Imagine this situation: I take Invulnerability, I go downstairs to the next level and there I find Computer Map. Whole map and all powerups are revealed. Without active Invulnerability I would be able to determine the type of powerups by their color, but with black and white Invulnerability vision I don't have this information. I can use "look" command only for the powerups in sight which is hardly enough.

I'd like to have always the same information about revealed powerups (unless it is intended drawback of invulnerable/berserk mode). The most obvious solution is to make possible looking at revealed objects out of line of sight.

Maybe powerups could retain their color when in invulnerability or berserk mode ?

In normal doom, powerups don't retain their original color in IV/BS modes, so I don't see why they should in Doom RL.  Giving people the ability to look at objects CM visible out of LoS...well...maybe.

I'm for ability to look outside your LoS if you "know" what is there. Like in IVAN: if it's insede your LoS, then line appears: "You see there is * lying here", and if it's ourside, appears line: "You remember that * was lying there".

I say we won't colour powerups while invulnerable; instead, we make all items and powerups outside your LoS appear black-and-white, unless you "know" what is there.

It's fine the way it is.  People believing they're immortal don't care what powerups are in a level, and guys foaming at the mouth looking for the next chainsaw kill don't either.

Always remember that the Doomguy is a cautious berserker!
