Why would you do that? It's a TOS mod.

I'm still in touch with the old team lead, who wrote the script for the original. I've thought about maybe going that route, but haven't taken the time to reach out.

Not really... More inspired by the Argas Effect mod for Elite Force. I was frankly always disappointed in most of the so-called 'Star Trek' maps for Doom. Engine limitations kept them from really 'working' for me.

AFA, if you ever need any surface textures later on (grass, sand, brick, marble, etc), I can easily whip some stuff up for you. I'm pretty good at making that stuff from scratch, or at least taking pictures from real life and transforming them into seamless textures. Just shoot me a PM.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the offer - I'll let you know.

Probably not... If any Easter egg-type music gets included, I'm thinking some Elton John. Or maybe the Beatles...

I hated the Trek mods in the '90s. They were always half-assed. They weren't cohesive, just a bunch of random maps. Of course, I never liked the abstract implementation that original Doom maps almost required. It makes me mourn the loss of the chairs and other artifacts that Doom lost before it was released. I understand that the gameplay has to take precedence, but they could have at least TRIED to make things look a little more natural and realistic.

But Star Trek really needs scripting with a story to tell. It's more like Half-Life than Doom.

i remember playing an old Star Trek mod. it had like, one cool level in it, but the others were garbage. the first level had a Cyberdemon in it, for some reason, and it was frustratingly hard to play. on top of that, all the music in the mod were the Terminator theme and Mission Impossible on like 11 goddamn levels. i don't even know what the fuck to say about that.

this, however, like i said earlier, looks really good. i'd gladly show it to my boyfriend when it's getting to be more finished, as he's a big Trekkie. (myself, i've never really watched any of the shows or read any of the books, which might seem strange considering how much of a nerd i am otherwise)

Should be able to download the .zip and drag it onto the GZDoom executable. This isn't gonna be compatible with ZDoom really at all.

So um - how did you make the player character a 3D model?

You make a new 3D model, make a reference in MODELDEF and in the player definition use the sprite placeholders from the model.

The frames of your model should be referenced in the player definition. You have to animate the model and then reference each frame in the model definition, which is then reflected in the player definition. The model frames replace the 2D sprites and the game engine interpolates them so they look like smooth animations.

I see! I'll have to try it at some point.

How's the TC progressing, by the way?
