Arcane Dimensions finally made it into the Moddb top 10 mods! Considering its a 24+ year old game, I think top 10 is a good victory for the Quake / Doom Communities. Hopefully this exposure will encourage more fans to try out old FPS games and maybe start modding and creating new content! Cheers everyone for the voting help :)

Thanks everyone for the support and votes :) I have always wondered why DoomWorld did not have a Quake forum as the retro gaming cross over is very strong between the two games. I certainly know of Doom mappers who make awesome Quake content as well. Having the focus and feedback from the largest Doom community would certainly benefit the Quake community and maybe open the Doom community to what is quietly being made in Quake Community as well.

Thanks everyone for the support, it is very much appreciated :) @kristus voted for doombringer

The Doom community is so lucky! They have a central forum for everything related to Doom and regular community awards that highlight new work and long standing supporters of the community. It really is amazing how Doom can be so strong and coordinated after all this time. Unfortunately the Quake community is a bit more fragmented and all over the place, but I do hope it gets there one day with everything Quake related being more central and community awards for new work. I do have a favour to ask, from one id software modder to another, could the Doom community help out a Quake mod? Would you mind voting for a Quake mod over at the moddb event? I imagine some Doom fans are going to vote for Brutal Doom, however I was hoping that they and the Doom community could help out with a vote for Arcane Dimensions as well! If you can spare the time, please vote for Arcane Dimensions here - https://www.moddb.com/groups/2020-mod-of-the-year-awards/top100#vote44264 Thanks everyone SimonOC

Time to resurrect this thread! A new version (1.8) of Arcane Dimensions (quake mod) has been released! Download from this page - http://www.simonoc.com/pages/design/sp/ad.htm The recommended client for Arcane Dimensions is Quakespasm-spiked as it retains the original feel of the game and offers plenty of Quality of Life enhancements, like unlocked frame rate, better network support and advanced particles. As always Arcane Dimensions will work with many different engines and simply adapts to what engine features are offered. Always download the latest stable build of any Quake client and please check the readme file for latest client download links. The zip file is now organized into PAK files which means its no longer a loose file format. With so much community content available for the mod its getting confusing to know what is essential anymore. Therefore I recommend that AD be installed in a new directory and all community content be migrated over or downloaded from Quaddicted again. Arcane Dimensions now comes with custom HUDs, which does not not sound like much of a big deal, however Quake engines have typically not allowed any modifications. The new HUDs only work with advanced engines (QSS / FTE / DP) and are enabled by default. To change the HUD style or switch them off, please refer to the quake.rc (text file) for further details.
