My first assumption would be the problem is on Touhou Doom's end, could be it's doing something it doesn't really need to and that just happens to interfere with one weapon from one weapon mod. Does it happen with any other maps?

Nope. Played with Ozonia and the grenade worked like normal.

I gotta say that I love this mod. I do have some suggestions, however.

1.) I would love to have a toggle to turn off the gravestones, barrel replacements, and tree replacements. Like Gordon Threeman said, the replacements fit the mod just fine, but when played with a certain megawads with it's own distinct themes, the replacements can certainly clash with what a megawad's looks are going for.
2.) I've been using the M14 as really nifty DMR, and I was wondering if it could have a scope mounted. It'd make long range engagements much easier. The zoom shouldn't be too much. 2x - 3x Zoom would be fine enough for Doom gameplay.
3.) Speaking of the M14, I could see the FAL being a straight upgrade from the M14. Specifically, the L1A1 SLR, which were used by the Australians during the Vietnam War. It'd have a 20-round magazine, and maybe a slight damage boost to make it more consistent at killing certain enemies like imps and chaingunners in one shot.

as much as i agree that the m14 needs a scope of some kind it would be a bit redundant of upgrading the m14 to the L1A1 SLR ten all of a sudden losing the scope advantage on enemies i don't think this would be a good idea.

Thanks a lot for the feedback, you all. I'm working on a few adjustments here and there and i'll provide a new set of CVARs for the next update. ;)

Any chance of having quick throwing grenades for the next update?

I still say you should make the Grease Gun a common Chaingun replacement, increase the number of .45 ACP rounds in pickups, and make the Ingram MAC-10(optionally, a suppressed MAC-10) into a new secret weapon.

MAC-10
L1A1
Grenades
M21
I know all these guns were used in 'Nam, but what concerns me is not really adding them, but rather the redundancy and situational use. Sure, the M14 could use a scope and be even more accurate, but what for? Using the Zoom keys set it to "full auto" and Altfire does a melee attack (also something to update; i need to buff melee altfires), so what intuitive key is left?

I think the arsenal is really tight as it is. I don't know, i just would like to fix whatever QoL suggestions are thrown at me.

Well, I will say in defense of hand grenades, they can be used to attack enemies that are behind cover if you don't want to charge in and stick your neck out. Just bounce them off a wall or lob them over an obstacle.

Also I wonder if there's plans to have different kinds of hallucinations from different monster packs such as Kriegesland, ArmyOfOZ or Project Malice?

Well uh, that would be kinda hard to do, as each mod would require an addon.

I would agree with Cosmobyte that the arsenal as it stands is solid, and adding more guns risks redundancy. Grenades are probably the only thing I can think of being worth adding in.

Otherwise, a scope for the M14 would be good to make it more practical for long-range, either as something it comes with or as something you can find for it.

I mean, I have no problems dropping the full auto capability from the M14.

If it gets an upgrade, give it a scope AND a twenty-round box.

Oh, something else I just thought of: any chance of a version that doesn't override the title/intermissions or silence the music when there are no monsters? That's about the only thing I don't like about a lot of mods I've been playing with lately.
