MAPINFO feature requests

Open DeathEgg opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

There are a few features that MAPINFO currently doesn't support that would be very useful for my project. Here I've listed them in order of importance:

1: The ability to send the player to one of the text screens at the end of the map, or to any of the different possible finales.

2: The ability to choose the map that the episode/game starts on. (In conjugation with the last request together these would be very useful for single-map projects)

3: If it isn't supported already, any obtuse/strange/obscure map names. (examples: INTRO, E9M1, E1M99, MAPA1, COOOOOOL, TITLEPIC, just anything eight letters in length)

4: The ability to have certain features turned on/off with a section like GZDoom's GAMEINFO lump, such as an option for no jumping that applied to the whole game to avoid repeating it for every map, certain cvard enabled or disabled, etc.

Thanks for the suggestions!

1 and 2. I'll look into these. 3. This is something I'm kind of working now, since the addition of Romero's E1M4B and E1M8B calls for it. 4. There are NOJUMP, NOBRIGHTMAP and NOLIQUID keywords implemented already.
