[r1739] Bug: Archvile Blast Velocity

[Karate Chris]

The Z velocity given by the Archvile to its target appears to be much higher than it was before. This line of code is causing the problem:

Code: Select all

target->velz = Scale(thrust, 1000, target->Mass);

Is this an issue that has cropped up recently? I recall ZDoom always having an abnormally high (compared to Vanilla) archvile vertical thrust, though honestly I never noticed it until it was pointed out.

Reason I ask is this may need to be compat-optioned if it changes the way the thrust has always been applied. If it's recent, though, it's an all-out bug.

Define "before". That line of code is identical to the original aside from allowing for variable thrust. With the default value of 1, it is functionally equivalent to what has always been in A_VileAttack.

I have noticed that when fighting the Archvile, it throws me to the ceiling, and it can even throw a Mastermind to the ceiling, now.

Sigh. It was using the blast radius as the thrust factor.
