WARM is one I have not tried yet... I will do so today, and hope I don't
have to move every around to see if it overlaps! What a pain! :)

In order to have a frame be a shooting frame, it must be coded as one,
so, as I understand it, we will have to find out the secret of the code
pointers (whether the point to another pointer or what), so we can make
additional frames shoot. For example, one code pointer obviously causes
the "splat" sound when an enemy is hit by a missile or whatever and
explodes. Of course, as everyone knows, when changed with DeHackEd, it
will either lock up the game or not work at all.

Has this been done, because I've never seen it: an editor
which has five specific "thing modes," one for difficulty levels
1 & 2, one for level 3, one for level 4 & 5, one for multiplayer,
and one to view everything. These settings would surely make it
easier to implement difficulty levels. You wouldn't have to worry
about setting bits all the time.
You could do this in two ways: place things in one mode,
then go to another and start with a clean slate. Or, you could
place things, go to another mode, and copy things from one mode
to the next, thus creating an "additive difficulty" effect.
Inanimate objects like lamps, etc, could be added in
mode 5, so that they would appear in all difficulty levels.
How easily could this be integrated into the next DEU?
Would Raphael et al. be willing to attempt it?
