no it isn't possible to get rise of the triad to work on zdoom because rise of the triad is a heavily modified wolfenstein-3d engine, the 2 engines might look a bit simular, but they are completely different species. In short: No.

One of the good people at http://www.icculus.org has ported ROTT to Linux, OS X, and Win32. A compiled version for windows can be found at http://www.apogeegames.com/rott.

Hirongen2's got something pretty interesting to offer, I've been waiting for this along an extended period of time but seems like it will take a lil more: http://linux01.org:2222/rottconv.php

The engine sucked, but the sprites, sounds, and behavior were pretty cool.

The engine was a cruel mockery of all things good and pure. Apogee board room meeting:

Marketer: Okay guys, we need to pump out another killer game, and this time I want more copies than even Blake Stone sold! What more can we squeeze out of id's engine?!
Tech #1: Well, as you know we've already added diminishing light, textures on the ceiling and floor, and bad plot lines. I'm not sure there's alot more that engine can really do for us, competitively speaking. Have you seen what id's new engine is doing?
Marketer: That's not good enough! Come on, we've got to be able to do something with it! Staircases? Elevators? Sky textures? ANYTHING?
Tech #2: Well, uhhhh... we could probably coax some kind of sky out of it, but really if you ask me we need to concentrate on making some kind of new engine.
Marketer: How much will that cost us?
Tech #2: I don't know, a couple thousand maybe?
Marketer: You're fired. Tech #1, what can you give me?
Tech #1: Welll uhhh.... How about we change the ceiling height, but keep it flat throughout the whole level... and we could rip off all the ceilings and show a flat picture in the background.
Marketer: Keep going.
Tech #1: Ooh and we could put in crappy multi-angle sprite platforms that would make "elevators" and stuff and even "staircases!" Yeah!!!
Marketer: Now you're talking! Okay, now we just need something to really make it sell. Something that'll make all those kids between the ages of 11 and 14 really go for it.
Tech #1: Well there's the old standby, tons and tons of mindless gore.
Marketer: Do it! And throw in some drugs for good measure! And with zero expense, we'll all get the biggest Christmas bonus ever!
All: YAY!
