*jaw drops*

Zdoom y u no do dis.

edit: Does the OGG lumps support the special looping abilities similar to how Zdoom has it?

My friend has a computer with a second screen. Would love to try this out on it.

I like the second-screen automap. My only wish is that there was an option to have it run inside a window instead of being fullscreen.

No, unfortunately I don't believe SDL_mixer, which DR uses, supports the LOOP_* tags.

I'll work on further options like this on future releases.

Are there any ports that support picture-in-picture automap? Similar to the recently released early alpha, or perhaps Zdaemon duel spectator PIP?

Nice to see that Doom is being kept alive. I have been absent from the community for several years now but I will give this a try. I might even get back into editing and rip out the 3D bits from my old Legacy wads to make them compatible.
