Now with only one batch file for easier cleanup and fewer buggs. I spent more time on extras, like the status bar, levels and other details then on the grenade laucher itself. Although the jumping been effect has been fixed (a bug that made the front of the laucher jump), and a target sight that doesn't distract those code using shot everything and recharge DOOM'ers. The target sight is nice because on bright walls the dark brown stands out while on dark walls the light brown is seen. There are some nice effects in PWAD you may want to check it out. The code I use most with this grenade laucher is IDKFA, and I hope that for all the work I put into this patch you have muchless and remmber to Enjoy!
