Custom things mapping

The DeHackEd file allowed to compile the following custom things mapping file for DMMPST (TSV format):

# class	thing	wikiname	wikilink
0	72	Trooper NoAmmo	Zombieman
0	84	Chaingun sargeant	Heavy weapon dude
2	2002	Minigun	Chaingun
6	6	Green keycard	
6	39	Green skull key	

Please let me know any improvements/corrections. And here's how you can help with mapping files for other WADs. --Xymph (talk) 13:40, 18 December 2020 (CST)

I don't really agree with canonizing dehacked names to the point of preserving spelling mistakes. It's some internal name; we're not calling the cacodemons "heads" or the arachnotrons "babies" after all... And sometimes, as for example in Aliens TC, that would result in the various alien things keeping their Doom names since they haven't been changed. --Gez (talk) 13:52, 18 December 2020 (CST)

Fair point if there are no DEH comments, but when the author didn't name/describe monsters in the WAD's .txt file or forum post, then existing comments seem the next best thing to me. So I used them verbatim. If the spelling fix should be applied, then maybe the other one should be changed too? For trooper isn't wiki-canonical either, and "NoAmmo" looks a bit ugly. Maybe "Zombieman w/o clip"? --Xymph (talk) 15:02, 18 December 2020 (CST)
