WE ARE IN THE BEAM! Since I am knee-deep in things, and was forever since I updated anything, I might as well pull out something smaller for now. Changelog in spoiler as usual. I'll update the OP with the new stuff in a moment.

---

V1.4a
-Added two, new blueprints - HEAVY MACHINEGUN! (Christ, that was a disaster tour of an implementation) And colt burstshot.
-Added recoil controls. Bet you smug bastards really wanted that. And it turned the code into even bigger of a natural disaster. Yay me.
-Added mugshot grinning to some powerups.
-Added Machete upgrade. Also added some cruft to its sounds to make it more meaty. Stab stab stab.
-Fixed any truncation point errors that popped out; ambiguous pointers however!... eeeeh, not quite. I don't think I can fix those until I'd convert the offenders into zscript.
-Fixed that respawning in multi would eat your health expansion away.
-Fixed some blueprint oversights.
-Nicotine rushes give you a bonus junk now. Cause why not.
-Improved a bit the effects on the jetpack, and added directional jet thrust upon using the item.
-Added a short grace period before you can sights in/out in FMG/Sidekick, as I caught myself sometimes unzooming immediately after zooming in, which was annoying.
-Nibbed from Argent the Quad Damage pickup sound for a spice-up mix like a filthy nibbler I am. Plus moved it to soundslot 0 so you can (hopefully) always enjoy its goodness.
-To compensate for the fact that you can't find cigarettes in the wilds of Heretic/Hexen, made the monsters drop cigarettes/syringes there. It doesn't make a single dime of sense, but hey, fantasy monsters can be nicotine/drug addicts, too!
-Tweaked the uranium shot upgrade price to 50 from 60 junk points.
-Fixed minigun sound issues. I hope. (The quad damage sounds were colliding with gibberish\rock'n'roll, so I had to sadly make it override it.)
-Fixed machetes not getting returned by the end of the level.
-Fixed Kinetic Fist making you get two fleshrends/uzis and crashing the game if you didn't have a one beforehand.
-Fixed a typo in alchemist's dream description.
-Since it seems that arbitrary GLDEF size limit has been increased - the flares pack way more lumen power now.
-Made Blastsphere also play Quad Damage sound when activated, because of reasons.
-Changed the "Ironsight Return" to "Don't return sights" to avoid confusion.
-Fixed junkspawns in Hexen; I did some experiment which didn't end well, and forgot to revert that there.
-Fixed fullscreen hud being a bit borked in Hexen.
-Fixed both patriarch/bitchmaker spawn option not leaving the weapons around in multi.
-Added button for keys list in menu as I am mister oversight. (Also fixed it a little while I was at it.)
-Decided to hijack a small bunch of iwad-specific graphics and slam it into the mod to get rid of some error messages.
-Tweaked the Hexen items spawns a good bit to make them more random and rewarding.
-Did a lil' tweak in this regard for Heretic too.
-Fixed probably whatever else bugs got reported and forgot to put onto that list. If not, slap me in the face and tell me OHHH NO YOU DIDN'T!... Just remember to specifically point out what still doesn't work, m'kay?

I'm so freaking happy... TRAILFUCKINGBLAZER IS BACK!!!

[internal screaming]

I thought I forgot about it. But I couldn't; the Doom filter has that thing, so I guess I somehow reverted that addition as per usual. Plus I forgot to put it in a 7z alongside the text file. I'm genius. Quickfixed.

I also found these issues:

• Boots of Speed, Disc of Repulsion, and Porkalator from Hexen were not replaced
• Punch-reloading the Chrome Justice with the striploader upgrade does not work properly. Here's the change I made to fix that problem.
• The Macheterang's upgrade meter and ammo count does not appear in Hexen

[Lime]

The Update Is AWESOME!!!! at least some bugs have fixed and tweaking.
- The Upgrades are good. the Most Favorite is the HEAVY MACHINEGUN! Brings me back the Metal Slug nostalgia just from the look of the mod.

[DoomKrakken]

Holy cow... the update itself may seem like a bunch of small changes here and there, but I must say that I'm thoroughly enjoying what came of it.

The FMG and Colts don't feel so useless anymore. With the Heavy Machine Gun, I can now "spray and pray", ripping through my enemies with a steady barrage of bullets! The same with the Colts' triple burst shot upgrade... I can decimate much larger foes much faster now! Not to mention, the ammo's free!

I think my favorite part of this whole thing was the Machete's Upgrade... those phantom strikes are so fun to spam with... not to mention, it requires no ammo. An upgrade worthy of the Macheterang!

I have a few suggestions to help improve gameplay...

- It'd be nice if we could get a couple indicators (like the ones for scrap/the hazmat suit/jetpack fuel/etc.) in the status bar to let us know how many health/armor bonus syringes we picked up over the course of a campaign.

- It'd also be nice if we had a similar counter that displays the current number of Blastspheres in our inventory, without having to scroll through our inventory to see how many we have left.

I had something else, but I can't remember at the moment...

Regardless, awesome work as always!

-Haha... I love me some revert button right next to save. Will fix.
-Huh, I thought I did handle this, but I forgot it works both ways - punch-to-reload, and reload-to-punch. Will fix.
-The SBARINFO at the moment is a huge mess, so I think I'll rework a portion responsible for that stuff anyway.

I thought about it, but the HUD gets crowded as it is. I'll think about it.

[Ryuhi]

If you were interested in displaying upgrades/spherecounts/etc without adding clutter to the hud, maybe you could make a push to prompt key for info like that? I know the newer versions of samsara have something similar for displaying server settings but i don't know if its a pain to implement.

basically you bind it to a key and then it has a small list of info pop up on screen for a few seconds before disappearing. maybe you could position it to be near the relative areas (health upgrades slightly above health, armor near armor etc etc?)

[DoomKrakken]

Sounds like something that could be useful for more than just that...

[Wivicer]

Found an issue. when the macheterang is selected, you only have one and you throw it, if autoswitch is turned off, the game still thinks you have it equipped. if it's upgraded, it won't let you upgrade any other weapons until you switch back to and away from it.

[PillowBlaster]

The weapon gets removed before the token, hence the issue. Fixded.

Bug Report: Chrome justice never get ammo cap increased with back pack

[DoomKrakken]

Isn't the Chrome Justice supposed to get its ammo increase via its upgrade, and not the backpack?

[twelvenipon]
