I've done a lot of work to make sure that this and the other mission pack, dissolution of eternity, look different to Quake Vanilla. There's different enemy skins for all monsters, different water, sky effects, a different (transparent) heads-up display and different menu graphics. Hope you enjoy it! Thanks in particular to the QRP Team (Quake Revitalisation Project) for the great wall/floor/etc textures for MP1. Click on 'read more' for installation instructions, sources etc:
Epsilon Build Expansion - Mission Pack 1 - Scourge of Armagon

This expansion requires both the Quake epsilon build with the commercial pak0.pak and pak1.pak installed,
and a full commercial version of Quake Mission pack 1 (Scourge of Armagon) - there are no shareware versions of quake mission pack 1 or 2.
Installation and running:
========---------========
You'll need the Quake epsilon build (with full commercial .pak) installed on your computer.
1. Unzip this expansion's zip file to your quake folder (not into the id1 sub-folder).
2. Copy pak0.pak file from the "hipnotic" folder of your commercial Quake Scourge of Armagon (mission pack 1) installation to your quake epsilon "hipnotic" folder.
3. Run the game:
Windows: run (double-click) quake - mission pack 1.bat
Mac: run (double-click) quake - mission pack 1 - mac
Linux: run (double-click) quake - mission pack 1 - linux
Omitted Content:
=====----------
For legal reasons I obviously can't include the scourge of Armagon pak0.pak or soundtrack in this pack. Usually it's about $2.50-$5 on steam, depending on sales. If you're using steam the pak0.pak file will be in your steam/steamapps/common/quake/hipnotic folder.
The soundtrack is not included with the steam download but can be found around the net. Instead I've included an alternative soundtrack by Baz (Barry Gibson).
Bugs:
==---
* There are two bugs that I am aware of with the darkplaces engine and MP1: one is the gold door at the end of the first level. If you do not approach it in the correct manner, it will not open.
Workaround is: if you move to the left side of the door and slide slowly to the right while pushing into the door, you'll get it to open.
The bug also occurs in HIP3M4 (The Gauntlet) on the Silver door. If you approach it running or to the left of it, it won't open. Approach it slowly and from the right. These are the only two bugs I have encountered in quake and it's mission packs under the darkplaces engine. They are fixed in later versions of darkplaces but unfortunately those builds also introduce some bugs for mp2 at this point in time.
* If you experience rainbow-coloured textures for some objects in Mission Pack 1 or Mission Pack 2 - copy the pak0.pak from your legal copy of MP1 or MP2 into the appropriate directory (hipnotic or rogue) - cause you've forgotten to do that! ;)
