I think this is what you mean.

Put the skin in the correct folder be it male/female etc then enter the game, go to the MULTIPLAYER section of the menu, enter, then player setup. Then toggle through the skin you want. Also a better way to do it is to create an "autoexec.cfg" and type this line in it ."set skin male/grunt" where male/grunt is the skin of your choice. To find out about autoexecs i think these guys still have info on them http://www.upsetchaps.com/ hope this helps

Or if it's a new model, check the readme that came with it. Make a new folder in quake2/baseq2/players/ and call it whatever it says. If it is a model I would reckon you read it and it isn't there. Make a folder with the name of the model (i.e. carrot or superninjawarrior or whatever it may be) and unzip everything in there.

Voila, it's in the player setup screen.

Again, you can do it in your config a la
skin model/skin

where the model is the name of the folder and the skin is the name of one of the skins (doh)

If you want a cool model (lame plug warning) get the carrot from polycount. They said it was crap but that doesn't stop lots of people using it (yay) and I don't think it's that bad. They just don't have a sense of humour

Yay! Another Carrot fan

Should I plug it again? hmm, hard to resist but I will for now.

Okay, I presume you've unzipped it to quake2/baseq2/players

What you should have done is created a new folder in players called carrot.

So unzip it to

quake2/baseq2/players/carrot/

sorted.

Bah, shoulda went to bed but it was pulling me back (hence the edit). Here's me lamely plugging again...
