"tris_map.bmp"

Does that mean anything to anyone? Is it Quake 1? Maybe default output from qME?

I named a Texporter image that, and was struck with a wave of nostalgia. Identify it for me, please! It hurts so good, but it hurts!

tris.pcx was from Quake 2, I think, as the default name for a skinmesh or a model... so I guess it was probably from Q1 too?

Maybe I'm picking up on "tris model" as a phrase, not a filename. Referring to the geometry in a tutorial or something, back in those beautiful days when few of us were smart enough to say "mesh"!

tris.pcx has got to be the source at any rate. Thanks, I'm going to stop thinking about this now. Whew.

I dunno Mal....I don't think that's right...

EVIL!

Actualy yeah, tris was what the default Q1 geometry name was, I think. Haven't looked at that stuff in years! CheapAlert'd know for sure, although you wouldn't thank him for it.

i've never encountered a tris_map.bmp so no

and yes, "tris.pcx" is indeed the default skinname of what id chose for their md2 models.

Would it be the old name for an export bitmap of the mapping from NST?

Ahh... NST *goes misty eyed*
