Sorry to bother you with yet another update, I really should get into the habit of testing my stuff more thoroughly before submitting :roll:
So yeah I gave the Plasma pipebomb another test run and noticed a serious bug and a few things that annoyed me.

Changelog:
  • bombs on upwards moving lifts no longer bounce forever
  • monsters are now alerted by the explosion
  • the spray sprite is no longer stretched to the monster's size, this looked cool on normal sized monsters but really bad on large ones like the Spidermastermind. Now it's the same size for every monster just like the original BFG spray
  • made the particles from the spray brighter
  • removed a short plop from the explosion sound, it didn't bother me in the original BFG sound but in my pitched up edit it was really annoying especially when I was spamming bombs all over the place

Also made another edit to the Blightlord, but if you have already updated it after my shoutbox message please don't bother with this version, the only change is the method to randomly select the particle sprites (which didn't work at all in the version I initially submitted). https://drive.google.com/file/d/1y3n6ZTQUDO-3Qk5ejrHNUBC95fI9hRC5/view?usp=sharing

It's getting embarrassing, but I have yet another fix for the nitromite. During development I was playing around with collisions to make the nitromite more effective as a weapon against large bosses such as the spidermastermind, but when I removed the testcode for the release I forgot to remove the THRUACTORS flag. Its a simple fix but necessary, otherwise you can't shoot them with projectiles. This was a stupid oversight on my part, really sorry about that :oops:

The Plasma Pipebomb links to the Frost Aura Sphere instead

EDIT: The Nitromite and Blightlord have been updated. Sorry for not testing them accordingly as well.

No worries mate, you've been doing the approval process alone for a quite a while now and I'm really thankful for your efforts. I made me a huge test map with all kinds of different map features (lifts, portals, 3d floors etc) in it to test monsters and weapons with, so I really should have tested my stuff better to begin with.
