What are the limitations and capabilities of the Doom 64 engine?

[Shunar]

I have some plans for a half/total conversion mod I want to make in the style of classic 30 level megawads. Combat puzzles, hundreds of enemies per level, large open spaces for combat and atmosphere, and all of that with costume textures, music and some costume enemies I want to add. Is that something that the doom 64 engine can handle? Is there a good port for this to run on?

I'm new to anything related to map building even though I played plenty of megawads and I know the gameplay aspects well. I just want to know what the right tools are for me to work with in order to create something like this.

Let me break that down!

1) Combat puzzles - yes
2) 100's of enemies - yes
3) Large open spaces - on PC yes
4) Atmosphere - of course
5) Custom textures - yes
6) Custom music - yes (limits to which varies on engine)
7) Custom enemies....
Doom 64 Remaster - you can only replace the graphics and sounds
Doom 64 EX+ engines - there is some DeHacked support I think, but they also have a big variety (especially SEX+) of new enemies, which you can swap in custom graphics
Doom 64 Retribution/CE on GZDoom - well its not really a Doom 64 engine, but you can do anything you want there
