Scale/Rotate automap background

[Nash]

Playing Heretic and Hexen with their automap background texture got me to thinking, would be cool if the texture would also respect the automap rotation and zoom scale. Optional of course, to maintain old compatibility.

With the new scale + rotation backend from Raze, can this be considered?

The rotation feature is really just for non-tiling patches, not for a large background, that requires a totally different approach to coordinate calculation.

Ah, okay, so weapon sprites would work better, I suppose. Good to know.

That's what it was basically made for. Some of the Build games rotate a few of their HUD elements.
