This page documents the new thing types and special actions available in advanced map formats in dsda-doom. DSDA-Doom supports both Doom-in-Hexen and UDMF maps. See the UDMF documentation for complete details about the dsda namespace.
All Vanilla, Boom, and MBF thing types are supported in advanced map formats. This table defines the new entries.
