- is there anyway i can deactivate the leaf effects as well? It can be quite messy too.

- Rain drops make a big splash when dropped into watery terrain. Looks quite strange. And the Rain sound effect is way too loud.

- I can destroy the Toilet and get the Score, but i can't destroy the Chair. Why not? And i'm certain that there are few Props that you just can't destroy.

- When you hold down Reload key on any weapons but Rocket Launcher, it goes static and stops bobbing.

- Poison Cloud Vial is very useful and comes in large numbers. But there's one thing it makes it rather disadvantaging - the Poison Cloud also damages the player as well. When the place is too small or cluttered with enemies, you basically create one big obstacle can be hazardous to your health. I hope the Cloud doesn't hurt me anymore so i can use it safely. But if you think it's somehow good as it is, maybe make the player immune to poison damage when activating the Rad Suit?

Also is it me? Or Poison Cloud is infinitely tall, so it can hurt me up in the air?

- Can i expect the Zoom mechanic for the Sniper Rifle? Would be very useful to attack the enemies from far distance. And i'm gonna need it!

- I'm not sure, but why Reloadable Weapons comes with Empty Magazine? It makes the player do the chore while there's busy and intense situations going on and i found it awkward. Adding a few ammo into the certainly will make a difference.

- Now... Let's talk about Imps. I really, really loathe them so much. Their fireballs deals serious damage and makes cluster of small fireballs even. You just can't even take cover from them safely anymore. Even on the easiest difficulty, they'll chew you up real good. Granted, this TC has tougher enemies and you have to be careful. Also Weapons and items are very useful as well. But after considering about Imps are the 2nd common enemy in Doom, i just think it's just plain unfair.

- Also Revenants. They're quite annoying as heck. I can't tell which one's homing one because they look and act the same. Also the damage, man. They're tough. Tougher than the Nightmare Variation, ironically.

- Bullet and Current Weapon Magazine Icon is kinda same, but recolored. Making me confused during the busy fight. Can you make them different and distinctive?

- Pinkies can reap. That's surprising. But they easily get stuck on small platforms.

- Missile Launcher fires rather slowly when Homing Mode is on. Also Grenade disappears when lands on watery terrain.

- I can't believe it, but Morph Ovum projectile also turns you into a Chicken. You very own attack disadvantages you real bad.

- Argent Particle Cannon's Charge-up is way too slow. Yeah, this weapon is basically the Bomb of Shmup. It sweeps decent amount of enemies and it doesn't spend too much. But then again, the Charge time is pretty long so you have to brace yourself before using it. Or you'll die in vein. Kinda like Raiden Franchise's Bomb. You just have to dodge before the bomb explodes and they weren't big fan of it.

• The leaf spawners basically inherit their code from their Hexen incarnation. I am kinda wary of tweaking that.
• I tweaked the raindrops to be that way because I want them to be noticeable, as well as the rain audio. I can't for the life of me get the rain spawners to spawn rain at a satisfactory rate without severe FPS drops. The lack of clear and concise documentation on the realm667 rain spawner doesn't help (which I modified with the option to disable it via CVARS)
• I been slowly going at making most props destroyable
• There's nothing I can do about the "reload stopping bobbing" bug
• There's nothing I can do about the radsuit not protecting from poison clouds without it breaking the game, the poison clouds for the most part inherit their behaviors from their Hexen incarnation and suprising the type of damage the poison cloud does is consider splash damage, which means if I try fixing that it would potentially cause the players to be immune to rockets
• No, The Poison Cloud just spawns a bunch of lesser poison clouds
• The Marksman Rifle already has a zoom function. For the love of god, just bind the default zoom key to use it!
• The next update will nerf Imps a little bit
• I don't think I did anything to the Revenants other than polishing their tracers
• I thought they were fine for the most part
• Balance reasons for the first one, the second one I can look into.
• The Morph Ovum inherits it's code from it's Heretic Counterpart, I don't think there's anything I can do about that.
• I'll see what I can do about the Argent Particle Cannon's chargeup but the entire animation is synced to it's charge up sound effect and I would have to make a slightly faster version of the sound effect if I sped the Argent Particle Cannon up, for both the normal state and it's special Turbosphere state

Spoiler: here are some of my reply

[*]There's nothing I can do about the "reload stopping bobbing" bug

Some Custom Actor that instantly goes to ready string and A_JumpIfInventory might do some trick. You can ask for the fix at Scripting Section.

[*]There's nothing I can do about the radsuit not protecting from poison clouds without it breaking the game, the poison clouds for the most part inherit their behaviors from their Hexen incarnation and suprising the type of damage the poison cloud does is consider splash damage, which means if I try fixing that it would potentially cause the players to be immune to rockets

[*]The Morph Ovum inherits it's code from it's Heretic Counterpart, I don't think there's anything I can do about that.

It's a shame, but maybe make your own custom Actors made out of classic Heretic scripts? Thanks for giving it a try, i guess.

[*]No, The Poison Cloud just spawns a bunch of lesser poison clouds

I mean they somehow touches you although you're far above it like it ignores Z Axis Location, or turning on "Actors are Incredibly Tall" at the Compatibility Option. If you know what i mean. Oh, and Poison Vials do disappear on water.

[*]The Marksman Rifle already has a zoom function. For the love of god, just bind the default zoom key to use it!

I swear it didn't work although i pressed the Weapon Zoom Key... But hey. It works. And thanks for making the Scope Sight a lot larger. I was about to inform this to you as well.

[*]I don't think I did anything to the Revenants other than polishing their tracers

And apparently you made them all the same, hard to tell which one's actually the homing one. Now i'd like to talk about tracer's turning speed. It tend to turn very quickly and eventually hits the player quite often. And not sure why its Nightmare Variation has the homing tracer with weaker damage. Therefore, it makes Vanilla one more superior.

[*]I thought they were fine for the most part

And again, it's confusing to look at during the tense battle and it gets more confusing if the amount of ammo is below 50, the same capacity of Assault Rifle's Magazine. Or maybe it's just me. I'm still not used to the TC's own unique design, so just tweak the icon if you're inclined.

[*]I'll see what I can do about the Argent Particle Cannon's chargeup but the entire animation is synced to it's charge up sound effect and I would have to make a slightly faster version of the sound effect if I sped the Argent Particle Cannon up, for both the normal state and it's special Turbosphere state

I'm sure this is gonna be an easy fix if you have sound editing program like Audacity. Good luck!
