A wild 2.5.1 update appears! news - QC: Doom Edition mod for Doom II

There's a new Tastycups coming!?!

Yes, there is, in September 14th. If you don't know what that is, here's a video I made for last time.

And because of that, it was important to us to release an update before it, fixing some small bugs that could be detrimental for the competitive experience AND the spectating experience, like not being able to see which Tarot cards Painkiller picked, or when VorMatur blinded the player you are watching.

There are some balance issues and QoL items addressed too, along with a new optional addon for competitive play "PvP Visibility". It further decreases the opacity of explosions (RL and TB) and completely removes the blood that would appear when you're shooting someone (or you're being shot at), which could make you blind when taking a lot of constant damage.

Some other misc bugs were fixed, like Single Player / Coop hourglasses making it impossible to get 100% items in a map.

V2.5.1 (Sept 05 2019)

Highlights
- New optional addon: PvP visiblity. Removes blood actors and further decreases opacity of
rocket explosion, trails and tribolt explosions (addon included in main download)

Balance
- Galen can no longer shoot after throwing totem for 0.8 sec
- Galen cooldown from 25 to 35 sec in PvP (from 40 to 35 in PvE)
- Kane can resume firing after injection sooner (from 1.5 to ~0.8sec)
- Grayson takes slighly longer to charge up thumper (1/7th of a second longer)
- Sam's minigun primary fire spin-up was pratically removed, making the weapon more responsive
- Inquisitor's ability mirrors that of QC: Duration 5 sec. Absorbs 50% damage (was 85%),
no damage penalty for itself (was 50%), change color palette of his ability to match
that of the actual shield
- Inquisitor lost invulnerability to Duke's FreezeThrower and Grayson's Thumper. He can still however
bounce said shots back with the 2nd phase shield

Quality of Life
- All weapons, health and armor height increased, to prevent jumping-over them
- Daniel's Tarot selection is now visible when spectating that player
- Vormatur's active ability is now visible when spectating a victim of "blindness"
- Decreased scale at which monsters would get additional health from the player count in the server
- Moved up "Last survivor" message in TLMS and FT to avoid it getting too much in the view
- Ability meters are now less opaque towards the center of the screen, for visibility
- Decreased size of LG beam particles when seen from the outside
- Added support for the addon mentioned above, to disable blood when shooting enemies, gibbing
them however, still bloody as always
