Ok, that's easily taken care of. It just should not call Super::BeginPlay. It's a different native class for a reason, after all...

I still don't understand how these "new features" offer any advantage/ease over what ZDoom already has allowed for a very long time.

They don't. They are only there for compatibility reasons. If you ask me, Eternity's skybox implementation is utterly flawed and inconvenient to use.

Couldn't find a better way to work with the Doom map format. No TID, remember? Only one arg per special (the tag).

But for skyboxes? ZDoom's method placing one default skybox for the entire map is certainly much better than having to tag each single sector...

Compatibility? What for? For Eternity maps? Why would anyone want to play an Eternity map in a ZDoom engine? I thought the entire system is so different from each other.

Re: Eternity-like portals?
You can play rf-kerk and OPF in GZDoom. There is only one glitch with OPF because Eternity's linedef type 289 effect ("transfer portal to linedef") isn't supported; so instead of seeing the line horizons from the stacked sectors meld into a single one, you see big walls.Nash wrote:Compatibility?

For De Kerker, you also need a little patch wad containing DECORATE stuff, among others.
