>hey, why has no one made any replacement HUD graphics for Quake?
>the actual layout is hard-coded, but the graphics themselves could still be fiddled with, people replace menu graphics regularly
>turns out the menu and title graphics and etc. are .lmp (lump) files stored nicely in PAK0.pak\gfx\
>that's where all the lumps are
>except for the status bar, inventory bar, and facepics, which are .lmp files but stored in PAK0.pak\gfx.wad, but they aren't actual texture files like .wads are supposed to contain so every editor and archive packer throws a fit because none of the filetypes match what they should
>oh and if you want to use a custom palette? gooooooooooood fucking luck
