ZDoom

Allows a graphic to be rotated when drawn via the Screen API.

Necessary for animating Blood's weapons, as they make use of rotations often.

Someone will have to write a 2D drawer for these first or the feature will be a bit limited.

What Graf means is that currently the 2D drawers in Software mode use the sprite/wall drawers which are incapable of doing these things. You would need an actual rotating drawer to accomplish this - they're not hard to write, but they tend to be a deathly performance killer if you don't do it just right.

Yes, these drawers are important. We're not dropping a feature just because it's too inconvenient for any given contributor to help maintain it.

This should tie in nicely with the ability to rotate psprites too, perhaps, right?

, that topic . Anyway, I would very much like both

@ZippeyKeys12 could we please not bump old topics with "has this been done?" or "has this been revisted yet?" Thank you.

Would it be possible to get this hardware-only until support for rotations in software is added? It'd be like a +ROLLSPRITE situation.

Absolutely not. Besides, writing software drawers is not as bad as you think.

DTA_Rotate flag was added to the Screen API some time ago (thanks to a backend update from Raze) - but more related to the use case in the OP, weapon PSprite overlays are able to rotate and scale for quite a few versions now.
