How To Install Arcane Dimensions

  • 1How do I obtain the DUSK SDK?

I open up QSS, type 'game ad', start a new game and when I look in the console, I see 'Info Arcane Dimensions v1.70 Patch 1'. The result is the HUD doesn't display properly and although I can load the two news maps, they don't display/run properly. Install Arcane Dimensions: Create an empty folder in the top level of the Quake directory and name it 'ad' Download Arcane Dimensions and dump the.zip contents into the 'ad' folder. Download the latest patch and dump that.zip's contents into 'ad', overwriting existing files when asked. Install Quake soundtrack (optional).

How do I obtain the DUSK SDK?[edit]

That's assuming that you have the Arcane Dimensions files in a folder named 'ad'. If this isn't working, you might need to tell us more about exactly where you have put quakespasm.exe, and your 'id1' folder, and the 'ad' folder. (They should all be in the same containing folder.).

Steam[edit]

If you purchased DUSK through Steam, you can access the SDK through the dusk_sdk branch.

In order to access this branch, locate DUSK in your Steam library and enter its properties menu by right clicking on it.

Arcane Dimensions is considered to be the best fan-made episode in the entire history of Quake 1. It offers a journey through multiple dimensions, United by a common narrative and a style of presenting action. The authors were able to harness this huge expansion, many of the ideas from Quake 2, Painkiller, Hexen 2, Daikatana, and including of the Q1 (so get ready for a pleasant allusions to. Arcane World is a medium sized magic mod adding some arcane arts to your Minecraft game. This mod is currently in BETA. While it should be fairly stable, I'd suggest waiting for the full release. Features: Not all feature of the mod are listed here. While the mod is in beta, this will be an incomplete list. Rituals are cast using a ritual table.

Once you have opted into the dusk_sdk branch as pictured above, Steam will begin downloading the SDK.

In order to launch the SDK, play DUSK via the green 'PLAY' button on Steam and choose 'Launch Dusk SDK'.

Note that launching the game through the downloads tab or through a desktop shortcut will not launch the SDK.

Alternatively, you may navigate to the game directory and run dusk_win.bat in the SDK folder.

If you notice a brand new 'Modding' option at the main menu, then you have successfully launched the SDK.

GOG[edit]

If you purchased DUSK through GOG, you can access the SDK through a private channel named SDK.

Locate DUSK in your GOG library and navigate to Manage Installation -> Configure.

You should now see an option to enable beta channels. If you are running GOG Galaxy 2.0, navigate to the Installation tab and choose 'Change private channel password', which can be found in the beta channels dropdown. When prompted, enter oohagiantbarn.

The SDK private channel should now be available to you. Once you have installed it, you may launch the SDK by navigating to the game's installation folder and running dusk_win.bat inside the SDK folder.

What can I do with the SDK?[edit]

Currently the Dusk SDK can be used to create and load custom levels and replace most sounds and textures. Replacing models, music, all sounds/textures, scripting etc are all planned at a future time.

Where do I find mods?[edit]

Dusk mods can be found on duskmods.com and the Dusk ModDB page. For more information join the New Blood Discord. You can also check out the Dusk subreddit

How do I make maps?[edit]

Any map editor capable of exporting Quake-Half-life .bsps should be compatible with Dusk. TrenchBroom is the officially suggested mapping software.

How do I assemble my mod?[edit]

  1. Create a folder in SDK/mnt/local/ and name it whatever you want your mod to show up as in the in-game menu.
  2. Inside that folder, textures/sounds/maps should be placed in corresponding folders named texturessounds and maps.
  3. If you want sounds and textures to replace the default ones, name them the same thing as the corresponding sound/texture found in SDK/mnt/local/sounds/ or SDK/mnt/local/textures/ (the file extension needs to be the same as well).
  4. Make sure to activate the mod in the modding menu.
  5. See 'Running Mods' for information on how to load mods/maps.

How do I run Quake maps?[edit]

Quake maps can be found inside [Quake install location]/id1/PAK0.PAK and [Quake install location]/id1/PAK1.PAK. To extract them, you will need a program such as Pak Explorer or Slade3.

  1. Create a folder in [DUSK install location]/mnt/local/ named 'quake maps' (although this can be named whatever you want).
  2. Place Quake's palette.lmp file here, and create a new folder named 'maps' (this CANNOT be named whatever you want).
  3. Place your Quake maps inside that folder.
  4. Run the Dusk SDK (for more information see 'How do I get the SDK?' above).
  5. On the main menu click 'modding' and ensure 'quake maps' (or whatever you've named it) is enabled.
  6. Back out of the 'modding' menu and click 'campaign' then 'custom level.'
  7. Select the map you wish to play from the list, choose your difficulty, and have fun!

Note that some entities and functionality from Quake are yet to be implemented, or still require improvement.

How do I run Half-life maps?[edit]

Half-life maps can be found in the [Half-life install location]/valve/maps/ folder and do not need a special program to be extracted. Anything with a '.bsp' extension is a map.

  1. Create a folder in [DUSK install location]/mnt/local/ named 'half-life maps' (although this can be named whatever you want).
  2. Create a new folder inside this named 'maps' (this CANNOT be named whatever you want).
  3. Place your Half-life maps inside that folder.
  4. Run the Dusk SDK (for more information see 'How do I get the SDK?' above).
  5. On the main menu click 'modding' and ensure 'half-life maps' (or whatever you've named it) is enabled.
  6. Back out of the 'modding' menu and click 'campaign' then 'custom level.'
  7. Select the map you wish to play from the list, choose your difficulty, and have fun!

Many Half-life maps also require accompanying wad files for textures. These can be found in the [Half-life install location]/valve/ folder. Copy everything with a '.wad' extension and paste them into your 'half-life maps' folder (or whatever you've named it). Note that these should be in the same folder as 'maps,' NOT in the 'maps' folder itself.

Note that many entities and most functionality from Half-life are yet to be implemented or are only partially implemented. Also note that Dusk does not currently support Half-life style level transitions, so entering any level transition trigger will cause the end level screen to be displayed and the next level to be loaded anew.

Can I run user maps made for Quake/Half-life?[edit]

In most cases, yes. Dusk should be able to load user maps for Quake/Half-life using the respective methods outlined above. However this is highly dependent on the map in question, and we can't guarantee compatibility. Also note that larger Quake maps such as those in Arcane Dimensions and Wrath can technically be loaded but currently experience significant issues.
