We have an ongoing joke in my clan revolveing around chipmunks and I thought it would be kool to have a chipmunk model to use in Q3. I realize Q3 is a pretty damn old at this point but if anyone would take this project on I can gaurantee it would get alot of use on our server Thanx for reading this post
I'd suggest using md3 (quake3) as it is by far more popular, and basically features everything md2 (quake2) has as well and is more accurate on animation.
I have to take a bit of issue with the title of this thread and your examples of 'old school' games. No, I'm not going to say Doom 2 is old school. Your examples leave you with a a rather wide spectrum here. Quake 3 models were generally around 800 tris, and NWN was somewhat the same, as far as I know, if only due to NWN…
