Quake 2 MD2 – Mazen Opossum

Mazen Title.

Because we were super bored, we are republishing our very first Quake 2 character, Mazen.

A long time ago and many computers passed we created our very first quake2 model. It was supposed to be an anthropomorphic Opossum by the name of "Mazen" and he was a model that can be used in quake2 for multiplayer deathmatches. Although getting the exact date and time of creation was difficult. I wrote a PDF tutorial on making quake2 and quake 3 models which had a creation date of October 14th of 2001. However, the last modified date of Mazen was March 03, of 2004. So we will go off of the last known edit date and place this blog entry on that date to not alarm anyone that this is "New" content we are adding here.

Between the creation of Quake 2 XP edition which had high-res textures as well as the RTX edition. We couldn't just release the classic Opossum model by itself. For starters, it couldn't even load in Quake 2 XP because the PCX images used were in a non-standard format. Well. We corrected that, as well as videos and downloads showing the entire process.

Broken Links and hotlink protection enabled blog title

Binary files are protected from hot-linking.

Hello, denizens of the internet! You are probably wondering why are you seeing this page instead of that magical download file button, aren't you? You have received this page instead of the binary because external websites, forums, and YouTube content creators are trying to hot-link to files on my site while taking credit for hosting them. If you are the 3rd party which made the link. Here is what you can do to correct the problem:

  • You could link to the blog containing my binary in an effort to give bloggers like us credit for hosting the file. If you link to the blog and your readers click on the download in that blog. They will receive the file!
  • You can download and host the binaries themselves through whatever freeware mal-ware infested pay-per-click based hosting service there is.
  • If you DO care about your readers/subscribers like we do; You could host your own binaries by paying for a hosting service. Many of the binaries I mention in blog articles are not owned by us. They exist simply as a convenience for others who visit my blog articles.

To any readers seeing this page we apologize for not giving you the binary but these actions are necessary as we are a blog. Not a file distribution service.
