But is there are reason why this monster inherits from the BloodFiend in the first place? It should work totally fine without it, unless I'm missing something? Took a quick look at the decorate, didn't see anything that requires any inheritance. The PhantomFiend has all the default properties, states, sprites, etc. Nothing seems to be missing (except brightmaps, see below). For a quick test I replaced the "BloodFiend" inheritance with "Demon", still works fine, and should probably work without any inheritance at all. here's the brightmaps error that is thrown on startup: Code: Brightmap 'BMFINDJ1' not found in texture 'FINDJ1' Brightmap 'BMFINDJ2' not found in texture 'FINDJ2' Brightmap 'BMFINDJ3' not found in texture 'FINDJ3' Brightmap 'BMFINDJ4' not found in texture 'FINDJ4' Brightmap 'BMFINDJ5' not found in texture 'FINDJ5' Brightmap 'BMFINDJ6' not found in texture 'FINDJ6' Brightmap 'BMFINDJ7' not found in texture 'FINDJ7' Brightmap 'BMFINDJ8' not found in texture 'FINDJ8' Last edit: 1 year 11 months ago by DeVloek.

You should just combine them in a single actor: Code: ACTOR PhantomFiendMissileTrail { Alpha 0.50 Renderstyle ADD Translation "Ice" +NOINTERACTION +FORCEXYBILLBOARD States { Spawn: TNT1 A 3 SPIR QRSTU 3 Bright A_FadeOut(0.1) Stop } } The Fiend trails could also be reduced to a single actor if you use the transfer translation and sprite frame properties with A_SpawnItemEX: Code: A_SpawnItemEX("PhantomFiendTrail",0,0,0,0,0,0,0,SXF_TRANSFERSPRITEFRAME|SXF_TRANSFERTRANSLATION) and only use this actor: Code: ACTOR PhantomFiendTrail { RENDERSTYLE ADD Alpha 0.50 +NOINTERACTION States { Spawn: "####" "#" 10 "####" "#########" 3 Bright A_FadeOut(0.05) Stop } } And while it's using the same sprites from the Blood Fiend, you renamed them to BLFN instead of using SAR2. You should use the same sprites from the one in the Beastiary, that way if the modder uses both, they'll know which sprites to remove, and you can reuse the brightmaps from the Blood Fiend with no problems.
