Alkaline is a Quake 1 mod and map pack, with its foundation based on Rubicon 2 by metlslime.
Alkaline greatly expands the enemy roster and adds additional weapons and features. A tremendous amount of time was spent scouring through previous mods throughout Quake history and taking key elements, coupled with MANY original features, to create a rich and dynamic Base mod for Quake.
Elements have been aesthetically and functionally modified to ensure uniformity and balance throughout the mod. Additionally, many historical elements have had bugs/errors removed to enhance game play.
Alkaline 1.2 has been further polished & includes maps from the following level designers:
• Bal • Bloodshot • bmFbr • DragonsForLunch • EmeraldTiger • Greenwood • Grome • Heresy
• JPal • Juzley • Makkon • Mazu • Mista Heita • Paul Lawitzki • Scampie • Sze • Trashbang • zigi
Additionally, this has a lot of new, original music from AlekswithaK!

Installation of Alkaline 1.2 is quite simple!
• Unzip the downloaded package and drag the folder marked "alk1.2" into your the main folder where Quake is installed.
• Launch the game.
• Press the escape key to bring up the console (or the tilde key if already in game).
• Type "game alk1.2" (no quotations).
• If done correctly, the Alkaline menu screen will appear. Start the game!
SOURCE PORT RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is recommended to play Alkaline with Quakespasm or one of its offshoots (Ironwail or vkQuake).
However, most source ports that handle increased limits & BSP2 support should work.
The expanded HUD requires Client-Side QuakeC. GL_NEAREST texture filtering is advised.
If playing on the Remaster engine, turning off the enhanced models is recommended.
