Quake Enhancement Projects
I thought that, for the fans of the original Quake, we could list the enhancement projects that we've come across in an effort to be able to make Quake look, sound and play as awesome as possible.
I'll keep this list updated to the best of my ability. Suggestions are encouraged.
- Please read the installation instructions for each mod you intend to install -
Map & Item Textures:
Quake Revitalization Project (http://facelift.quakedev.com/) -
An ambitious project to retexture Quake and it's items, usable in multiple source ports.
Rygel's Textures (for Darkplaces): Tiny (http://shub-hub.com/files/textures_replacement/rygel-dp-texturepack-tiny.pk3) - Small (http://shub-hub.com/files/textures_replacement/rygel-dp-texturepack-small.pk3) - High (http://games.on.net/file/14291/Rygels_High_hi-res_texture_pack_for_LordHavocs_DarkPlaces_Quake_m od) - Ultra (http://shub-hub.com/files/textures_replacement/darkplaces-ultimate-replacement-pack.zip) - Ultimate (http://shub-hub.com/files/textures_replacement/darkplaces-ultimate-replacement-pack.zip) - Rygel Quake Page (http://www.repage8.de/member/rygel) (in German and some links are dead)
A set of fairly well known (within the Quake community) textures for use with Darkplaces, you can download them at ridiculous resolutions but the smaller resolutions (small and high) still look great and won't destroy your bandwidth (as much).
Monster Skins:
Quake Reforged Project (http://quakeone.com/reforged/index.html): Beastiary
The Quake Reforged project is a project to provide new skins and textures for Quake and the two official expansions. Monster skins for the original quake are available now in small, normal and high versions.
Models:
Ruohis Models ++ (http://quakeone.com/forums/quake-mod-releases/finished-works/6306-ruohis-models.html) - New models for items.
Sound:
Mindgrid Audio (http://www.mindabuse.com/mindgrid/audio/quake/) - High quality replacements for the sounds in Quake.
Music:
If you bought Quake through Steam there is one very important component missing from the package--the original score by Trent Reznor. Unfortunately, I don't think I can distribute the original music, however, if you have an original Quake CD you can rip the music to .ogg format (using CDex (http://cdexos.sourceforge.net/) or a like program) and place it in a folder following this format:
*Steam install directory*\steamapps\common\quake\sound\cdtracks\t rack**.ogg
where ** is the track number (02-11), this way you can use the music and not have to have the CD in the drive when playing.
Other:
DP Pretty Water (for Darkplaces) (http://quakeone.com/forums/quake-mod-releases/finished-works/6094-dp-pretty-water-update.html)- DP Pretty Water is pretty much what it's name says it is; pretty water for Darkplaces.
Quake Injector Alpha 2 (http://www.quaddicted.com/quake-injector/quake-injector-alpha2) - Quake Injector is a Java application that lets you select, download and play (with your favorite engine/source port) any single player quake map from the Quaddicted.com archive (pretty much all the single player maps that are available on the net). Awesome application for Quake single player addicts.
