ZDoom

Maybe have a am_cheat 7 option where it only shows pick up items without stuff like pillars, lanterns, and corpses blocking the view of pick up items.

0-6 seem to be taken already

Would be helpful if they bounced up and down like they do in the 3D view.

In Heretic Pillars and Barrels in the map often cover items that count toward item count. It would be nice to have an option that only shows items that count toward item count.

E3M7 is a good example, there's a room with a ton of pillars, you can't even see yourself let alone any other items. Maybe items that count toward item count should be drawn last on the map.

BTW animated monsters is nice on the map, helps to complete the kill count.
