[Feature Request] Doom 3 E3 alpha demo support #416

Hi, I am a huge fan of this project, but I was wondering if you guys would consider supporting the original alpha demo. I think the alpha demo is super interesting and fun, despite being only 15 minutes long. Plus, if supported, modding it would be so much easier as well!

on another note, is there a discord for dhewm 3?

the Alpha files themselves are very different from the final game, there is some work of porting needed to be done for these files to work with the engine, either adapting the final game assets to mimic the things happening in the demo, or by porting that old way to do some of the things that ended up in the final game in the way defined by those old assets, If I remember correctly, the AI is very different (much more simplistic FSM states organization) but I think the scripting was all there already because it don't remember them changing from Alpha to Vanilla.
