[BUG] hipoly models and hq sfx from steam arent loaded on ironwail

[Sol1vaN]

Hi there,

I’ve never played the Quake remaster because the Kex engine causes a lot of stuttering, even with 144fps unlocked. This is due to the game logic (gamehz) being capped at 60fps.

Now, with Ironwail, I’m hopeful I can enjoy the remaster with flawless smoothness. Ironwail loads the remaster game, but the guns, monsters models and sounds still remain in their vanilla versions.

I simply copied the entire 'rerelease' folder (Ironwail doesn't detect my Steam game automatically as it’s supposed to). Ironwail can't launch if I use the entire 'rerelease' folder:

So, I moved the 'id1' subfolder from 'rerelease' folder to the Ironwail working directory, and now it ran:

However, the models and sounds remain vanilla.
Only graphical features like dynamic lighting and colored lighting are loaded.
What am I doing wrong?

PS: I've recently copied id1 in the exact way for vkQuake and the hipoly models are loaded. But the hq SFX arent loaded too.
I think is a ironwail bug.

I don't think you can run it like that. Rename the "rerelease" folder to "id1" (assuming it has pak0.pak in it) and that's it.

(The "id1" folder from the Steam version contains the old Quake files which don't have the improved models.)

Provided MD5 models are turned on in the ingame menu, they should be used if the folder with the correct file has been copied over and named correctly.

i mean, 'rerelease' folder is there to show that i've copied all the structure, and then moved the 'pak0.pak' file from 'id1' subfolder to 'id1' ironwail folder.

If you do this, you'll notice the hipoly models and hq sfx sounds aren't loaded, only the old ones.
For other side, if you do the same on vkquake, the hipoly are loaded without problem.
However, in vkquake the hq sfx sounds still aren't loaded too.

but, in the other hand, if we do that you say 'rename the rerelease folder to id1 folder', now the "which quake version would you like to play?" message appears:

here's the comparision files/folders structures:

if you chose the "Remastered" the hipoly, and hq sounds still are vanilla.

PS: i've readed some on #337 and seems that still there's some points to cover on recognize all the content on .PAK files and also they wants to implement .PK3 support. I don't know if this have some relation with this.

The new models are enabled via menu in the current builds of Ironwail, but that functionality isn't in the release version 0.7. I think it's always supported the new sounds, but it processes them differently from Qex, so it doesn't sound the same.
