Brighter hand shine and blood of Hell Nobles for Vanilla-oriented ports and Doom Retro

Inspired by and taking Doom 2 minor sprite fixing project and SMOOTHED (Smooth monsters for Doom Retro and Crispy Doom) as a base, I decided to make my own fix for what annoyed me most in Hell Nobles' animations: the dull color of blood and hand shine. I made 4 variations: with red and green blood, regular (to be loaded with WADs not changing the Knights and/or Barons in DeHackEd) and DeHackEd-using edited version of SMOOTHED project.

SMOOTHED project with my fixes for Hell Nobles (also includes the tweak for Heavy Weapons dude to fire with the same rate and sound as the player does).

SMOOTHED_S.wad is with green blood, SMOOTHED_SR.wad is with red blood.

EDIT: now WolfSS also sound correctly, with bullet fire sound, as their MP40s' caliber is the same and barrel length is not very different from the pistol's.

LOL Food Doom confused me so much.. but it makes sense now. This is a cool little tweak, the vibrant blood does look a lot better.

The hands of Hell Nobles shine green, the same color as their projectiles do.

Good job, I will test it tomorrow to see how it looks in action!

But this is also compatible with Doom Retro, isn't it? Not only Food Doom!

Yes, you're right :)

I read title start as "Brighter hand shrine and blood of hell nobles". Oh well. 

It's a really good idea with demons. I should test if it works in eternity engine.

I actually expected this thread to be some Markov-chain generated bot spam.
