players\crash\ Icon_Hellion_blue.tga models\players\crash\ Lower_Hellion_blue.skin models\players\crash\ Upper_Hellion_blue.skin models\players\crash\ Head_blue.skin models\players\crash\Hellion\
The last file is the key
to making it work … a skin file with the same contents as Head_Hellion_blue.skin,
only renamed Head_blue.skin and placed one layer
deeper in the Hellion directory. Note that BOTH head_hellion_blue.skin
in the crash directory and head_blue.skin in the
crash/Hellion directory are necessary for the model to work properly.
To see a working example
of a properly set up Q3A skin, look for Hades Orphan, the revised version
(h20.pk3), by Camilla “milla” Bennett for the Crash
model.

Appendix K: A
Minimal Team
The following list is the
minimum number of files needed to make a new team and assumes that the team
creator is using both the Janet and James models (the models shipped with Quake
III: Team Arena) and the pre-existing heads that work with those models. Note
that no sound or voice files are necessary. No head files are necessary. When
adding new heads, refer to the Kreecha head in
Appendix J. When reskinning previously created heads,
refer to the Callisto/Lily head in Appendix J. Use

Appendix L:
Contents of the TAhead_lily.pk3
The following list is
taken directly from the contents of the pak file
that contains the Lily head model that is a part of the Kreechurs
team. Lily is based on the Callisto head model from
the original TA game (blinking female head with red or blue hair cut in a
pageboy style). Use this as a reference when creating your own pak files for new character heads.
