A desperate modeler

DaMuncha

I have been searching for weeks and been to 100s of sites, but nowhere can i find any information for renameing a q3 model

I have been making a mod for quake 3 called Shards of Destiny, I have completely replaced every piece of art in the game and have givin the game a new theme, but...

I have made new magic wand models for all the weapons but i dont know how to display my names in quake 3 instead of the default names. e.g. Machinegun

Gauntlet = Sword
Machinegun = Magic Wand
Shotgun = Blight Wand
Grenade Launcher = Lava on a Stick
Rocket Launcher = Flame Staff
Plasma Gun = Soul Wand
Lightning Gun = Water Staff
BFG = Omega Skull

Is there anyone who can tell me how to display thier proper names in Quake 3?

Thx

Download the SDK, change the relevant bits in the code and compile.

what is SDK? Im an artist, not a programmer, and i wouldn't have any idea where to start editing

software development kit.

In other words you look in the source code for the offending names, and change them then recompile the code to make the exe.

You need a programming editor (C++?) for this.

Do you have any friends who know programming enough to ask to do this for you?

ok, there is visual studio max on this computer, but i dont know how to use it, and i dont know how to compile, there is another class here who is learning programing, but theyre all ass holes and wont lift a finger to help. all the other skin files/bot files/arena files, iv edited with note pad, in a sort of trial and error way.
