Multiple ports support for editors

Is Deepsea the only level editor that supports more than one port like DOSDOOM, BOOM, DOOM LEGACY, and ZDOOM? Are there any other editors that has multiple port support?

Any map editor that aloows you to add new sector, line, and thing #'s can be mostly compatible with other source ports.

ZDOOM is unique, in that it can do polyobjects. You need an editor that supports HeXen to do that.

WadAuthor supports multiple ports through the use of a config file. You can grab it from CDROM. I also have numerous tutorials using said editor and one (and counting :) on using DeepSea. Look on my ZDoom Tech page.

BOOM's flexible types cannot realistically be mapped via a reconfigured type file - too many combinations - so one is left with a subset. So although other editors can accept new "types", there are just too many to cover them all. A workaround for some editor is to revert to the raw hex mode for setting flags and types - of course you get no editor feedback on what those "bits" now mean. Some people have a pretty good memory and can make it work:)

There are two editors that were modified to support the new ports.

DeePsea supports the new flags and options directly without having to resort to "hex" codes to get at all of them. There are an unlimited number of "port" configurations that can be created - each with special types if so desired.

DETH was also specifically modified to work with BOOM. ZETH was derived from that to access ZDOOM specific features.
