It is currently compatible with Doom, Heretic and Hexen.
There are no Quake monsters for this mod. You're supposed to be Ranger playing through the worlds of Doom, Heretic and Hexen. Only some Doom monsters have been modified to use Quake weapons/projectiles instead.
Heretic and Hexen were the main focus. Doom may have a bit of inconsistencies with items.

Spoiler: Details and Credits (Open)Differences from Quake
- You still have Doomguy Speed and Friction, but Hexen jump height
- Most ammo give a reduced amount due to how common ammo is
- You will start with half the maximum ammo from Quake with Rockets and Cells. "Backpacks of various ammo" will give you the default maximum.
- Some items have different functionality, runes also have different looks
- Projectiles have no distance limits, bullets and lightning still does for now
- Thunderbolt updates twice as fast and plays the lightning sound twice as often, but damage is halved per shot
- Particle effects are better than Quake's but try their best to look like ZDoom's ones
- Super Nailgun appears to fire a little differently, I couldn't be assed to make it the same as Quake while retaining Zandronum online compatibility.
- Nails have short visible trails
- Explosive Box is limited to the small one
Differences from Doom/Hexen/Heretic stuff that isn't replaced
- Removed Health Bonus, Armor Bonus, Teleport and Teleport Other.
- Shotgunguy uses the Shotgun, drops Shell backpack, health 25, replaces Zombieman
- Zombieman uses the Laser Rifle from the Quake Enforcers, fires once, drops Cell backpack, health 50, replaces Shotgunguy
- ChaingunGuy fires Nails which are the same as the ones from the Nailgun, drops Nail backpack, health 70
- WolfensteinSS uses the Super Shotgun, fires once, drops Shell backpack, health 50
- SpiderMastermind fires Super Nails
- All Heretic Monsters had their drops removed
Known Bugs
- Player won't use their Axe states online
- Axe has a delay before swinging online, but the delay is only visual and it's based off your ping.
Limitations/Quirks
- Some weapons may be accompanied by the wrong ammo items.
- The Thunderbolt is unobtainable in the 1st few levels, I made it switch to the Massive Health Box. First few levels per episode with Doom and Heretic.
- Q has models, but if you have them enabled without models for the IWADs, there will be a mix of sprites and models.
- I couldn't add animated pickup effects to the HUD
- Non Quake Ammo and Armor will still appear on the HUD. An example is IDFA in Doom will give you the Blue Armor.
- Explosion particles bounce around have physics instead of being purely visual
Incompatabilities
- Mods that add new weapons - You won't be able to use them, or they will overwrite this mod's KEYCONF and other weapons.
- Mods that contain LOCKDEFS - Since this mod uses the Quake keys, I had to adjust the default lockdefs file and add it to this mod. Mods like KDIZD, which add custom keys, needs to have a patch made for it.
- Mods that contain SBARINFO - Unless Q is loaded last, the HUD will be replaced and will be mostly non functional.
Slight Incompatabilities
- Mods that change vanilla Monsters - Unless Q is loaded last, they will lose changes specific to this mod like backpack drops and firing quake style weapons rather than doom style.
- Mods that change vanilla Items - Unless Q is loaded last, they will be replaced with the modified vanilla ones instead of the quake ones.
- Mods that add new monsters - The new monsters may drop the weapons instead of backpacks which is not what I intend to happen.

- Added various backpack textures for different types of ammo from AD

- Doubled starting Shell and Nail ammo maximums to vanilla Quake, but large backpack still doubles that

- Explosive box textures tweaked, increased delay before explosion, models show expanding animation before blowing, models show bottom of box left over from explosion, can respawn after 60 seconds now
- Restored player radius to Doom defaults
- Added 2 other player classes, but they are just pretty much skins. They don't feature nearly as much sounds.

Beta 6 Changes
- Messed with the particles a little more, mainly fixing some colors.
- Fixed red key card giving off blue light
- Fixed red skull key being a complete failure at life
- Tweaked lights a bunch more.
- Smoother transitions
- Fixed a few oversized lights
- Increased flicker rate
- Flicker strength no longer as intense

