ZDoom

These are definitely much better.

I don't think the BBCodes were ever implemented for tables on this site.

I decided to revisit this stuff, and attempted to make it more "janky".

(click the sprite sets for zips)

On a tangent, can I write tables in my posts?

Further improvements/replacements of the sprite are welcome, from my eyes.

Glad to see this in either way! Didn't dawn on me that the shard sprites were split off into zd_extra, but yeah, plenty of mods rely on their existence.

They look nice, but kind of remind me of a soap bar. Especially the first frame.

Agreed. I'll put that in.

I'd pick Xaser's... (and remove the Hexen versions entirely from the extra PK3.)

Yeah, I'm not super-fond of those either. Hope you don't mind, but I made a quick edit (4x scale):

I wanted to give 'em that cliche shiny-stripe thing, but it looked too noisy at low res. The edges still may need more janking up, but it's a start.

Wad for science:

I hate to be a stick-in-the-mud but I've seen you do higher quality work than this before.

These shards look very flat - I would consider opening them in Photoshop and adding some shading to the bottom of them. Also, the more janky they look the better - these look kind of too smooth.

I only give these suggestions in the hopes that it won't take more than 10 minutes or so to make the appropriate improvements - they don't have to be "perfect" but something a little bit more consistent with what we had before would be nice. :)

OK. [url=http://www.ciinet.org/kevin/myimages2/doom/misc/icec3.png]Here's a new preview[/url], [url=http://www.ciinet.org/kevin/myimages2/doom/misc/icectest3.wad]and a WAD with the sprites[/url].

I had to look in the source code for the ice palette, though. Could the ice translation be externalized to a [url=https://zdoom.org/wiki/TRNSLATE]TRNSLATE[/url] lump inside gzdoom.pk3?

EDIT: [url]https://github.com/coelckers/gzdoom/pull/380[/url]

Two things:

1. No translucent pixels, please. This will make it stand out like a sore thumb.
2. Use the same purple shade, because that's actually the color the frozen corpses will be in.

Since the old ice chunk sprites were deleted because of copyright issues, and because some mods use the ice chunks, I made two new sets of ice chunk sprites in Blender.
