Gotcha! Also, should I expect the imp's fireballs to have lightsourcing on them? Is this something related to your MOD or just gzdoom ?

Related to the mod. I am trying to generate the GLDefs as part of my next release. I don't believe there was ever one included with the original Weapons of Saturn mod so I'll be generating one from scratch.

Great to hear!! Thank you!

To faslrn:
That key-pickup-autosave is great idea. Could you release it in form of standalone mini mod?
(And sorry, if I am asking too much, but it would be great if you could maybe also add support for Heretic, HeXen and Strife keys.)

Yeah, I can do that. When I get home, I'll cook it up with the additional support.

Just a follow-up, here is the key autosave feature as a standalone mod:

It works with:

• Doom
• Hexen
• Heretic
• Strife

Let me know if you run into any issues.

Fixed. Forgot I made the download a direct link to the file.

I tested it bit with all IWADs, and it seems to work allright. It is even compatible with stable release of Zandronum, so it shouldnt pose problems to anybody. Thanks.

BTW, chainsaw from your Faspons mod (regardless of using original or Doom 64 skin) seem to change brightness of shading when used.

You're welcome

I will look into the brightness issue. I have tons of time at work today to fiddle around. Would you happen to have some screenshots or a small video for me to look at for reference?

(NOTE: I tested this only in software renderer of zdoom, because my GPU is too pathetic for gzdoom.)
It can be very easily reproduced. Just for example launch DOOM2.WAD, right out of the bat on first map, go into hall that connects starting area with lookout with chainsaw.
And there fire chainsaw and observe walls. At default gamma level they are supposed to be pitch black, but after you use it, they will bright up a bit and they will stay that way, up to the moment you will use it again. Funny glitch is that it will cycle between lighting and darkening if you keep using it.
I just noticed rifle does the same thing. Only difference is that, it wont cycle between lighting and darkening and walls just stay brightened up.

Thanks for the info! I can totally replicate it. It actually happens for any weapon because of the GLDefs something. Let me see what I can do.

[EDIT]k,it totally has to do with the puffs har har, to do with lights with the A_Saw and other weapons. See what I can do to resolve this.

Got it resolved! Will go through to make sure any other smoke effects are removed when disabling the option through the menu and upload that version.

New update (mostly bug fixes):

AUG 6 [v1.10]

• Fixed bug with map lighting when firing certain weapons
• Expanded the fancy smoke disable to many other smoke effects in the game
• Added a new Pinky idle animation
