Useful for lighting up the darkest dungeons, obviously.
The default Artifact Torch in Hexen and Heretic just makes the whole map bright so, nowadays, with all these cool graphic enhancements of Gzdoom I felt the need to change it to dynamic light mode.
You can set the key in controls menu to select the torch, I wanted to make it toggable with last weapon used but I may research for it later.

Notes:
The TorchWeapon is meant to be used when exploring the dark, it has a bit weak fire mode with unlimited ammo just in case but for fighting, as in vanilla, the ideal way is to use the Artifact and keep slashing using weapons!
Nice to use with DarkdoomZ mod
it should be universal, working on Hexen, Heretic and in case Doom.
About Wrath of Cronos mod, with which I planned to use it, the artifact torch effect seems not working , it still makes the whole map bright even if replacing its "NewArtiTorch" actor of WOC, there should be some ACS script operating I dunno, anyway
hope this will be appreciated!
