In a message dated 95-09-30 02:10:47 EDT, you write: 

>Have you played Aliens-TC in deathmatch? The smartgun is tracer. 
>(But it's a bit slow to be laser-like) 

The smartgun in Aliens-TC is really the plasma gun.  All the author did was 
change the shot graphics. 

Concerning tracers for guns like the chaingun,  I wouldn't think think it's 
possible.  The DOOM engine doesn't calculate the travel of the bullets (i.e. 
no matter how far you are from a wall, the bullets will hit it 
instantaneously.)  It just tests for an intersection with a wall.  Use IDDT 
on the map twice to notice the difference.  Shooting plasma or rockets, you 
see the green triangle traveling.  Shooting bullets or pellets just makes the 
triangles appear on the wall that they hit.
