A new source port addon announced by JadingTsunami was released recently. The source port is a fork of the popular PrBoom and is meant to be patched over an installation of the latest prboom version.
The source port patch includes some new quality of life features such as a console, and a feature of the automap to locate sectors tagged to a linedef trigger, to make it easier to understand in-game map actions, as well as a variety of other things.

Thanks for the news post. For those interested, PrBoom-Plus at this point has been placed in "code freeze" mode with only bug fixes being applied. I released this port since I had been using it for some time and some others had started to ask for similar features. As a fun hidden thing for you, if you want to see the features I use when testing my own maps, enter "jds" in the console. This enables a bunch of features all at once: 1. Full automap with tag finder mode - useful for debugging why various things don't work 2. Regenerative health and "buddha" mode - tells me when I died during playtesting without requiring me to save/restart all the time 3. Quick lifts using "use" key - Instead of waiting 3 seconds, just press "use" to trigger a lift to raise up instantly. Maybe you are more patient than me and do not need this feature.  |

Like in duke nukem? Press use anywhere in the sector and it will work? Correct. When standing inside a lift's sector, when the debug mode is active, you can press "use" to cause its raise action to happen immediately. It works for perpetual and normal type lifts. Note it's only active during my own personal debug mode or with a special console cheat, so it should not "break" normal map gameplay or demo playback. In fact most players probably would not know it exists. |
