Beautiful Doom v5.3 addon

Hi, people. Here's Beautiful Doom 5.3.

"Beautiful Doom" is a mod that enhances Doom, makes it detailed, adds a lot of effects, complex interaction and at the same time introduces virtually no gameplay changes.

Yeah, I know. 5.3 has very few additions compared to 5.0, but they are nice and seem rather essential to me. It now consists of 4 modules 'weapons', 'monsters' and 'objects' (stuff) plus separate 'lights' module with dynamic lights for all the objects in all of the three main wads.

Modules are inside separate wads.

It's GZDoom-only. ZDoom-support is not intended and if it's there, that's purely accidental.

I was often uploading new mini-versions of 5.2. Now it's completed and it's 5.3.
+++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++

It's not that much different from 5.0. Gibs look noticeably different and much more emphasized.

Also some of the incorrect weapon firespeed is fixed. Also made some things look a bit better and added a couple of effects

Of course I fixed the annoying green blood bug.

5.3 compared to 5.2.9 has only three changes: non-shootable objects like trees now have original behavior (bullets fly through, projectiles don't), plasmaballs have better looks and trails, a new titlepic.

Instructions:
Move files to a Skins folder in your zdoom directory. Just start the game like you normally do.

FAQ:

"I love the visual modifications this makes, but I already have a sound replacement set that I prefer. Since you've done this in a modular fashion, is it possible to get a version in which the sounds have not been replaced?"

Well, I highly doubt that I'm going to create a version without sounds, since sounds are naturally part of the mod, and I naturally don't want to take parts out. Besides, in order to reset all sounds back to original I'd have to go through all of the actors again and manually set them back, which is actually quite bothersome.

My simplest suggestion would be not to use all of the modules in the mod: e.g. if you don't use BDoom_monsters.wad, but use you sound replacement wad (gzdoom -file bdoom_weapons.wad bdoom_objects.wad soundreplacement.wad), all of the monster sounds will revert to original (but of course you'll lose the monster effects).

1) Only BDoom_weapons.wad: your weapons have new sounds and special effects, monsters' weapons also have new sounds, but monsters do not show any special effects;
2) Only BDoom_monsters.wad: your weapons and monsters' weapons use standard sounds, monsters show special deaths, but do not spawn empty weapon casings;
3) BDoom_weapons.wad AND BDoom_monsters.wad: your AND monsters' weapons use new sounds and show special effects, monsters spawn empty weapon casings when shooting.

IMPROVED: WEAPONS:
* smaller PLASMABALLS and better Plasmaball's trail
