Replacing the textures afterwards is no problem.
However that's not the point of the project. I try to bring over the A3 levels to A8 with as much accuracy as possible.
All further improvements like shader party or better textures are then up to the user.
If you want to replace textures, you just need to replace the image files.

I think that was not 3run's point but that the current default textures, A8's standard.wad, are from A3.

Do you translate the old scripts to Lite-C as well?

Nope.

At least not for the first really real release.

I only filter the region/wall/thing/bmap/model/palette information and discard the remaining script parts.

ok, this I misunderstood.
I never use the standard WAD, so I didn't know

i miss adeptus. one should make a full fledged game out of that. too bad the codes dont work anymore
