It's good, and heavy on the bass (which is gratifying), and the compression is a bit less obvious, but I do like the "peeew" from the old sound. Honestly, either one would work, so I guess I'll leave it up to you to decide what you prefer. Perhaps related to the offset issue, I noticed that if you have an elevated floor between you and the monster, this will cause a mis-calculation in the auto-aim, and you'll sometimes shoot **over** a monster, even if the elevated floor is only about waist-high. (Take the light fixtures in the penultimate room of Doom II Map 01 for example.) I'm thinking if the offset issue is fixed, this may be too. (Sorry, I haven't bashed my head against the ACS yet to find out how.)

Although thinking about it now, I could do a "quick fix" by removing the damage dealt from the rail attack, and only use that purely for the effect, and simply use a normal hitscan attack for the dealing damage... at least then it wont miss the monster altogether... but only problem is that it wont fire through the enemy.... I dont know, Im up for anything at this stage.

I get the hack vibe from it. So I suggest removing it altogether. Yea I figured as much, but I totally agree with you. As much as it works, I dont really understand it very well, and I would rather submit something that I understand than something that could potentially break something and not be able to fix it, if that makes sense. > I might dislike rail-based weapons for the lack of auto-aim, but I'm not going to automatically "no" a submission based on that dislike. Again, I agree with the lack of auto aim being undesirable, as I myself play without mouselook, so this weapon would be pretty much useless to me if it wasnt compatible with "vanilla doom style" gameplay, so with that been said, I will remove this hack on next update and think of something I can get a better grasp on.. Maybe one day in the future when I know exactly whats going on will I play with that hack for another submission, but for now, Ill think of something else.
