Nice! Now all we need is Randy surfacing from wherever he is and actually add all this stuff to ZDoom. Anyway, I'll add this to my own update because there's one other change I'd like to do to the railgun code and keeping these together might make sense.

How do you define colours?

Not good. That should be changed to RGB and then looked up when being displayed. Palette indices are far too unintuitive. I'll change that for my update tomorrow.

But now I have to finish the intermission stuff first. I am almost ready to post it.

Excellent. But with an RGB lookup, how would a null-color be handled (in case I only want the beam and not the spiral, as in kgsws' lower-left screenshot?

You can't do that if you want to pass real colors! Remember, the average mapper doesn't want to care that 120(?) is a nice green. He wants to specify either '0, 255, 0' or 0x00ff00, but not look into the palette and count the colors until a suitable one is found.

And how does this help us? Most people have no clue whatsoever how to interpret a palette. Plus, Heretic's, Hexen's and Strife's palettes are completely different so one had to do it again for those games.
