Mike-D’s Quake II Models/Skins Page

One of the coolest things about Quake II is the ability to have addons. Not just new skins but models as well! On this page I will try to list some of the ones I think are cool and give you locations to download them from.

The file includes 2 models, 10 skins, CTF skins, sounds and “full support” for the Viewable Weapons Patch all in one package! The Morticus model is just the Necromicus model without the wings.When you install the files, they will default to your c:\quake2\baseq2\players\ directory, so if you installed Quake II somewhere else you need to specify where.

Well Dan Bickell has done it again and made Star Wars fans even happier. To help combat the shenanigans of Boba Fett he has created a great Han Solo model. The 3 skins are extremely detailed and he handles his blaster like a pro. It will be so cool to see both models running around killing each other.

Oh man! I have been waiting for this model for a long time now and I was not dissapointed at all!! It was created by Aaron Webster who did a great job with actually creating real life emotions and gestures. The look of fear in Homer’s face during the pain animations is just hilarious. A full set of sounds are included with the model, and there is another sound pack I found a while ago as well!! Both of thm will make you laugh out loud while your are fraggin’…When you install the files, they will default to your c:\quake2\baseq2\players\homer\ directory, so if you installed Quake II somewhere else you need to specify where.

Darth Maul Model (611 kb)

Woo Hoo!! This is a model I am sure everybody has been waiting for. It was created byWrath who has given us an amazing recreation of the evil Sith Lord. My only complaint is that there aren’t any sounds, but after watching the movie there is a reason for that….there ain’t much. There is only the one weapon, but again, who cares!?! The double sided light saber is rad! Stop reading and download this now!!When you install the files, they will default to your c:\quake2\baseq2\players\lordmaul\directory, so if you installed Quake II somewhere else you need to specify where.

Who is this Mike-D fellow??

Bio

I was born on a small farm in Montana…no wait that wasn’t me…

Let’s see…I have lived most of my life in sunny New Mexico enjoying the southwestern style. In my free time I like to chill with my homeys mountain biking, playing golf, four wheeling, playing tennis or watching flicks. In this area we can pretty much do these things all year round. Sure it gets a little toasty during July and it feels like my face is going to melt off, but overall a nice climate.

What I Have Learned . . .

After the usual traumatic experience of High School I began my trek for higher education at New Mexico State University. That trek lasted for 5 1/2 years while I tried my hand at Electrical Engineering, roomed with some demented yet trusted friends, ate abnormal quantities of Ramen noodles and Raviolis, and finally finished up with a degree in Computer Science.

Where I Have Labored . . .

Right after graduation I started work at Terametrix. I worked on their PC based telemetry system software, did technical support, sales and support trips and whatever else was needed. There are a ton of extremely talented people that have worked there and still do. I learned a ton of things during my time with them. In fact I made some great friends there and still enjoy spending time with ’em.

After about 3 years I quit and started work at Action Systems doing integration of mobile information systems. The systems are mobile offices with laptops, digital cameras, color printers, and color scanners, all contained in a battery or 110V/220V case. Customer specific configurations have been sold that include everything from cell phones to GPS products.

Currently I am back on the NMSU campus working on particle simulation software. I am thrilled to be back programming and working on projects closer to what I recieved my degree in. It even looks as if I will get to do some work with OpenGL, so maybe I’ll have to make my own version of Quake!!

By Any Other Name . . .

If you care about the name Mike-D I’ll give you a quick history . . . during my senior year of high school the Beastie Boys came out with an album called Licensed to Ill, which I loved. No emmy award winning stuff here, but it was extremely different from anything I had heard. One of the members was a guy name Mike Diamond, and being a pseudo rap group they didn’t go by their real names, they had to make up kewl hip rap/gang names so they sounded dope. This guy went by the name Mike-D and I thought to myself, “Hey! That would work for my name!” (I was really sharp in high school) Being a completely egocentric person I began using the Mike-D name and writing and drawing it everywhere I could. The newest metamorphosis has manifested itself in cyberspace and here you are!