- Key and Powerup lights are closer to their texture colors
- Increased teleport and item fog particle count
- Made the teleport effect that replaces SpawnFire black and give off black light as well as the item fog effect, creating a unique effect.
- Decreased item size by 10%, makes them look barely smaller than vanilla item hitboxes.
- Added better detection for non coop/sp gametypes. However, ZDoom will print an error to console/chat as a function it doesn't know (or even has blanked like the others) which is designed for Zandronum. Usually happens once per item that checks when a map starts.
- Reduced Thunderbolt lightning sprite density
Beta 5 Changes
- Played with the particles a whole bunch. Reduced spawn rates of most of the generators. Added smoke style particles which grow and fade out rather than shrink away.
- Added gl_particles_style and vid_renderer checks for Particles to display either square, round or smooth
- Added stretched particles, only the Axe uses these
- Tweaked a whole bunch of lights. Mostly size reduction and changed their types to flicker.
- Removed rotations from the Thunderbolt's lightning and increased the density.
- Grenades spin one tic slower
- Attempted to rebind weapons because of Hexen, however it just spits errors. Forgot to remove the keyconf file D:
- Halved resolution of hires particle images
- Made Laser Rifle's muzzle flash not interpolate back inside the gun
- Can't remember anything else, but hopefully that's it.
Beta 4 Changes
- Switched the Zombieman and Shotgunguy back around again
- Added the missing item icons
- Replaced key icons with respective type icons
- Made key icons horizontal and placed them in the upper right of the fullscreen HUD
- Reduced the width of all powerup icons by half
- Increased the amount of powerup slots in the fullscreen HUD
- Made runes no longer holdable, they will auto activate
- Added the Scanner effect to the Rune of Reveal, lasts 60 seconds
- Added custom sounds to the runes. I found them in one of the expansion's files.
- Removed Belt and Horn's effects, they are now useless for now. Not that you could get them anyway
- Added an info message on load
- Tweaked a few lights, fixed some that were missing
- Particles now only shrink away, they don't fade. This is mainly a test to see how cool it looks.
- Added a custom weapon based off the Enforcer's Laser Rifle. Only acquirable in Doom and the Doom Player starts with it. Uses cells.
- Reduced length of Laser's trail
- Reduced the amount of particles the Thunderbolt's hit effects release
- Fixed particles making pushable objects fly away
- Explosive boxes can slide against walls now
- Increased the ammo give amount from picked up weapons
- Changed cell ammo to give 6, 12 and 3
- Made first 2 maps swap the backpack for the Nailgun. This really helped Plutonia a lot.
- Fixed flickering of large Shell and Nailbox glows.
- Fixed UV maps of rune models being screwed. Seems exporting to obj and converting to md2 was messing it up. lwo works fine though.
- Fixed large scale of the Shield of Empathy
- Recreated the menu. This includes episode and skill selections. Also adds a properly animated selector icon.
- Made Doom episodes and skills use fonts rather than graphics
- Made the smallfont default to white instead of brown
- Changed the console font on the HUD to smallfont, as well as from brown to yellow
- If you look at sbarinfo, I swear you'll want to never look at it again. And it's not even finished, still gotta stack the Hexen keys.
- Made explosions no longer deal fire damage
- Added Skulltag support (Zandronum only, load with Doom patch)
Beta 3 Changes

- Changed A_CPOSRefire and A_SpidRefire to A_SentinelRefire
- Added Strife support, but gameplay has not been tested, only the actors individually
- Added Hexen keys to the HUD
- Added Quake Expansion items. Some however are unobtainable and they have no powerup icons just yet. (oops) I cannot replicate functionality of the Shield of Empathy though. Horn freezes time rather than summons a minion for now.
- Fixed ACS Stringtable breakage
- Added a bit of randomness to damages
- First 2 maps now replace the Lightning Gun with Mega Health instead of just the first (Mainly prevents pickup on Doom E2M2)
- Readjusted projectile speeds. They're either 40 or 20.
- Removed direct damage from explosive projectiles. They however can still hurt bosses due to +FORCERADIUSDMG
- Made the Homing Rocket use A_SeekerMissile from A_Tracer2. In game, this will only affect the Revenants. If I ever add alt fires, the RL will use it.
- Tweaked how many particles explosions spawn as well as their speed, gravity and made them bounce rather than stick. Explosive boxes are largely reduced in count because of Doom 2 MAP23.
- Shortened nail trails a little
- Made the Raven Pickup Flash use the a modified teleport effect
- Renamed a bunch of sprites
- Changed sprites and models of rune items and they are no longer holdable.
- Added Flight and Speed Rune

- Doom and Heretic keys will adjust their positions on the HUD, but Hexen ones won't. So many damn IfInventory/Else statements in SBARINFO.
- Increased resolution of player sprites
- Made player sprites and models translatable. Their base color is Pink as it's the only color between the games that aren't elsewhere on the model and the only color that uses a single range. Translation + Player.ColorRange ignores Translation.
- Translated the pink dead and scripted doom players to green from that pink
- Fire damage once again makes the player play the slime/lava hurt sound
- Added fire damagetype to explosions
- Added GLDEFS to all modified monsters
- Added dim red lights to the Health Boxes
- Increased the range of some small lights to 24 from 16. These affect items mainly.
- Increased brightness of Laser light
- Added a fully armed player clone to replace the Hexen player bosses. May not be as deadly, but has more health.
- Fixed Mana2 dropping backpacks instead of rocket ammo
- Switched weapon piece 1 and 3's drops. WHY IS THE FIRST PICE OBTAINED PIECE 3?
- All basic hexen armor now drops the Green Armor, Falcon Shield drops Yellow Armor
- Made ArtiPork drop Quad Damage
- Made ArtiDarkServant and ArtiEgg drop the Thunderbolt
- Made ArtiBlastRadius drop Cell Ammo
- Restored Hexen boss health
- Added Skulltag support (Damn you Zandronumers using ST content still)

- Changed Quake logo screen to the Hypnotic one
- Blanked BIGFONT level name graphics as they looked out of place with the quake fonts.
- Fixed vertical offset for SSG flash
- Normalized quit mesages

- ArtiBoostArmor now drops Red Armor
- Fixed Heretic Mace ammo not dropping Cells
- Added Inventory and Inventory Bar to the Statusbar, it sits on the bottom left above the bar.
- Made it so the player doesn't play the burn sounds when getting struck by fire damage (Hexen uses a lot of fire damage)
- Changed the Zombieman, Shotgunguy, Chaingunguy and WolfensteinSS health to 25, 50, 75, 50 respectively
Spoiler: Known Bugs (Open)
- In Zandronum, the Lightning fired from the Thunderbolt is higher than in ZDoom. If I attempt to lower it for Zandronum, it becomes too low in ZDoom. But it should be fixed on the engine side in Zandronum 4.0
