Description

I would like for Doomsday to support the ability to create
new Things in a .ded file and simply add it to a specified
folder and it automatically adds that Thing id into the
game.

This would allow greater customization of Doom as you
could simply add it to a pk3 and instantly create new
Things in Doom without needing to have a long
explanation of how to customize or overwrite
Objects.ded

This has been available in Doomsday for a long time. Using
DED you can even define entirely new monsters (as long as
they use the existing actions).

Do you actually mean being able to create a list of THINGS
in a DED, with coords, that will be spawned on a map
addtionaly to those within the map THING lump?

Yes, I'm sorry I wasn't very clear on that one - that is what I
was trying to say.

  • Tags set to Definitions, MapData, Scripting
  • Subject changed from externally defined Things to Externally spawned mobjs

This is already almost possible with a Map Info definition that executes a bunch of spawnmobj commands. The caveat is that the same command is executed also after loading a savegame.

A more correct approach would be to add a script that only gets run as part of map initialization.
