. It was a bit of a hard battle... Zdoom does NOT LIKE the idea of using two weapons...so I built it using some convoluted decorate spaghetti that switches weapons depending on what fire button you pressed and what your last weapon was.... Then there's having to have left and right handed sprites for everything... plus the fact that since I have a cold my brain is like sludge...ARG. Anyway, tomorrow when I'm satisfied the bugs in it are gone I'll upload a new update.I'm not really sure what you mean by weaponising the tome; do you mean like a spellbook? I do like the idea of having a spellbook in the game as well. There was a really cool spriteset somewhere in the forums with just that in mind, with customisable pages and all, and in my mind having only two spells for a mage character is pretty stingy, but that's something for later. There's actually lots of things in Hexen that could be considered spells really, eg the porkelator or the repulsion disks, banishment device, the self teleport thingum etc. Just thinking out loud, but maybe the mage character could be unique in that instead of using them as artifacts, he can study them to learn their secrets, and can subsequently cast them at will, for an appropriate cost in mana. I'm into the idea of anything that makes each class completely different from the others, so I would love to do that.
