I've written about it on the mod's moddb page, and looking at the comments there, I'm apparently not the only one unhappy about this. The reasons are different, some people don't like 3d models and want the game to look more vanilla, others' computers can't display the new models (the dreaded black boxes! ), and others still don't like the models themselves and would rather they were a bit different. Regardless of the reasons, it looks like the dev is too busy with Alien Armageddon to make the requested change to DukePlus, so I figured I'd do what the community always does in such cases, and make a fan-patch if you will, by replacing the 3d models with sprites. Problem is, I don't know how to do it, so I came here, hoping that someone would give me some tutorials or guidance.
I could also hit Discord, but I forgot my password and am too lazy to renew it.
Spoiler
So, any help?
