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

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

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

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
