Idea Base: I was curious if I could improve the look of flames in various torches without using high-res assets - I wanted to preserve the vanilla aesthetic.

Description:A collection of torches, braziers and firesticks from Doom clones with (IMO) improved animation of the flame, dynamic lights and ambient sound for better atmosphere.

Sprites(some of):

They look great, but there are a few issues:
  • XShortBrazier and XShortBrazier2 don't show in game.
  • XFireBarrel has some missing pixels.
  • Is XFlamingSkull supposed to be that small? I think it shouldn't be scaled down.
  • XPurpleTorch should have a more purple-ish light, it looks more pink now.
  • The XFSM sprites are duplicates of the XSFL sprites.
Also in my opinion, XFlame should be translucent additive.

I've uploaded new version, link should be the same.

- braziers now work properly
- flaming skull is now the right size
- purple torch now has a purple light
- duplicates removed
- flame made translucent
- not sure which pixels are missing on the barrel, but it may be removed - I might rework it completely

Here is the fixed barrel, unless you want to remove it:

I've added the fixed barrel and reuploaded.

I will do another batch of torches and make a new version then. But that'll take some time, I think it's fine for now.
