At the request of and with help from @MattFright I started a small mod to make simple visual additions to DOOM, using some MBF21 features to help add some flavor to the game. It has some features taken from projects we're collaborating on for DOOM UNIVERSE, and as such I'm posting it here first.

This mod will technically run on anything that supports MBF21 but Woof and DSDA-DOOM are where it looks best!

Features!:

• Better plasma rifle sound.
• Color palette for nicer tones.
• Smoke particles for inflight rockets and small plasma particles for the plasma rifle and BFG projectiles.
• Better sprites for the armor bonuses.
• Animated keys.
• Most importantly, temporary but abundant blood on the floor when shooting enemies, enjoy the carnage! (colored blood added for dsda-doom)

Download:
This wad is designed for complevel 21, playing on lower complevels is possible but most effects won't work, it is also recommended to load the wad before other wads you may want to play with it! But if you encounter any issues, try loading it at the end.
flavor.rar

Download includes flavor.wad and flavorbig.wad, flavorbig.wad includes 2 different type of blood splats while flavor.wad has only 1, the other 2 files are dsdhacked specific versions, which don't serve much purpose right now but may have better compatibility with future things...

Try em out! Hope you have fun.

This is for a small mod focused on ports like woof and dsda-doom, just small visual enhancements for the vanilla game to feel a little better. Unfortunately I can't have better video quality.

This is very good blood texture usage, these assets aren't usually this well utilized.

@segfault I'm really excited for Antiquity, from what you've shown it seems really fun and also I love your idea of a showcase of the features in DOOM Retro, looks like that helps a lot in making it feel unique.

Your replacement sounds like it could be a Rise of the Triad weapon.
I personally don't really enjoy using the BFG much because it can easily become very inconsistent, but I wouldn't replace it, the mechanics it creates are way too interesting to get rid of it even if it gets a little painful.

I remember playing some Zandronum servers that ran maps generated with Obsidian and ObAddon, they actually got pretty fun! It's worth it to play around with it for at least a little.
