Boom compatibility and portability

XCOPYXCOPY
edited 2014 Jan 22 in Technical Support
Two questions, one topic:

Is it possible to make Doomsday work properly in an USB stick (and changing folders as the user sees fit, without giving troubles)?

Is XG scripts a reliable way to open doors for Boom compatibility in Doomsday (so all one would need to activate Boom compatibility, is just loading it as a WAD file or something)? We would need a Boom specific reference for all sorts of lines it uses, though.

EDIT: I will dig through Doom Builder files to list Boom's exclusive lines, sectors and things types. The source is Boom.cfg.

Boom's thing types 
		5001 = "Pusher";
		5002 = "Puller";

Boom things' flags 
	32 = "Not Deathmatch";
	64 = "Not Cooperative";

Boom's Linedef flag 
	512 = "PassThru";


The major issue I found, is that Boom's generalized linedef types uses a Quake-styled dmflags scheme, for every category/flag you change, it adds a certain value to the category's number. Here is the raw data, hopefully it is clear enough.

The same rule applies for generalized sector types, except that there are no categories here, value may go up to 1009 (correct me if I am wrong):
