Hi all,

I'm trying to create a first person shooter like Wolf3D, and I'm using the
source code for Stuart Ashleys Clone as a kind of "guiding hand".

In Wolf3D there are loads of different wall textures, do I have to create a
different TMD for each texture, with just the pointer to the TIM in memory
different?

Will this be tru for sprites also, for example in the Wolf3D game when a
enemy soldier dies there is an animation of him falling, would there have to
be a different TMD for each frame of the animation, or could I just modify
the current model?

There I think that makes sense ;0)

Any help much appreciated

Regards
Bob
