Quake 1.5 and "Scourge of Armagon"

[Big Black Boss]

So I was wondering, is it possible to play "Scourge of Armagon" with Quake 1.5 without too many bugs?

I know the expansion pack itself adds new items and enemies, but I doubt they will be a hassle.

You can not, because you can not mix mods in Quake.

I can see the confusion here. Quake 1.5 isn't a source port or version, but because it's similar to Quake 1,2 and 3 in name, you would assume this. DarkPlaces and Quake 1.5 work together, but Quake 1.5 is the mod, and DarkPlaces is the source port. I do sometimes think of DarkPlaces as a mod, because it has more "moddiness" built in, than most after market engines. If you want to try and play Scourge of Armagon using DarkPlaces, that might work.

I'm not confused about it at all, I know what both are, I'm just asking if the mod Quake 1.5 can be played with the game Scourge of Armagon in some way.

You need an engine, and mod or map(s), or both, to play ANYTHING. Neither Quake 1.5, nor Scourge of Armagon are engines, whereas DarkPlaces is an after market engine. So you can't combine mods and/or maps without an engine, and accomplish anything.

Alright, it's what "gila" said then; you sadly can't combine mods in Quake.

Basically Quake 1.5 is not a "Standalone Mod" as I thought it would be. Hell, there might not be any except a hybrid-type like "Small Mod Compilation".

Here's hoping Quake 1.5 gets out of Beta soon, or at least a Beta 2 is out that supports the two expansion packs.

Thanks for the answers.
