You aren't giving us anything to go on. What kind of crashes, is GZDoom dying or is it a VM abort? Are you using other mods and in what order?

How do these things even work? I might take a look at it later but the game's easy enough to follow without those, and you're just as likely to sequence break by accident with this mod.

in the original strife,if you pressed the O key you could see the objective in the screen,but guncaster broke this feature.

Heh, I meant how the objectives are modified, because I don't actually know how that part of the game works. Strife's a pain in the ass for mods to handle, there's a reason most don't even bother.

And, well, VK Doom is the same as those. I've tried redownloading, I've tried using a dfiferent pwad, this is the only mod I am loading so it's not conflicting with something else. I am attempting to run it through DoomRunner 1.9.2/

This mod is getting better and better with each new version. The 4.1 (the version downloaded from m8f's link) feels like i'm almost a god playing it.

I have only a small complaint - a dragon is supposed to be fireproof right? So why is the player still hurt by fire? Sometimes even his own fire. It's a small detail of course and we could argue not all dragons are fireproof so don't worry too much about it.

Personally i'd add immunity to fire and lava but extreme vulnerability to ice, frost and cold. I'd even add self-damage when the player uses ice-based spells. On counter balance i'd made the ice-based spells more powerful than they are now so the player will have to really think when to use them and judges the "risk-reward" because of the cost for his hit points versus the damages it does to the enemies.

Also, maybe toning down the green barrel cloud after they exploded - it lasts a bit too long for my taste. There is also some gore problems - floating blood particles suspended above the floor and mid-air even when the no-gore and toaster features are on. Could be a problem with GZDoom thought.

Lastly, could you make a merge with an alien/xeno mod(KombatKommando's xeno mod would be perfect)? This could made this mod really, really challenging! Anyways i'm glad this mod is still being developed after all these years. Keep up the good work man!
