PixelRatio is a GZDoom-only MAPINFO flag that lets you scale the entire view to whatever you want. Doom defaults to 1.2, that's why Doom's pixels are taller (I think you already know this)... for "realistic" settings, set it to 1.0 so you'll have perfectly square pixels.

I mention using PixelRatio because, if you make the players and the nazis taller to match the doors (which I imagine would be 128px tall), it would feel like everything is suddenly too tall and lanky. So you use PixelRatio 1.0 (or less) at the end to "squash" everything back to normal.

WOW, this pixelratio thing seems to be some "quincunx" scaling style, remembering me old Quake3 effects... IMOH I'll surely use this! - Am I able to include it inside "defaultmap"?

@Nash - Thanks for the explanation, but what does it actually affect? Textures? Mapsizes? Sprites? I don't get it yet...

It affects everything that's rendered to the 3D viewport. Try it; add PixelRatio = 1.0 to your MAPINFO (or make it as part of DefaultMap so that it will affect all maps). You will see that the entire world appears to be "shorter" (but have correct-looking pixel size of 1x1 instead of 1x1.2)...
