Strife features in .64

Will it be possible to implement the full Strife features in .64 in a Doom wad? The idea of conversing with NPCs in Doom could unlock a whole lot of possibilities for wad designers.

Any feature that ZDoom supports for one game, it supports for all games.

Please note, however, that Randy has said his current dialog implementation for Strife is a bit of a hack, and it might not work for anything but Strife until he implements it properly.

Christ Lord, I hope Randy took all this time to actually implement everything properly

Not a hack, but it's limited and not really suited for any game other than Strife, which is why the Strife dialog system won't be available outside Strife.

Let us not forget that you can do dialog as it stands now via scripting, though it'd be nice to have a built-in interface to use.

In answer to your first question, hold on while we get our crystal balls

Hey that reminds me! Hotwax I need my strife wad back, I know i'm the 1337 warez man but I accidently let it go down with the ship (My hard drive in this case).

So we're openly giving out warez now? Don't we have IRC for that?

Unfortunately it's the only means to get Strife since this game is no longer being sold and all companies involved don't exist anymore.

I thought Rogue was still in business.

Indeed, but I can never seem to catch him on it

Ever. Once you can all play Strife with ZDoom, I intend to work on a more flexible and convenient dialogue system that can work with any game.
