12-07-99 ***** THIS PLUGIN-PLAYER-MODEL IS OFFICIALLY AUTHORIZED BY RAVEN SOFTWARE ***** HOWEVER, DON'T EMAIL THEM WITH TECH QUESTIONS ABOUT IT ***** USE THE EMAIL ADDRESS LISTED BELOW IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS REGARDING THE PPM ================================================================ Model Name : Demoness (Succubus) installation directory : quake2/baseq2/players/Demoness Author : RavenSoftware, ported and edited by Pascal "Firebrandt" Jurock Email Address : pascal@jurock.com Website Address : ----- Model description : "The Demoness is a unique creature--the only one of her kind. Through powerful wizardry she was created by Eidolon as the first of a new race of magic-wielding minions. The Demoness was to be the mother of her kind, but the Serpent Rider never had the opportunity to complete his work." -- The Portals of Praevus Manual Other info : TRIS INFO: There are some minor cosmetic changes and bug fixes that I did to the model and I made some new frames for the Q2 native animations. Nothing fancy, but I hate ppm's that don't have wave animations, so I went and quickly did a few. The original weapon model I used for the main vwep aligning was somewhat corrupted (see weaponorg.md2+pcx), therefore some of the vweps have a slightly "wobbly" look to them, but this is only noticable when looking at the stand animation. Sorry, but the only way to fix this is to do a manual re-align of every frame. VWEP INFO: The viewable weapons included in this model are all based on Hexen2 and/or H2:PoP designs and ideas and Raven retains all copyrights to the models, skins and their likenesses. You might notice how the vweps use a somewhat less than generic skin- naming scheme, but this is purposely done to allow interchanging of vwep md2's. (ex. want the Purifier to be the Hyperblaster instead of the Railgun? just rename w_railgun.md2 to w_hyperblaster.md2. you don't have to worry about renaming the skins this way) VWEP KEY (default): Blaster = Sickle Shotgun = Crossbow SuperShotgun = MeteorStaff Machinegun = SaphireWand Chaingun = TempestStaff Grenadelauncher = ScarabStaff RocketLauncher = RavenStaff Hyperblaster = SunStaff Railgun = Purifier BFG10K = Wings of the Fallen Angel ;) XATRIX: IonRipper = Staff of Ra PhalanxCannon = Staff of Anubis The following aren't activated by default but may be used to substitute any weapon: Weapon.md2 (TempestStaff hilt) Weaponorg.md2 (original H2 weapon (TempestStaff)) Icemace.md2 and Firemace.md2 (two weapon alternatives but they wobble alot :( ) I might add ROGUE vwep support but nobody seems to play it anymore, and now with Quake3Arena finally out I'm probably gonna concentrate mainly on the Q3 modeling scene.

Editors used : Q2modeler Paint Shop Pro 5 NST QME Lite Known Bugs : A little vwep "wobbling" during some frames, some wasted skin space (I didn't feel like remapping the skin. It looks fine), and interpolation causes some strange effects during the flip sequence, barely noticable though. Build/Animation time : hmm... I started it in July 99 but it has been sitting idle on my hardrive for awhile now. * Copyright / Permissions * QUAKE(R) and QUAKE II(R) are registered trademarks of id Software, Inc.
