ShellShock's Crater

Q3Offline Edit Player Dialog

Back to Game Page


The Edit Player dialog allows you to edit the head model, model and skin for your player in Quake III Arena. Players who regularly play team games like Capture the Flag or Team DM will want to specify the model they use in team games, which can be different from the ones they may use in Free for All (FFA) or Tournament matches. Such team models have been a feature of Quake III Arena since version 1.17.

If you do not set the player model and skin details in Q3Offline, then it will default to whatever you have set up in Quake III Arena itself.

Fields

Player name: The name of your player. The name can contain spaces, and supports different colours. To select a colour you need to type a special escape code (^ followed by a digit). All text following the escape code will appear in the colour for the escape code, up to the next escape code. The escape codes are as follows:

^1 Red

^2 Green

^3 Yellow

^4 Blue

^5 Cyan

^6 Magenta

^7 Grey

^8 White

So "^2Shell^1Shock" will be displayed in Quake III Arena as ShellShock.

Head: Select the head model for your player. The list of available head models is the same as the list of models. It is recommended that you use the same the value as the Model field. To get the list of available models, Q3Offline scans all pk3 files, and models\players\name files in the game folder (e.g., baseq3). You should see any models that you have downloaded and put into the game folder.

Skin: Select the skin for your player's head. Only skins for the currently selected head model will be displayed. To get the list of available skins, Q3Offline scans all pk3 files, and models\players\name files in the game folder. 

Model: Select the model for your player's body. 

Skin: Select the skin for your player's body. 

Refresh: To improve performance, Q3Offline only scans for model and skin files the first time you enter the Edit Player dialog during a particular session. You can force a rescan at any time by hitting the Refresh button.

Make default: Make the current settings the default for any new Q3Offline documents.
