I'm looking for an engine to use for my 6DoF game, and having a little trouble finding one suitable. It needs the following:
-option to disable texture antialiasing
-vertex shading option
-no gravitational force by default
and it needs to be pretty lightweight. Anyone know of one that meets these conditions?

well... the first and third point on your list is achievable by simply checking a box in 90% of general purpose engines.
vertex shaders dont come prebuild (as a preset template) with engines and have to be manually added. so there is that.
if youre no fan of unity and unreal which can both do exactly what you want (but probably dismissed), give godot a go. it can do all this stuff, and its lightweight.

Godot looks like what I need, thanks!

Unity has its kinks but can be made to do everything you describe iirc, especially if you look into 3rd party assets.

And it's recently been made Linux native! You should like that, since you use Arch and all.

Unity is proprietary, so not an option.

Godot is being developed at a breakneck pace. It looks like the best OSS option to me, and seems to have a very enthusiastic user base.

Why can't it be proprietary?

Proprietary software is contrary to my principles.
I don't might playing a game like System Shock 2 because the industry culture was much different in the 90s.

Honestly, I'm not sure why I haven't considered using the DXX-Rebirth source port as an engine yet, but this is almost definitely what I'll do.
