ZDoom

An internet to Solarsnowfall, then. We still can't use this trap because everyone will have "always run" on.

There is an (undocumented) flag in .96x and GZDoom called +NOEXTREMEDEATH that could be applied to all the project's weapons, ensuring that the XDeath state is never called in normal combat.

That's because it isn't in the 2.0.99 code. Randy either forgot it or ignored it. Then do you mind documenting them somewhere? I hate digging through the source looking for some flag or other that I'm concerned may not exist anymore. I know it's unfair to force you to do work because of my faulty ...

I can't wait until we can put decals on monsters

Nah. It's not "downright inpossibe" at all. You just need some creative flair with the new decorate features.

The first one dosen't suprise me. Those projectiles were meant to be fired by the player. Take note that no monster in Hexen uses them. The second is a little weirder. There were no hitscans in Hexen (the Sapphire wand dosen't count), so I imagine the interactions would be wierd, but not that weird.

@KoFFlameWarInProgress: KoF seems to be the most annoying when he is responding to flames. Don't flame him, and the problem is (somewhat) gone. It's a shame I lost that Dragon of Satan I made for him in my last virusing.

No.

Alas, you can't really seem to alter the behaviour of many hard-coded hexen projectiles, no matter how much decorate you use. For example, try getting rid of the fire damage property of the Bloodscourage projectiles

The +EXTREME_DEATH flag does as you need, at least on the first point. No offense to Graf, but a couple vital flags were removed in the wiki update, including +FRIGHTENED.

They should be used as the basis for more advanced monster A.I, but otherwise they are useless. stx's nailing them with massively unbalanced decorate weapons does not justify their presence in a new version download.

Be careful! You can only use A_SetBlend on a weapon or inventory item, so you'll have to do some fudging to get this to work. Have the projectile spawn another invisible projectile that targets the player using A_Look, then use GZDoom's new A_GiveToTarget codepointer to give the player an inventory ...

Great work, Eriance.

Eriance, instead of submitting monsters to a resource, why not set them up to replace existing Doom monsters and release it a seperate file? That way, they can be used in combination with most weapon mods and on any map.

This effect can be faked, using some puff trickiness. Add +NOBLOOD to all of your monsters, then have all your hitscans spawn your new blood in the puff's "Spawn" state. Put the normal impact animation in the "Crash" state so it dosen't spawn blood on the walls. Add +PUFFONACTORS to the puff, to ...
