Let's make textures - Errors in Wally (part 2)

If you save with Pixly (trough palette) as a png file and as a .wal file trough Wally with 32 bit, you will have a alpha warning.  

It is showing without errors in Quake army knife, even if warning ,,32 bit image with alpha channel,,

The ingame texture looks diferent, not bad as a .wal file, but it should not have black backround. Black is not transparency. Black is transparency in Kingpin: Life of Crime.

Let's make textures - Errors in Paint Shop Pro 7 (part 1)

I will start showing the errors first, to see what not to do.
First, when you put your plugin in your folder :
Jasc Software Inc\Paint Shop Pro 7\Plugins\Formats
The plugin, which works for Paintshop pro 7 (PhotoShop .wal plugin) :
tastyspleen panjoo
Or get it from below, but copy the download link in https://archive.org/ (PhotoShop .Wal Plugin):
quake2.com
Another place :
idgames2
.pal file goes to :
Jasc Software Inc\Paint Shop Pro 7\Palettes

Saving a png file using Paintshop pro 7 save to wall (palette applied with Pixly)

Opening .wal file with Wally or with Quark editor, shows the texture wrong.

Making a image from scratch with Pixly with Quake 2 pallete, shows wrong ingame when saving as wal trough Paintshop pro 7.

If you take a image made with your camera or phone and save it as a wal file trough Paintshop pro7 it will look good sometimes.

This is how the image should look

Quake 2 3.14 demo + 3.20 patch with DoD

I used Quake 2 3.20 patch over Quake 2 demo (the demo is 3.14 version) and it works with DoD. If you try to play Quake 2 demo it will not work now, because you have updated the demo.

If the controls doesent work right, change them in the control menu or restart DoD.

In the default.cfg moddify the lines below, so the secondary attack will work after that :

Edit :

 

To :

 

The Quake 2 demo and DoD is less now in Mb size also.

DoD single player works, i reached the second map. QeffectsGL doesen't work.
