Oh, goodness, I forgot this was even in the queue still. ![:D](https://www.realm667.com/bigsmile.gif ":D") I'll go ahead and convert the audio. It should hopefully be updated by the time you read this. I'll probably also add the vertical offsets too. I'll look into the blast effect sprites. I kind of like them, but they were a low-effort solution. ![:P](https://www.realm667.com/tongue.gif ":P") Do you happen to have any specific ones in mind? EDIT: I updated the sprites with vertical offsets. Looks OK to me; let me know if you feel it's too much or too little. I also compressed the sound; while I was at it, I tinkered with it a bit in Audacity so it doesn't sound exactly like the Quake version. Might need to be boosted a few decibels since it's bassier now. Last edit: 9 years 2 months ago by MagicWazard.

EDIT 4: All sprites converted and compressed.")* I know what I want to do, but have no idea when I'll get to it or how well it'll turn out. I'd say go ahead with this as-is and I'll update it later if things go to plan.

It emits a blast wave on use that pushes away nearby enemies, and repels projectiles. Preview: Download: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vo9win4qxfm38hu/pentacleofprojection.zip?dl=0 This is a pretty basic item that replicates the function of the Disc of Repulsion, but in a Doom environment. The name is a play off of Quake's Pentagram of Protection. I've been wanting one of these for a while--not just because it's useful on its own merits, but also to hopefully counteract some of the community vitriol towards the Vore and its unique homing projectile that a lot of people seem to have trouble dealing with. :P (Can't dodge it? Reflect it!) I'd like feedback on whether the sprite "works" or not in terms of style. (The sprite is a bit larger than it's displayed in-game, since a pentagram/pentacle shape just doesn't read well when it's too small.) Also, on whether the "blast effect" is acceptable, or how to improve it. EDIT: Updated "credits" portion of OP since the submission includes some modified versions of Raven's sprites for the visible blast effect on monsters. Submission contents will be updated accordingly. EDIT 2: Recolored the blast effect sprites, and changed their blending mode. (Old mode is commented out but not deleted.) Updated CREDITS lump to match OP credits info. EDIT 3: Compressed and modified sound. Sprites updated. Not "done" yet. EDIT 4: All sprites converted and compressed.")* Approved, then.
