Arcane Dimensions Mod

Download it on Quaddicted here.[www.quaddicted.com] Rated 5/5 stars. Make sure and use the Quakespasm engine or similar modern source port.

It is super cool yep. :-) More screenshots and info at its ModDB page: http://www.moddb.com/mods/ad

For anyone downloading it, make sure you also get the patch[www.quaddicted.com]. (This is the "ad_v1_42patch2.zip" file linked on Quaddicted or on its ModDB page. There was an older patch but you don't need that one anymore.) Install the mod first in some mod folder, then put the patch's files in on top of it, to add or replace some of the mod's files. The patch fixes a lot of stuff, adds support for some other Quake engines, and adds two more maps.

And if it's been a while since you downloaded Quakespasm, you might also want to get the latest version of that[quakespasm.sourceforge.net]. Arcane Dimensions is made to work with the version of Quakespasm that was released on Jan 18.

Just to push this on top again. Currently playing through this campaign and having a blast. If you are new to Quake, play through the original campaign first. For all the others who are coming back - grab Quakespasm and this immediately if you are remotely interested in Quake singleplayer.

Hey if we're going to bump this we should mention that the 1.5 version of the mod has been released, with many new maps and other stuff:

Also, the Mark V Quake engine has had an official/stable release. This is similar to Quakespasm, but several other nice features and quality-of-life stuff, and good default settings. Worth a look: http://quakeone.com/markv/

Okay, I have installed the Mark V engine, but I'm not sure on how to play AD via it, as I'm pretty new to mods in Quake, in general. What will I need to do?

The cookie cutter method of playing mods in Quake is

1. Extract the mod folder (folder containing .pak files) to the QUAKE directory (i.e. ./QUAKE/AD)
2. Create a shortcut or batch file that starts the Quake build in the normal way with the argument -game [mod] in there (i.e. MarkV.exe -game AD or whatever the Mark V executible is called)
3. Run the shortcut or batch file

Thank you. Now I'm gonna dive into this mod feet first!
