On occasion, I get the urge to make other content, mostly for Q2, and I figured this would be a good place to put them, upon completion. As you'll notice, I enjoy making new icons for my Heads Up Display(HUD) and sometimes I do a bit of skinning for player models and weapons. I hope someone other than me gets some use out of this stuff, so if you see anything you like, download it. Otherwise, if you need something custom done, contact me, Whirlingdervish[Q2C], and I'll see what we can work out. I'd also appreciate any fresh ideas as they will help me create better content in the long run.

.PAK Files

Name:

The Retro HUD Icon .Pak DOWNLOAD

Description:

This .Pak file contains new custom graphics for your Quake 2 HUD. All of the weapon/armor/item icons were created by me with MS paint and Irfanview. In addition, the console backdrop and inventory window have been customized a bit, along with the new red console characters and bright green HUD numbers. I attempted to keep the icons as simple as possible to bring the retro-gaming feel of early VGA games, while using transparency to allow the player a slightly less restricted field of view.

Name:

The Slick HUD Icon .Pak DOWNLOAD

Description:

This .Pak file contains custom graphics for your Quake 2 HUD. All of the weapon/armor/item icons were changed by me with MS paint and Irfanview from the original icons that came with Quake 2. In addition, the console backdrop and inventory window have been customized, there are 3 new crosshairs, and I made new bright green HUD numbers that are much easier to read without taking your eyes off of the action. The icons, are much like the originals, but I removed the worthless boxes that they were represented on, and drastically increased the amount of viewable screen by doing so. This is one of the first attempts I made at making new graphics for Quake 2, and after I realized how simple the process was, I really began to enjoy skinning for all sorts of stuff.

Name:	The NO-HUD Icon .Pak DOWNLOAD
Description:	This .Pak file contains custom graphics for your Quake 2 HUD. They are all made with the Quake 2 transparent color so that you can take unhindered screenshots of maps and such. Just replace your current pak8.pak with this temporarily, while you are taking screenshots, and none of the weapon icons or HUD text will show up.. Made by Grieve[Q2C]

Name:	The Tastyspleen.net Themed Console/HUD .Pak DOWNLOAD
Description:	This .Pak file contains custom graphics for your Quake 2 HUD. I incorporated some other people's work, with a bit of my own, to bring you this .pak, and I really like how well the different elements worked together. The HUD numbers were converted from the Warsow HUD by some great guys from clan [BTF], Adam and X'tyfe.. The HUD Icons are the ones from my "slick hud pak" that have been editted from the original q2 icons, to include a transparent effect instead of the green box background. The inventory window has been streamlined, and recolored to match the blue motif of the console characters and backdrop. The awesome console backdrop was provided by Quest, who made it for the Tastyspleen Logo contest.

Name:	Low Poly Rocket Model .Pak DOWNLOAD
Description:	This .Pak file contains a custom model for the splash that occurs when a rocket or grenade explodes in Quake 2. It is made of significantly less polygons than the original, so it should improve your client's performance and FPS during heated battles where explosions are going off all around you.

Name:	Bright .TGA Armor Skins .Pak DOWNLOAD
Description:	This .Pak file consists of models and skins for the stock Quake 2 armor models that brightens them up and makes them supremely identifiable from a distance, even on dark maps or where you can only see a portion of the model, without the loss of detail involved in most bright skin paks.

Name:

Custom Sound .Pak DOWNLOAD

Description:

This .Pak file consists of some replacement sounds for Q2, that seem to make the game much easier for me to compete at. It includes different sounds for each type of armor pickup, more realistic shotgun firing sounds, a completely new set of sounds for the hyperblaster/blaster that aren't quite so loud and annoying, and a very noticeable sound for the Megahealth pickup. It does NOT contain any timer .wav files though, since I don't use them.(they're a bit too much like cheating for my taste)
