While not official, people seem to like ECWolf or its mod-frendlier fork LZWolf. Can't help you with finding base files to pull from. Source: about 1 year ago

Is there anything that proprietary software can do and has no open alternative?
GZDoom for Doom and many other games running on the same engine. Source: over 1 year ago
John Romero has released a new Doom 2 level for a €5 donation. 100% of the proceeds go Ukraine relief efforts.
For modern source port check GZDoom https://zdoom.org/index or Chocolate Doom (for higher framerates and stuff) - https://www.chocolate-doom.org/wiki/index.php/Chocolate_Doom. Source: over 2 years ago
How to I get the ID Build engine?
Also, if you want to make a shooter like those, you don't really want the original Build engine. What you want is a modern open source implementation of those engines. For Duke-like games you can try https://www.eduke32.com/ (Ion Fury was made on this) , for Doom try https://zdoom.org/index or https://dengine.net/. Source: over 2 years ago
O3DE: Open 3D Foundation announces first major release of Open 3D Engine
I don't know, but if you want a retro game you might as well use a retro-engine. Ion Fury (2019) used the EDuke32 engine and there are also modern versions of the original Doom engine, like GZDoom - with modern games like Brutal Doom or SIGIL (2019). Source: over 2 years ago
Why is this so complicated?
Because zDoom and GTA anniversary releases are a thing. Source: almost 3 years ago
