I cant' really say for sure.

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 , so Tormentor and the others are aware of it.

This is pretty neat. 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.

Maybe, when I'll have time, I'll try to make more versions

I like your idea of the spawner, I'll do that

More versions would be great! 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.

Ok, trick ammo would be very cool I'll do it

Heh, this is pretty cool. 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 ?

Since there doesn't seem to be any updates, should we just accept it as is?

I still think it would be a good idea to move when the explosion of the barrel occurs (so the barrels more or less match in terms of behavior), but I suppose that is easy enough to edit.

Apart from the barrel thing, I found an issue with the candle spites; their offset is a little off. 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.
