Honestly i'm kinda nervous posting this but I figure posting it would at least be good for feedback, and who knows, i might get into the repository!


Changes in Chad Edition:
-Added muzzle flash
-Updated SHTRB and SHTRA to look a bit less weird
-New sound effects
-The gun is a bit more fast paced thanks to said sound effects

You should give it different sounds so it feels like a different weapon, and not just a shotgun reskin with reloading. It also needs a muzzleflash and a flash state to produce light while shooting.
We're now using a new format for submissions, you need to make a PK3 with directories, not just a zipped wad. If you don't know how to do it, check the latest submissions.

To get the muzzleflash working properly, you need to make sure the flash sprites align with the gun sprites, like this:

These are sprites I edited so they align with the barrel.

Then make sure the animations of the firing and flashing sequences have the same duration:
