Note: md2 is considered deprecated.
 
The brace-enclosed block may contain these instructions:
 
: <span {{Def subelement}}>scale <i><value></i></span>

: <span {{Def subelement}}>shade <i><shade-offset></i></span>
 
: <i><shade-offset></i> is an integer value specifying how much to bias the sprite's shade value by. A negative value for this makes the model brighter. Conversely, a positive value makes it darker.
 
: <span {{Def subelement}}>zadd <i><offset></i></span>
 
: <i><offset></i> is a (possibly fractional) value specifying a height offset for the model. Quake models are aligned in the center while Build models are aligned at the floor. Using this command will allow Build to use Quake models without modification to the MD2/3 file itself.
 
: <span {{Def subelement}}>flags <i><flags></i></span>
 
: Specifies any special properties the model should have, the values of which should be added together to combine multiple options.
: 0: default value<br />
: 1: Prevents the the model from being affected by the tints.<br />
 
: <span {{Def subelement}}>skin <i>{ ... }</i></span>

:: Specifies the texture file to use for the skin. File may be any PNG, JPG, TGA, BMP, GIF or PCX file
 
:: IMPORTANT: If your model exists in a subdirectory (ie. the model filename includes a path to the .md2/3) you will need to give the same path to filename if the skin is in the same directory.
 
: <span {{Def subelement}}>anim <i>{ ... }</i></span>
 
: Defines an animation from a group of frames in the model. The brace-enclosed block may contain these instructions:
 
:: <span {{Def subelement}}>frame0 <i><framename></i></span><br />

:: Specifies the names of the start (<b>frame0</b>) and end (<b>frame1</b>) frames of the animation.
 
:: <span {{Def subelement}}>fps <i><fps></i></span>
 
:: Specifies the frame rate at which the animation should play. This value may be fractional.
 
:: <span {{Def subelement}}>flags <i><flags></i></span>
 
:: Specifies any special properties the animation should have, the values of which should be added together to combine multiple options.
 
:: Valid options are:
:: 0 none (looping animation)<br />
:: 1 one-shot (plays beginning to end once and stops on the last frame).
 
: <span {{Def subelement}}>frame <i>{ ... }</i></span>
 
: Defines a range of ART-file tiles to correspond with the given frame/animation of the model. The brace-enclosed block may contain these instructions:
 
:: <span {{Def subelement}}>name <i><framename></i></span><br />
:: <span {{Def subelement}}>frame <i><framename></i></span>
 
:: If <i><framename></i> is identical to the starting frame of an animation, the engine will play that animation, otherwise the replacement will be static. You can choose to use the <b>frame</b> or <b>name</b> versions of this instruction as both are identical.
 
:: <span {{Def subelement}}>tile <i><tilenum></i></span><br />
:: <span {{Def subelement}}>tile0 <i><tilenum></i></span><br />
:: <span {{Def subelement}}>tile1 <i><tilenum></i></span>
 
:: Use the tile instruction to specify an ART-file tile which this model should replace. Use the <b>tile0</b> and <b>tile1</b> instructions together to specify a range of ART-file tiles. If you use <b>tile0</b>, you must also have a <b>tile1</b>. You may not use the same instruction twice to specify multiple ranges.
 
:: <span {{Def subelement}}>smoothduration <i><value></i></span>
 
:: If smoothduration is non-zero switching from another animation to the one defined by that frame block will trigger an intermediary animation smoothing state of duration <i><value></i> seconds.
 
:: <span {{Def subelement}}>pal <i><value></i></span>
 
:: Makes the model definition exclusive for the this pal. This allow to assign different models for different pal.
 
: <span {{Def subelement}}>hud <i>{ ... }</i></span>

:: <span {{Def subelement}}>tile <i><tilenum></i></span><br />
:: <span {{Def subelement}}>tile0 <i><tilenum></i></span><br />
:: <span {{Def subelement}}>tile1 <i><tilenum></i></span>
 
:: <b>tile0</b> and <b>tile1</b> together specify a range of ART-file tiles which this model frame should replace when rendered as part of the HUD. You can specify individual tiles using a single tile command.
   
