Does Eternity support giving flats to floor-ceiling portal boundaries, so I could make horizontal midgrates or windows? The former would imply an interesting case of let projectiles cross, but not other actors, like those impassable 2-sided midwalls.

That has been on the slate for quite some time now, and I even added code for translucent flat drawers like a year ago. I am not sure what precisely is holding it up to be honest :)

Seconded.

What kind was implemented? Translucent flats? Is there support (in the branch) for flats with transparent windows for this?

Quasar said:
Not as of yet because there is no way to indicate a transparent area in a flat.

But you can apply a texture to a floor or ceiling now, can't you?

You can...? I should configure Doom Builder to allow it (both 1 and 2, depending where I work).

As far as masked textures on portal flats go, internally, there's the question of efficiently handling texture masking for span drawers without needing to rewrite the graphics loader to sacrifice a palette color for transparency like ZDoom's does. I suggested generating a 1-bit mask to accompany the texture, but SoM tells me it'd likely be slow. :\
