Custom things mapping

A complex mapping list that was very time-consuming to compile, determined mostly from the sprites (so if the .dhe file reassigns thing IDs to different entities/objects with different behavior, there may be mismatches). Also, items are sometimes given a new appearance but are rarely described in the AoD FAQ, so I renamed only one.

Please let me know any improvements/corrections. And here's how you can help with mapping files for other WADs. --Xymph (talk) 17:09, 27 November 2018 (CST)

To fill in this section, I just play the game and open the maps in slade. Note that I play the Doom version of the game without any revenants. I still did not find which monster is the fake Necronomicon. Ducon (talk) 00:51, 28 November 2018 (CST)

I do that too sometimes but it's very time-consuming, so I prefer not to. For these lists I also check stuff in Slade and DeePsea (which can search by thing ID). But again, compiling all the info in .ini/.map files and generating all the map pages is time-consuming, that's why I keep asking for help with the mapping lists. It doesn't have to be in the above format, just a simple table of thing ID and object name suffices.

Re. the fake Necronomicon, I suspect it's a spawned mobj with no thing (ID) in the map. For the items with a significantly different appearance, I changed/added more mapping entries above. For the flask that replaces the partial invisibility sphere, what name would you think suitable? And the glove / soul sphere? --Xymph (talk) 05:45, 28 November 2018 (CST)

Nevermind then. --Xymph (talk) 09:07, 3 December 2018 (CST)
