Should I put my different Quake source ports in different folders? I know that means I'd need to copy the game files again, but whenever I switch from Quakespasm to DarkPlaces, my configuration settings get reset. I'm thinking I'll have a folder for the latest version of Quakespasm, one for the lastest DarkPlaces, and one for Quake 1.5 since it runs on a specific version of DP

If you want just a gore mod that runs with other things theres Nashgore and Bolognese Gore mod. If you download Bolognese, beware, there is a bug where if an arch-vile resurrects a gibbed enemy the enemy comes back invisible. Use this version that fixes that bug

Play D4V in Crispy Doom with OPL-emulation music (Crispy Doom got updated recently to support widescreen rendering :D).

You can also download VirtualMIDISynth + the 8bit NES soundfont to get 8bit MIDI music in your Crispy Doom D4V experience. This will change your default MIDI player to VMS though, so you will need to download their MIDIMapper to allow you to toggle between Windows' default MIDI and VMS. If you go this route also download the Airfont380 soundfont, its the best one I've found so far

Or you can play D4V in GZDoom to enjoy the brightmaps and other fancy mods. You also do not need to download any programs to change your GZDoom MIDI soundfonts. You can just download the 8bit NES soundfont and Airfont380 soundfont and put them both in your GZDoom soundfonts folder and toggle between them in the advanced sound options

I found something that sounds even better than the OPL emulator, for when I want to go full retro-mode with D4V. Download 8bitSF (The NES Soundfont) for use in VirtualMIDISynth, and in the VMS options, disable MIDI effects (sustain, reverb), and change from stereo rendering to mono :D