:: <span {{Def subelement}}>xadd <i><offset></i></span><br />
:: <span {{Def subelement}}>yadd <i><offset></i></span><br />
:: <span {{Def subelement}}>zadd <i><offset></i></span><br />
:: <span {{Def subelement}}>angadd <i><offset></i></span>
 
:: Use these offsets to fine-tune the location of the model placement. <b>xadd</b>, <b>yadd</b>, and <b>zadd</b> are position offsets relative to the viewer's orienation. You can use floating point values with them. <b>angadd</b> is a Build angle offset. (512 90 degrees, 1024 180 degrees, etc...).
 
:: <span {{Def subelement}}>hide</span>
 
:: Some weapons use multiple ART tiles for constructing the gun or animation. Use this option to hide parts that you don't need in your replacement.
 
:: <span {{Def subelement}}>nobob</span>
 
:: By default, the HUD model offset is affected by the player bobbing offset when the player is walking. Use this option to disable that.
 
:: <span {{Def subelement}}>flipped</span>
 
:: Use this option to apply the settings inside the hud block only if the object is normally rendered x-flipped (mirror image). Some weapons, such as the devastator, are rendered in 2 pieces, the left devastator is actually a mirror image of the right.
 
:: <span {{Def subelement}}>nodepth</span>
 
:: Use this to render a HUD model without the use of the depth buffer. Normally, you should avoid this. The one exception where this is useful is for the spinning nuke menu pointer because it should always be in front - and it just happens to be convex ... which is the one case that is safe with the depth buffer disabled … a rather fortunate coincidence.

:: <span {{Def subelement}}>scale <i><value></i></span>
 
:: <i><value></i> is a positive floating-point value that'll determine how much your detail map should repeat on your diffuse map (if you want your detail map to repeat five times, use a 1/5 scale : 0.2).
 
:: <span {{Def subelement}}>surface <i><surfnum></i></span>
 
:: Specifies which MD3 surface this detail texture should be applied to. This has no significance for MD2 models.
 
: <span {{Def subelement}}>glow <i>{ ... }</i></span>
 
: Defines a [[Glow_mapping|glow map]] for the model. The brace-enclosed block may contain these instructions:

== Un-Definitions ==
 
The main use for these is for cases in which the .ART files are somewhat different, and you want to ensure compatibility for the new art without new textures or models. A good example of this is [http://hendricks266.duke4.net/nw_plus.html Duke: Nuclear Winter Plus] by [[User:Hendricks 266|Hendricks266]]. (see undef.def)

=====<div {{Def link}}>2dcol</div>=====
 
<span {{Def element}}>2dcol <i><colornum> <red> <green> <blue></i></span>
 
<b>2dcol</b> is a definition of a color to be used in the 2D mode of [[Mapster32]], in conjunction with <b>spritecol</b> that works similarly to <b>tint</b> and <b>definetint</b>. <i><colornum></i> is a unique identifier, similar to [[define|defines]] and [[gamevar|gamevars]]. <i><red></i>, <i><green></i>, and <i><blue></i> are the RGB color values that are mixed together to get your custom color.
 
Certain low values are already hard-coded, and redefining them will change colors of the default layout. If you know the correct value, you can replace the default colors used for <b>all</b> the sprites. You truly have the power to customize Mapster32. Lime green 2D mode background, anyone?

