Yeah thats pretty annoying because of obvious reasons, maps can vary Quite Widely.

I found out firsthand that replacing the Chainsaw with some other thing like a Railgun was problematic all by itself. I figured it was rare enough it could count as like a bonus weapon, but something was still kinda -off- about it.

Yup learned that lesson, part of the use of the BFG is to get up square in the face of a Baron, laugh, and blow im and his friends to pieces.

If you cant get up in their face then you will have to call more Spray for it to be effective. Also the BFG really must be able to do all the damage it usually does, if not More. You can limit its ammunition (custom ammo only it provides for itself) but its got to be able to do its job.

And monsters, yep.

The only modification ive made to a vanilla monster that held its weight okay was giving the Pinky Demon a Fireball that it spits at you. But it had a weak gravity falloff and it was Speed 8 so it only had about enough range to reach maybe 700 map units and I set the Attack Range to 512 just to make sure. So its not like adding more Imps, and their fireballs made up for slowness with damage.

This allowed the Pinky to assault you from Below in the many pits that you find them in. And were ornery about hitting you in the Feet with their fireballs because you'd think you're far enough away.

This worked perfectly with giving them A_Recoil when they went to Bite you, so they'd lunge. If they fell off a ledge while trying to do that, it didnt negate their combat ability usually since they could still lob fireballs.

> aiming
agreed, characters in doom have such a WIDE ass radius that its hard to miss them, much more comparatively than real life.

I dunno how its accomplished, but about the only weapon type I can think of that this would benefit is some kinda Pistol/Magnum so it can do shit damage but occasionally prove itself useful.
