We need a launcher that is basically Rocket Launcher, but can scan a directory with all the sub directories for wads both in regular and archived form.

Then perform an analysis based on the content, and assign proper tags.
Has Dehacked file? Decorate? Mark it. Check if Limit removing/boom/ZDoom -based port is required.
Has maps inside? Write down the quantity, and which maps are replaced.
It has DECORATE/ZScript that changes/adds a monster class? Add "Monster mod" tag.
Has code that adds/changes weapons? Add "Weapon mod" tag.
And so on.
Sure it'll take a while for it to gather all the data from hundreds of files, but it only has to do it once.

After that make it download screenshots from wad-archive. Better yet, integrate wad-archive's API so that users can upload/download screenshots to it right from the program. Make it redirect the written screenshots to the wads directory if player wants (after play session check for new files in specified directory according to source port, move all new image files wherever, upload them to WAD-archive)

Add user rating system that can be integrated with /idgames or your own stuff, with score breakdowns.

Integrate Duke, Blood, Shadow Warrior, Quake, Quake 2, Unreal/Tournament support.

Get praised for making best launcher ever.
