The problem with that is that screws up all the Heretic graphics -- and we
hadn't done the text or status bars yet. Also, some Heretic graphics were
used for various effects (the rain was made into fire from the powered up
BFG, which was going to be remapped from #5 powered to #7...therin lies the
problem of ammo count).

Loco,
to see if you're on it, send a message to:

with the following in the message text:

That will return a list of all the mailing lists you're subscribed to.

Loco,
Look for the code pointer list on LummoxJR's DeHackEd grab bag-
that's what I used when I started out and it's invaluable! It's
a little old, but it's still the best. That is, until I get
off my lazy ass and release my code pointer list!

You are very right, it is the Revenant. Figured this out shortly AFTER
posting the note.

Subject: Revised rules for BFG code pointer
Okay, here are the rules for code pointer 119, the best I can figure them:
1. If a monster uses the code pointer directly, it will have the capability
to attack all other monsters (even others of the same type), but not the
player. When used directly, there must be some target (other than the
attacker itself, which is why this doesn't work for player frames unless the
player has already been injured) to attack; everything within the attacker's
line of sight (if facing the target, which is always true for monsters) is
fair game, except the player.
2. If the code pointer is used for a projectile (either in flight or during a
death sequence), it will hurt everything in the attacker's line of sight
(including the player), provided that the attacker is facing the same
direction as that which the projectile is moving in.
3. An attacker using a BFG projectile will not be hurt by the effect.
So, this has nothing to do with motion as I previously thought- direction is
the key. There is more experimenting to do, so I'll get to it.

Actually, these code pointers affect every sector, not just the
player's one.
On another note, I figured that an easy way to create this ammo
depot idea was to use the Pain Elemential's code pointer for the lamp's
pain frame, and copy the ammo clip onto the Lost Soul. I didn't work.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Also, while trying out this I realized that you can now push the lamp
around. This is a pretty cool effect, since you can jam doors open,
block hallways, etc. This will also look pretty dumb since you can push
your the ammo depots wherever you want (that might be good for DM,
though, since you can hide it from the other players.)

To comment on this, Steve, I use Picture Publisher LE with WINTEX under
the .BMP format and haven't had a single problem. Using PPLE, you can
create a "NEW" palette using existing colors from any image you are using.
I add to it once in a while under DOOM textures and thus have all 256
colors using THAT palette.
