V2.3

==GENERAL==

+Fixed a weird bug where playing on Zandronum would make your air control worse, this was due to a custom air control ACS script interfering with how Zandy does air control. This DOES mean air control is different between GZDoom and Zandronum, but that's how it'd be in "vanilla" between the two engines.


=Altered how certain weapons are undroppable, using +INVENTORY.UNTOSSABLE, this doesn't really effect you as the player but it cleans things up on my end for code and stuff.
=tweaked a few decals so they look better in Zandronum

==ARTIFICER==

+Made the projectile of the secret attack pass through players
+Sharpshooter rivets properly pass through players now
+Fixed a typo in the Scavenger laser pulse for the Vulture SMG, this was causing an error in jump states
+Fixed a severe oversight that let the hitscan attack of the Cyclops Cannon hurt teammates

=Renamed the class name to Artificer proper for Zandronum online
=Fixed an infinite loop warning for the rebounding rivets from the sharpshooter when playing on Zandronum online
=Hopefully fixed an issue of the Blackjack and Cobalt Mace not reacting when hitting monsters and walls when playing on Zandronum online
=Slightly changed the name of the projectile for the secret attack
=Slighty adjusted the timings on the hitsparks for the Whiplash so it doesn't play the hit and miss animations at the same time in Zandronum online

-Made the Zoom in/Out animation of the Cyclops cannon one tic longer, hopefully this helps with the weird flickering when using the zoom on Zandronum online.

==BLASTMASTER Mk.2==

+Fixed an oversight where the Ranger grenades wouldn't pass through players
+Made hot Defiance casings pass through players
+The flames that fly out from the secret attack's bomb no longer hurt players, fixing a team damage issue, the explosion can still hurt the player who launched the bomb though

=Fixed an oversight where some weapons could be fired while overheated during the equip animation
=Fixed an infinite loop warning with the Defiance Machine Gun's Casings


==TECH MONK==

+Kame Bombs now have +MOVEWITHSECTOR when they're armed, so they should follow elevators
+Shortened the lock up time if you run out of ammo while shooting the Moon Beam
+Shortened the lock up time if you run out of ammo while shooting the Pearl Laser

=Fixed a small glitch with Kame bombs touching the sky when exploding, if this happened it'd fall to the ground unscathed and un-exploded.

==PAST LINKED==

=Fixed a bug where you could light Mini Artis on fire with the Leech Fire magic
=Fixed a bug where it'd print fire boomerang and peril beam pickup messages before you hit those tiers of upgrades when playing Zandronum online

==CRATE WEAPONS==

=Fixed an infinite loop warning with the big casing ejected from the .100% tactical pistol

-Pocket Revenants now equip slightly slower, this is done as a compromise for Zandronum online to prevent other Revenant types to be a normal Revenant for a few frames as it raises up. This sucks.

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------

V2.2

==GENERAL==
+Fixed the vanilla berserk heal CVAR not working properly on the other classes besides the default, whoops
+Fixed Crate weapons not being taken away when pistol start CVAR is enabeled

=Added more lore stuff for the weapons inside the files

==ARTIFICER==
=Fixed a sprite name conflict with Rampancy's robot shrapnel and Artificer's Cyclops Cannon

==BLASTMASTER Mk 2==
=Fixed a small issue with Blastmaster's Fission Sweeper not alerting monsters

==TECH MONK==
+Fixed Tech Monk weapons not being taken away while the pistol start CVAR is enabled
+Moon beam combos now have a much bigger window, making it easier to chain attacks
+Striker Beam now charges faster
+Striker Beam lasts longer, about an extra 6 seconds or so
+Emergency attacks from the Striker Beam when out of energy now drain more meter, meaning you can return to the fight even faster if you're aggressive

=Swapped out the firing sound for the Pearl Laser, hopefully making it feel punchier

-Augmented Hand Beam shots are now weaker

==PAST LINKED==
+Fixed a really busted glitch where putting candles flames on a somaria block and then detonating it with the wave magic causes an near endless loop of magic flying everywhere. Cool, but too strong, sorry guys
+Arti dupes are now more aggressive, with a higher fire rate

