Welcome weary traveler!  Within these dusty pages you may find a detailed technical explanation of what I have discovered and kept on my many travels in the land of Quake.

What started as an effort to add a few items from both mission packs into one single player level eventually grew over time to be a massive compilation of features from across the Quake community.
This mod for the first [Quake (1996)](https://quake.fandom.com/wiki/Quake) is primarily a full combination of the following mods’ enemies, weapons, items, traps, and other features in addition to
my own features:
* Standard Quake (ID1)........[[link](https://quake.fandom.com/wiki/Quake)]
* Mission Pack 1 (Hipnotic)...[[link](https://quake.fandom.com/wiki/Quake_Mission_Pack_1:_Scourge_of_Armagon)]
* Mission Pack 2 (Rogue)......[[link](https://quake.fandom.com/wiki/Quake_Mission_Pack_2:_Dissolution_of_Eternity)]
* Arcane Dimensions (AD) [[link](http://www.simonoc.com/pages/design/sp/ad.htm)] [[mirror](https://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/ad_v1_80p1final.html)]
* Drake (SOE, etc.) [[link](https://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/something_wicked.html)]
* Quoth [[quoth 1](https://www.quaddicted.com/webarchive/kell.quaddicted.com/) [[quoth 2.2](https://tomeofpreach.wordpress.com/quoth/)]

Arcane Dimensions serves as the primary base for all added content due to its excellent formatting, enhanced enemy infighting code, and excellent structure.

Any conflicts have been resolved in such a manner as to retain the unique features of the primary mods above, for instance by using spawnflags, such that any mod's conflicting variant is avaialable.
The entity definition file (.fgd) contains all the necessary fields and spawnflags for accessing these conflict resolving features as well as any Keep specific features that have been added.

All features of this mod are documented here in their various sections.  A complete entity list can be found in the appendix.  In every section the entities are listed alphabetically by entity name.

For what is and isn't implemented, refer to the [Checklist](https://github.com/JosiahJack/Keep/blob/master/KeepFeatureChecklist.xlsx)

# Motivation

The purpose of this mod is to provide a toolset for creating any kind of Quake
map you desire with anything you may have encountered in some of the best known
mods.  This mod is a mod for mappers, intended for mappers to make excellent
maps for players to play.  Also, in the spirit of the earliest days of Quake,
this mod is not striving for overall quality, nor quantity, but is intending to
provide fun.  Some content is intentionally as-is, in terms of quality, to
preserve the old-school 90's feel; other content is much more polished.  The
quality of content you use is up to you, the mapper.

> The mapper is always right.  The player is at the mercy of the mapper.