=====<div {{Def link}}>spritecol</div>=====
 
<span {{Def element}}>spritecol <i><tilenum> <normalcolornum> <blockingcolornum></i></span>
 
<b>spritecol</b> is a definition of the color a sprite will appear in 2D mode, instead of the standard sky blue and hot pink, or another special color (like yellow for hard-coded enemies or white for the [[Special_Sprite_Reference_Guide|special sprites]]). <b><''normalcolornum''></b> is the <b><''colornum''></b> of the <b>2dcol</b> definition of your color for the standard sprite color as defined by <b><''tilenum''></b>. The same goes for <b><''blockingcolornum''></b>, except that this value is for when the sprite has the first bit of [[cstat]] set (1) (<code>[']+[B]</code> keys in [[Mapster32]]), which is the blocking flag.

<span {{Def element}}>definetexture <i><tile-number> <palette-number> <x-center> <y-center> <x-size> <y-size> <filename></i></span>
 
Defines a Hightile texture to replace an ART-file picture. <i><tile-number></i> may be an number, or a defined label. Use a value of 0 for <i><x-center></i> and <i><y-center></i> and a value of -1 for <i><x-size></i> and <i><y-size></i> for now until these values are actually used. <i><filename></i> may be any PNG, JPG, TGA, BMP, GIF or PCX file.

=====<div {{Def link}}>definetint</div>=====
 
<span {{Def element}}>definetint <i><palette-number> <red> <green> <blue> <flags></i></span>
 
Defines a Hightile texture tint to simulate palette effects normally used on ART-file tiles. <i><red></i>, <i><green></i>, and <i><blue></i> are numbers in the range 0 to 255 which specify the color the tint should look like. <i><flags></i> specifies any processing effects to use. Valid values are:
 
0 no effects<br />
1 convert to greyscale<br />
2 invert colours<br />
 
These values can be added together to produce a combination of effects.

=====<div {{Def link}}>definemodel</div>=====
 
<span {{Def element}}>definemodel <i><filename> <scale> <shade-offset></i></span>
 
Defines an MD2/3-format model file to replace certain sprites in the game. See <b>definemodelframe</b> and <b>definemodelanim</b> for details on how to specify the ART-file tiles to replace. <i><filename></i> is the name of the MD2/3 model. <i><scale></i> is a (possibly fractional) value specifying a scaling factor for the model when it is rendered, eg. 1.5 for one-and-a-half times as big. <i><shade-offset></i> is an integer value specifying how much to bias the sprite's shade value by. A negative value for this makes the model brighter. Conversely, a positive value makes it darker.
 
: <span {{Def subelement}}>definemodelskin <i><palette-number> <filename></i></span>
 
: Defines a skin to be used on the model for all frames declared after this command, when the sprite palette is equal to <i><palette-number></i>. (This makes more sense when given a demonstration.) IMPORTANT: If your model exists in a subdirectory (ie. <b>definemodel</b> includes a path to the .md2/3) you will need to give the same path to filename if the skin is in the same directory.
 
: <span {{Def subelement}}>selectmodelskin <i><skin ID></i></span>
 
: Selects a model skin.
 
: <span {{Def subelement}}>definemodelanim <i><start-frame> <end-frame> <frame-rate> <flags></i></span>
 
: Defines an animation from a group of frames in the model given by the last preceding <b>definemodel</b> instruction. <i><start-frame></i> and <i><end-frame></i> specify the names of the starting and ending frames of the animation. <i><frame-rate></i> is the frame rate at which the animation should play. This value can be fractional. <i><flags></i> specifies any special properties the animation should have. Valid options are:
 
: 0 none (looping animation)<br />
: 1 one-shot (plays beginning to end once and stops on the last frame)
 
: <span {{Def subelement}}>definemodelframe <i><frame-name> <first-tile> <last-tile></i></span>
 
: Defines a range of ART-file tiles to correspond with the given frame of the model specified in the last preceding <b>definemodel</b> instruction. <i><frame-name></i> is the name of the frame, which if identical to the starting frame of a <b>definemodelanim</b> animation will play that animation. If <i><frame-name></i> is not corresponding with an animation, the replacement will be static. <i><first-tile></i> and <i><last-tile></i> specify a range of ART-file tiles which this model frame should replace.
