The Miniship and projector. I know, its a lot to ask for, but it can just be low-quality so its not as hard to make (I hope)

Just thought of something!!! If I take a screenshot of the wrecked Venture Explorer, turn it into a texture, then place it above the hologram projector model and use the alpha material to make it transparent! All I would need then is the projector model! I could also edit the pic so that its blue and looks more like a hologram! I think this would be an easier way to go.

The game will run in FPS mode, so is there any way to make combat?

Technically yes... but it'd be best to use Sauerbraten (Cube, Cube 2) for FPS fighting as it's already implemented.

Ok! would you happen to know how to script that? I'm still doing some basic scripting (multiple-levels, setting music, move speed, gravity, dialouge, ect) and I don't know how to add that.
