Idea Base: Vore from Quake 1

Description:
The famous Vore from Quake 1, which made occasional appearances in Episode 2 and 3 and was all through Episode 4. It's pretty much a dedicated turret; it's slow and not incredibly strong up close, but its attack does a decent amount of damage and its projectile homes very aggressively. Additionally, it will home in on you AROUND CORNERS.

I know, it can damage itself with its own projectile explosion; that was its behavior in Quake 1 and I wanted to keep that in. I prevented them from infighting with one another by adding +NoTarget (NO monsters will target it for infighting), but that's a temporary solution until some kind of +DontInfightSpecies flag gets in. I'll update it when that is available.

Also, Quake symbol in the preview image because this is part of my pseudo series of authentic(tm) Quake monsters. I should double-check the Rotweiler and put the symbol on that one's preview image.

If you want you can edit the Rotweiler so it's more accurate to Quake.

Awesome

It's even "hellish" then Doom's demons!

Awesome!
I forgot to give feedback for the latest version, but yeah it's fine as it is... nicely coded

Btw, I don't think I deserve credit for the sprite touch-up, as it has been just a matter of seconds and it might be misleading otherwise... credit me for the projectile and that's it!

I hope you die in a fire for bringing this to existence...

In all seriousness, nice work!

Are you planning on doing most of quakes monsters, outside some exceptions (Shub Niggurath and Chton come to mind as impossible)?

This depends on NMN I guess

K, removed that and uploaded a new version with that.
And that's how I know I've done a good job.
Nmn and other people. I don't think he'd want to do all of them, but I'd love to try to bring all of the quality Quake monsters (emphasizing "quality" because a lot of the monsters in the expansions really sucked) to the Doom engine.

Dunno, I don't dislike any of them.

Quake monsters:

• Death Knight
• Enforcer
• Fiend
• Grunt
• Knight
• Ogre
• Rotfish
• Rottweiler
• Scrag
• Shambler
• Spawn
• Vore
• Zombie

Scourge of Armagon new monsters:

• Centroid
• Gremlin
• Spike Mine
• Armagon

Dissolution of Eternity new monsters:

• Electric Eel
• Phantom Swordsman
• Multi-Grenade Ogre (ogre reskin)
• Hell Spawn (spawn reskin)
• Wrath
• Guardian
• Statues (dormant knight/death knight reskins)
• Guardians
• Mummy (zombie reskin)
• Hephaestus (mini-Chthon)
• The Overlord
• Dragon

The centroid is cool-looking robot enemy, the gremlins are nasty bastards, spike mines are just little traps, and Armagon is basically Quake's Cyberdemon. The other expansion has some reskins with altered behavior, which aren't all that impressive but aren't exactly terrible either. The electric eel looks better than the rotfish, phantom swordsman is a classic monster type which I've already seen implemented in ZDoom a few times, the wrath and overlord look cool and would fit well in Heretic or Hexen...

Yeah, pretty much all of Quake's monsters can find a place in Doom or Hexen. They are often a little grimdark and brown though, so injecting some colour helps.

I tried spriting the Wrath, here's an idle frame. The red is supposed to be brown, but I left it because it looks ok. Don't expect anymore of this monster from me though!
