So I made some icons & menus etc. to go with the hi-res weapon skins pak which I posted here before. Since almost all the pictures have been replaced you can't see everything in those 2 screenshots. And because these pictures have been made with a bigger resolution than default they look like shit with gl_scale 1. So here are the recommendations for the pak.

Recommendations: AprQ2, gl_scale 2, gl_replacepcx 1, gl_gammapics 0 and use at least 1280x1024 resolution since otherwise the icons are too big. These aren't made for anything less than 1280x1024 so don't whine if the icons are too big with a lower resolution since these aren't meant to be used with those resolutions. And without gl_replacepcx 1 these won't even show up in your quake.

If the bigger crosshair which comes with gl_scale 2 is not for your liking, you can use ch_scale 0.5 to make it the same size as before.

This is really good for players using higher resolutions. Going to add this in Action Gear later on :>

Your problem is that you dont got .pcx files to tell how big the menu files should be... Download a 8bit fullset on http://marlporo.pp.fi/aq2/huds_fullsets.html and take all .pcx files that start on m_main_ into your ...action/pics/ folder

I can see Vermin have used the rq3 items he released on http://aq2zone.action-web.ca/viewtopic.php?t=1342 as basic icons for instance on bandolier or on the silencer in the hud (this pak).... To bad they took away the files, so no one can have the same look at items as it looks in the hud. But I am impressed how good it looks tho. Keep it comin Vermin this is Great work!!!

nice pak: got the following problems tho !

Can't seem to find a way to make it look decent with the resolution, I might've messed too much with my own config, the screen "crumbles" if I turn the resolution up a notch. Care to upload ur cfg Vermin ? Or is the one on aq2world.com updated, if u put one?

Can't really go to menu if my sister is around (guess why), what's the menu called, so I can delete the pictures? Or could I have u bother to make a menu that isn't R-rated?:)

I want ur textures too! Where did you get 'em?!

1. I dont know how a desent look is, but you have to have a high resolution, like 1280 * 1024 or 1280 * 960, and write gl_scale 2 in you autoexec.cfg, with normal gl_scale 1 (default) you whont get benefit for the high resolution on pics. If you got a 4:3 monitor (old crt one) use a 4:3 resolution like 1280 * 960, and not a other aspect ratio like on lcd monitors (5:4 or 16:9).

2. The menu is built up of many pics files.... all the menu pics files in this pak is .png files.... So delete all the m_main_......png files, Ex m_main_game.png

3. Yeah Vermin please share your textures!
