Chances are you will need to find the plugin that matches your version of Maya. Many Maya 5 plugins will not work with Maya 6.

As far as building levels for Quake, your best bet would be to use QuArK (Quake Army Knife) to construct the levels. It will provide you with the most options for getting things to work properly.