-Arti dupe sword beams are a little weaker now


//===========================================================

==MALEFACTORS==

=Updated the Miscreant sprites to use separate spinny cube sprites, so if you play a WAD that replaces those cubes, there shouldn't be any problems



V2.0

==GENERAL==
+Arti now has a HUD face! Get a rough idea of how he's doing with just a glance at his mug!
+Arti now has unique player sounds! (Still has the classic HEH HEEENNNHHH for his taunt)
+Updated glow frames for the skull keys (thanks Skelegant)

+There's now a visible meter timer for the rad boots

=Changed up the fullscreen HUD to be similar to the standard HUD, just with forcescaled

==CRATE WEAPONS==
!CRATE WEAPONS NO LONGER HAVE INFINITE RELOADS. In fact, they don't even reload anymore! They now use a new resource: Crate Energy packs, which can be found near any cell based pickups. Infinite reloads and crate curse sucked anyway.

+Plakanomicon buffed, primary fire is now always a wall cast, secondary now opens a portal to the brick dimension
+Particle Smasher buffed, primary fire is now similar to a vanilla BFG, secondary fire is now a beam that detonates immediately, good for sniping Cyberdemons
+Pocket Revenants buffed, primary fire now always throws them, secondary deploys a rally flag to summon any active Skellies to the point, added more variants in the box (they all behave the same)
+Icarus Launcher buffed, primary fire shoots faster, rockets now home in and bounce off walls, secondary's rocket spread gun now bounces off walls too, improved firing sounds
+.100% Tactical Pistol buffed, primary's fuller auto is now hitscan, secondary is now hitscan
+Crates no longer give you duplicate weapons (I can't promise the next weapon you get after that won't be a weapon you just had though)

=Crates no longer can be shot open, you now open them by walking into them like any other weapon

-Daibatana removed



==ARTIFICER==
!OVERHAULED THE ENTIRE SET. Nearly everything has either been polished, improved or just flat out replaced

-Lilik's Axe is now slower
-Lilik's Axe deals 4x less damage when not powered up
-Lilk's Axe no longer has +FORCEPAIN (What the hell was I thinking with that?)
-Sharpshooter caltrops produce less shrapnel when detonated with the altfire


==BLASTMASTER Mk 2==
!MOST WEAPONS GOT A NEW PAINT JOB. Everything now has more vibrant colors, helps make each weapon look more distinct!
!ICE BEAM OVERHAULED. It's now a constant beam of freezing energy, drains fast, recharges fast
!VENT ATTACKS OVERHAULED. Old awkward system of one shot -> scatter shot -> exploding shot refined into flamethrower -> machine gun -> exploding shot

+Improved heat gauge feedback, meter now easier to read, includes pips and audio feedback to tell you how hot you're running

=Heat gauge now cools off passively differently. After a five second delay heat starts to decay, growing faster over time

+Added the Tech Monk set

==PAST LINKED==
+Added the Past Linked set

=Fiddled with a few offsets of the former humans so they look a little better when attacking
=Cacodemon charge shot replaced with a string of smaller projectiles that weave like Bishop shots

...has this underlying layer of mystery cruft that makes me feel as if it'll take me a whole new season trying to work out the depths of the weapon mechanics so that I can fully enjoy the system and, until then, will constantly make me feel as if I'm being inefficient with what I'm doing.

• 1. Smash crates until you get the brick.
  2. Kill everything. With the brick.
  3. If that don't work, use more brick.

but I still feel like I'm using up my ammo faster than I need it used or, in some circumstances, can't use it fast enough without getting myself killed due to the way some weapons work, like some altfires being too slow to kill a group or some guns, like the Gnasher, having variable performance based on how long you use them.

Ammo type usage is pretty much all over the place and the fact that most weapons just as easily kill you as your foes in the middle of all this weirdness makes me wanna pass.
