QuakeSpasm engine + Arcane Dimensions (Quake)

Arcane Dimensions is considered to be the best fan-made episode in the entire history of Quake 1. It offers a journey through multiple dimensions, United by a common narrative and a style of presenting action. The authors were able to harness this huge expansion, many of the ideas from Quake 2, Painkiller, Hexen 2, Daikatana, and including of the Q1 (so get ready for a pleasant allusions to the classics).

Mod neat the flow of action and not sinking in slaughter levels, offering solid trash meat. Ie enemies serves enough portions. But you can have a deadlock, so be careful. Action offers creative. You run a dozen knights? Take a look and activate traps on the wall, before trying to manually score.

Another important plus: the mod is not converted into Hexen or Doom, forcing the player dimmed circles on the location. Technical, you won't get stuck! Perhaps the location itself and crosses a few times, like a snake, but nobody will force you to go back to the beginning, since you found silver key. So with orientation on the terrain there will be no problems.

There are new monsters, new weapons and textures. Installing Arcane Dimensions very light and does not require packing files all over the directory you installed Quake I.

As set to simple way to install for the lazy:
Download ready build without new textures and models. This is an optimized vanilla version of our system with music and 3 official add-ons: Quake Episode 5 - Dimension of the Past, Quake Mission Pack 1 - Scourge of Armagon and Quake Mission Pack 2 - Dissolution of Eternity:

Install. For example, in C:\Games\Quake\

Download Arcane Dimensions from the author's website (weighs about 220Мб and need to download exactly all the Supplement as a whole, not the patches)
http://www.simonoc.com/pages/design/sp/ad.htm

Unpack files from archive to folder ad installed inside of the game. It will look like this:
C:\Games\Quake\ad

Create a txt file with the name Quake Arcane Dimensions.txt and in it write:
quakespasm.exe -game ad
Further, the extension of the file you are renaming to get Quake Arcane Dimensions.bat and start the game.

We strongly recommend to set the contrast to 50% and enable vertical sync. So Quakespasm will be felt significantly smoother than the other ports.

In QuakeSpasm default resolution is low and the mouse speed at minimum.

The authors have done is so enormous, that any Quake fan I must appreciate their creation.
Mod optimized for QuakeSpasm and the original version of Quake without fan-made textures and models! But given the literacy level of the design it all looks fresh and organic.
