Mark coloured doors in the automap

[Induna]

It makes life a lot eaiser when playing large complex maps. In jDoom this is alreay done. Just mark the doors with a highlighted blue/red/gold line on the automap.

What a fantastic idea. You think someone would have thought of it already. Oh wait, they have.

Ouch, that hurt me . . . and I had nothing to do with this thread . . . ouch

[Enjay]

Well, how hard could it be to check whether this was in or not before asking about it?

And get this: You can even use custom colors for your custom locked doors!

Wasn't too hard was it.

I use custom colours with a mod that changes the skulls to additional key colours (pink, green, orange).

Ahh, I see. I have my automap on traditional doom color set. I didn't realise it showed up on the beige set.

Sorry

[Graf Zahl]

The beige set is the custom color set. Using 'traditional' colors inherently negates using any custom colors.

You can set the custom color set to the traditional colors thouigh but I recommend something a little less saturated so that the locked doors stay recognizable.

Sounds bizarre

[Enjay]

Well, it stems from a time when I was using only the Doom palette. There aren't all that many colour ranges available. Generic "white" or "black/dark grey" wasn't suitable and the (limited) pink/magenta range was there, but different enough to other colours to allow it to be distinguished easily. It also meant I could keep the keys in kind-of logical groups

yellow card + yellow Skull = yellow card + orange card

blue card + blue Skull = blue card + green card

red card + red Skull = red card + pink card
