Auto updating map and item count

Post by Annorax »

I'm playing the newest version with Doom 1 and there's two things I noticed that would be nice to have:

- An auto updating map that overlays on you. Instead of blacking out the screen and showing a map, it could be semi-transparent and autoupdate when you walk around. I didn't see an option for this.

- The map shows the number of kills and number of secrets, but how about the number of items?

I looked the forums and didn't see these requests, nor did I see them in the game.

am_overlay 1

Admittedly not perfect but it's a start.

am_showitems 1


Both have been there for quite some time now.

Thanks, those are just what I wanted.

A minor thing: is it possible to display time, monster number, etc... on the overlay map?

Unfortunately not.
