BTW...what would u like to put into q2? ur own skins? or what?

[upp3r]

so, thanks for help. i have found a way to put icons on screen.
all u have to do is:
1) take some image/icon form quake2 pak file
2) change its format to bmp
3) open in paint, and edit it
4) save it in bmp,
5) change its format again to pcx. this way all the palete will not mix colors:)
