I don't know if you intend this enemy to be used in OpenGL/truecolor render only, but in software mode certain parts of the sprites are full bright on dark sectors due to how the Strife palette works: [ ![[img](https://i.imgur.com/nweYdj7.png) ](https://i.imgur.com/nweYdj7.png "[img") https://i.imgur.com/nweYdj7.png [ ![[img](https://i.imgur.com/tpTqw8s.png) ](https://i.imgur.com/tpTqw8s.png "[img") https://i.imgur.com/tpTqw8s.png Last edit: 3 years 1 week ago by Gothic.

I can see your screenshots with Edge. Here is the updated version. The default sprites have been converted to Strife's palette and the rogue glowing pixels removed. I also used this as opportunity to make the headlights glow. I have also retained the original sprites in a backup folder for anyone making a GZDoom exclusive mod. - [ ...xLaserTank.zip ](https://www.realm667.com/forum/attachment/1567?download=1 "...xLaserTank.zip") [ ](https://www.realm667.com/forum/attachment/1567?download=1 "...xLaserTank.zip") Last edit: 3 years 1 week ago by CaptainToenail.
