On the subject of custom wads, I want to recommend BloodStain, Hellbound and Sunlust. These are all on idgames and are fantastic megawads. If you are looking to spice up good ol' Doom II, look up Doom II in Name Only and Maps of Chaos, the latter of which spruces up the original maps in interesting ways.

Sorry for the bump, but the shotgun is by GAA1994.

Most interesting mod! Will this detect switches in secret sectors? Or can that be disabled?

I've never been a competitive person. In fact, the concept of pvp bothers me to a great extent. Yet I played UT2k4 with bots till my eyes bled.

Oh man. DSO is such a transcendent feeling for me. Completely different from Doom but oh so amazing...wordless, even. Good choice.

Indeed it is. My absolute fav track off of all his works. I get lost in it. I could (and have) listened to it on repeat for extended bouts of editing/writing.

Something ambient. Either the PSX or N64 soundtrack or something by Lustmord or anything in that vein. On occasion I'll load up some death metal, since I grew up listening to Morbid Angel and King Diamond (not DM but still) when I would play Doom as a young 'un.

Heretic's weapons never really did it for me. I felt they lacked "oomph" to them. HeXen, however, has the Firestorm, the Frost Shards and the Bloodscourge. Freakin' loved those. Heretic needed something like that.

The first, fifth and last screenshot are positively sublime. To say that I am interested in this would be understatement of the year thus far.

Oh yeah! Awesome. Keep up the good work, kind sir.

I could not agree further on the fire modes thing. Something like this would be more practical if the alternate mode was bound to a key. Doomzone did this to great effect, in my opinion. It also bugs me to see some weapons with an altfire whereas certain other ones don't. Lacks consistency, to me. Regarding Diablo 2, I forgot that was a thing. Thank you for the reminder on a future frustration, lol. Did not know that function existed! Knowledge is indeed power. Thank you for that.

I don't typically love grenade launchers much, but the KDizD Grenade Launcher is one I love for its design. Makes me think of a rocket launcher/ssg hybrid, and it doesn't have much of an arc either, which from trigger pull to impact the wait is minimal. Feels better to use than any other grenade launcher made for DooM, personally. But on topic, I never liked melee weapons much (knives/etc), save for the chainsaw and the fist weapon in LegenDoom (especially with Explosive). Scoped weapons also feel weird.
