I adore Quake custom levels, but any time I want to play one, the half thousand source ports, the accessory tools to manage wads that work only on Windows (I'm on Linux), figuring out how to get a shady copy of the original .wad from shady sites, all send my brain into analysis paralysis and I just lose any interest. I must have tried half a dozen times over the years, and every time there's even more options and recommendations than last time.
I think it's a lot easier to run mods with the Linux source ports and so far I've had no issues running arcane dimensions (AD).
To run that mod from a CLI with most source ports, you just need to make sure that you specify a path to your original Quake .PAK files and set the -gamedir to the path of your AD mod folder.
I downloaded the arcane dimensions mod from here: https://www.moddb.com/mods/arcane-dimensions/downloads/arcan...
I hope that helps!
Arcane Dimensions is worth the effort.
OK you guys convinced me. Just tested it now, plays really good
I love it and with the original music it's even better, especially the levels in the second chapters hub
