Especially the Heretic/Hexen Boss Shooters, as I don't have a test map for them. I just converted them to ZScript, cleaned up the code a little, replaced deprecated functions (that generated warnings) with newer functions, and updated them to newer methods of doing things. The old Decorate is included in a lump called OLDCODE. I also client-sided particle effects that weren't already, converted sounds to OGG and sprites to PNG. Everything *should* work exactly as it did before, except for these bug fixes. - Agathodemon: Melee sound now properly plays. - Avatar: Secondary projectiles from the splitting attack now properly track the original owner, so obituaries now work. - Cacolich: The one variant now properly plays a sound when it uses its gas stream attack. - Darkness Rift: Decided to rebalance it, since it's my monster. Increased its mass and drastically lowered its health. I'm not converting everything, just the things I think are the highest-quality, the most usable, or my own work. If there's something specific you want me to update, let me know and I'll add it to the list. Last edit: 7 years 8 months ago by Blue Shadow.

Fixed it and put it up on the first post. Checked the Disciple, as well, and I did it correctly there, but noticed I used a goto to jump to the same state rather than loop, so changed that and reuploaded that as well. I believe actors are immune to the projectile set as their MissileType, and the Agathodemon doesn't have +DontHarmClass. I checked the wiki and it doesn't say so, though. I'll dig around and if I'm mistaken I'll fix it (and the others that I left that property on).

Code: // Old code: Spawn: HMIS A 4 Bright A_SeekerMissile (25,35) HMIS A 4 Bright HMIS A 2 Bright A_SeekerMissile (10,25) HMIS A 2 Bright goto Spawn+2 // New code: Spawn: HMIS A 4 Bright NoDelay A_SeekerMissile (25,35); HMIS A 4 Bright; Fly: HMIS A 2 Bright A_SeekerMissile (10,25); HMIS A 2 Bright; Loop; **ApprenticeOfDsparil**- In line 61 of the new code, the duration of the state should be 6 tics, not 0. - The WAD lacks an S\_END marker, which produces a warning on start-up. **ArchonOfHell**- MeleeSound is still present even though it's not of use anymore. - Line 105: Code: BOS4 X 6 Bright A_SpawnProjectile("ArchonSoul",86,0,0,2,-90); The last parameter passed to the function (pitch) is 90 in the old code, not -90. - Line 107: Code: BOS4 [ 6 Bright A_Fall(); A\_Fall is not needed here, since it has already been called in line 103 (I know this is not something you introduced in the update, but still, I thought I'd point it out). **Avatar**- Missile1 state: some of the projectiles are spawned with negative pitch, while in they weren't in the old code. - Missile3 state: in the old code the monster shoots projectiles 30 times, while in the new code it shoots 40 times.

Regarding the negated pitch on the Archon and Avatar, that's because I swapped from A_CustomMissile to A_SpawnProjectile. A_CustomMissile's pitch parameter is negated from how it's handled in the rest of the engine, so they deprecated that and did A_SpawnProjectile instead. I was reminded of this when I had just finished ZScripting the Archon of Hell and it threw that green soul thing straight at the ground.
