How legacy specific is it? if it has boom and 3D floors you could go for EDGE, If it just has boom you could go for...anything really, and if it has Boom, 3D floors and Fragglescript..doesnt eternity have all those?

Use ZDoom. Anything Legacy can do, ZDoom can do alot better (excluding Legacy's cool 3D floors), and ZDoom has many more editing features than any other port will ever have. For example, slopes, things with a possible Z Height, the "Transfer Lights" system, the new texture system... I'm just getting started.

I'm sure there's a way to fix this 'slimetrails' problem in Legacy though (I have no idea what a slimetrail is, but meh).

// Slime trails are inherent to Doom's coordinate system -- i.e. there is
// nothing that a node builder can do to prevent slime trails ALL of the time,
// because it's a product of the integer coordinate system, and just because
// two lines pass through exact integer coordinates, doesn't necessarily mean
// that they will intersect at integer coordinates. Thus we must allow for
// fractional coordinates if we are to be able to split segs with node lines,
// as a node builder must do when creating a BSP tree.

//
// A wad file does not allow fractional coordinates, so node builders are out
// of luck except that they can try to limit the number of splits (they might
// also be able to detect the degree of roundoff error and try to avoid splits
// with a high degree of roundoff error). But we can use fractional coordinates
// here, inside the engine. It's like the difference between square inches and
// square miles, in terms of granularity.

There is a nodebuilder that is specific for that very problem, particularly for Doom Legacy's openGL mode. I don't remember what it is called, but I read about it in the newdoom forums. I know someone that I recommended it to after playing his map he was working on and showing him where his walls were missing in openGL mode, and he must have found it and used it because later he sent me the map and I couldn't find any missing textures.