What I Am Absorbing . . .

Whew! I finally finished Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. It was very enjoyable and I am glad I read it, however I still feel like he could have cut about 20% of the material and been fine. The character development was awesome and the many twists not present in the movie were a pleasant surprise.

I also read Anthem by Ayn Rand which was only about 100 pages. Written in 1937 and revised in 1946 for America, this is similar toA Brave New World or Logan’s Run. It is worth a couple of hours of your time.

What I Am Hearing . . .

Listen up B-Boy fans!! If you haven’t picked up the new Beastie Boys album by now shame on you! This is by far my favorite album from them since the classic Licensed To Ill. It has been in my truck CD player for about 3 weeks straight now. It is dope and phat and you need to add it to your collection. Then stop by their illin’ web site and enjoy more cyber madness.

Friends

I know it is hard to believe but I do have a few…

This started out to be a roast of my acquaintances but life has shown me that one of the best things in life is somebody you can truly call a friend. So the sarcasm will be put on hold for just a bit.

Bink

The man, the myth, the legend…Ken Binkley! This fella has kept me sane for over 10 years now. I was his Best Man when he married his wonderful wife Becky and hope to return the favor when Ifinally find mine. I can honestly say that 50% of Mike-D comes from my life with the Bink…

David Welch

If it wasn’t for David I would still be programming in BASIC and commenting my code. He taught me more about software engineering in a month at Terametrix than my 5 1/2 years of academia. He digs hot air ballooning, movies and drums. To found out more check out his rockin’ domain atwww.dwelch.com.

Clayton Brown

Few people on this planet have had the stamina and patience to be my roomate. Our similar interests in school and life made it an absolute blast to live together. Whether it helped or hindered our graduation schedule I can’t say, but I made a friend for life. As a bonus I met his generous family and fiance and now have a surrogate family to boot!

Robert Sharp

Also known as snipus testus this gangling species is a rare treat. At first glance its cognitive skills seem to be lacking but it makes up for this deficiency with an amazing grasp of the obvious. On the positive side its loyalty to similar species is extremely high and its young are surprisingly adorable.

Steven Peralta

For a golfing buddy extraordinaire look no further. Steve and his son have made an often frustrating game fun and humorous. He digs it and racing so stop by his homepage to get your fix. Unlike the rest of us he still works at Terametrix and is mechanically engineering as we speak…

Dan Green

Although indigenous to this area Mr. Green has migrated away. He is a survivor of the Terametrixtest site and has the scars to prove it! He is a new father with a lovely family. Stop by his homepagefor a glimpse into the life of DanVerde!

Brett Off

If Jimmy Buffet had a brother, it would be Brett Off. The first brave soul to venture outside the walls ofTerametrix he now runs his own company called Coyote Cabling. If you need help laughing at life just give Brett a call or stop by his homepage.

4X4

One of my favorite hobbies is to take my Nissan truck out to the boonies and try to destroy it. New Mexico has some wonderful terrain for this and it is much easier to damage your vehicle than you would think. So far though, I have done more damage to my truck on regular highways than any of my 4-wheel outings…

Sometimes I stumble across a lesser vehicle that might need some help. As you can see here this poor US Army transport needed a little boost from my 4×4 beast!

Alas there are those times when not even my 4×4 beast can help. After two stock Nissan vehicles fought through the mud, my dear friend Snip did not have the same luck. I guess we know what the Sub in Suburban stands for now…

Rappel

For those times that 4-wheeling is just not exciting enough, my friend Vic likes to take me out for a little rappelling. This area has some great places to try it out and here are some shots from my first outing.

After nearly soiling my shorts the first time, I went out again with a couple more friends. This time we went to an even bigger rock and actually had even more fun! Needless to say, I can’t wait for the next outing.
