Title: Looking at stuff revealed with Computer Map when Invulnerable or Berserking
Post by: chalup on January 28, 2008, 08:57: 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.

Always remember that the Doomguy is a cautious berserker!
