If the question is whether zips can be uploaded or not, Well, they can. When they fail to upload, it's probably they exceeded the size limit. If you or anyone else think the current size limit could do with being raised, then I suggest you post about the subject in [ here](http://www.realm667.com/index.php/en/kunena/let-us-know), so Tormentor and the others are aware of it.

Any chance of extending the range of tossed objects to other types of decorations? Also, I think that both variants could do with being shipped with a RandomSpawner, which randomly spawns the regular decoration instead of the Poltergeist (or vice-versa). That way, the player won't have the ability to always predict where the Poltergeist will be each time they play.

Obviously, there's only so many objects in the stock IWAD that would make sense, but extending it to stuff like gore (or hell, maybe even trick ammo) would be logical. Perhaps you can even set up a "template" for modders to fill in, so they can have poltergeisted versions of any custom decorations they happen to be using.

Any update on some other variations? One thing I noticed about the barrel is that I got hurt as soon as I killed it with the shotgun, which seemed a bit strange since with a normal barrel, the player has a moment to run away from it before it actually explodes. At first, I thought I was somehow shooting myself. Would it be because A_Explode is on BEXP A rather than BEXP D, [ like on the ZDoom wiki](https://zdoom.org/wiki/Classes:ExplosiveBarrel)?

For instance, the unlit candle sprite appears "buried" in the floor. I'll give this another month. If the OP hasn't fixed these issues by then, I'll close the submission. Warning: Spoiler!
