Xtux, to me, is an AWESOME game. The problem with it is that it's dead. Dead games aren't really revivable. So, the solution: start a new Xtux, thats even cooler than the first. So #1 I wonder what the Xtux devs think of this. Maybe they could start an Xtux rewrite (I would help to the best of my ability). Also #2 I wonder if anyone else would be interested in this. The game would be more 3d than the current, with an angled camera view. We could name it GLTux. Old 3d models could be converted and used.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
XTux is "dead" (I prefer "sleeping") because James and I are working on other projects and so don't do XTux work anymore.
I am not really interested in an XTux rewrite, because I want to concentrate on the new game I'm doing - http://kong.sf.net
However, if you want to make your own game (glTux or whatever) using any and all parts of the game to build from, then go for it. The ground tiles would probably work as textures (except for being small), but others won't as they are designed for the angled overhead perspective.

We lost most of the original 3d models in a HD crash years ago, but some are still up here: http://xtux.sourceforge.net/models/
