: Eh, I don't have access to the demos anymore, so it probably wouldn't come

I think the 2.0 demo is on the Marathon CD. Not sure about A1, but laz or Hamish might have a copy.

Your other reasons are pretty understandable, though.

Also the physics might be different for monsters, and possibly
: the shapes, so I wouldn't really be up for dealing with all that again. I
: could maybe look into generating the map layouts, since I think Hopper's
: xml had the demo levels in there, if someone wanted to take them and do
: something with it. The effort to understand the collections and stuff to
: place scenery and texture the maps would not really be worth it to me for
: small demos.

: If someone wanted to make custom maps for PiD, I'd probably recommend they
: take the physics and shapes and take or leave parts of the lua that they
: want. Probably would have to rework some lua to make more sense for a
: traditional marathon style map. I'd probably cut the amount of possible
: scenery objects down to what marathon shapes allow, and only have a small
: subset of the items available on the ground (as many items as you want can
: be lootable from bodies). That way you wouldn't have to deal with a lot of
: the insanity I did. Overall, a project like this would require someone
: that understands lua pretty well.

: Obviously mods like HD monsters or textures would be a lot more
: straightforward though.
