This is the most up-to-date and the best combination package you could ever use to play quake in true High Definition with special effects. This mod has many textures, progs, and effects from Rygel, Seven, Ruohis, Moon[Drunk], etc. The Darkplaces engine is the most current as well. It took me years of waiting and collaboration to put them all into their respective pk3, pak, and autoexec.cfg files. No need to run any kind of vispatch for water effects. Just drop the files into the Quake directory and your good to go!
Remove any charm of the original game, take crispy high res textures and artificial normal maps, slap them all over the low detail brushwork of 1996, with high poly models with eye-searing lighting effects and put it all in the darkplaces engine, let it cook for 9 years and you are left with a visually conflicting mess that is a pain on the eyes.
Excellent compilation with a classic/vanilla feel. Looks amazing!
GOOD~!
