Angry face glitch?

[Havoc Crow]

I've found a glitch which I haven't seen mentioned anywhere before.

Basically, it makes the player's status bar mugshot take on an angry face for no reason. There are two ways I found to replicate it:

1. Start a new level (either by starting a new game, or IDCLEV)
2. Quickly bring up the menu, or pause the game, before the pistol rises all the way up
3. After about a second the player's face will turn angry and will stay that way until you unfreeze the game

The second way:

1. Start a new level
2. Begin quickly pressing the 1 and 2 keys to alternate between the fist and the pistol, not letting either weapon rise all the way
3. After a while the face will turn angry and will stay that way until you stop switching weapons

Tested on:
- Vanilla Doom shareware v1.9
- Chocolate Doom v1.7.0, with Doom II

The first one is him just being pissed at you for freezing his arm mid-motion.

Something to do with the weapon's READY state not being called. It was in another topic here but I can't remember which on.

When I was younger I thought that Doomguy was getting pissed at me so I refrained from suppressed fire.

This made my day.

He gets frustrated for holding the game before it starts.

Stat bar's just coded to consider the amount of time the weapon's been outside its ready state; it's not smart about *why* it has been outside that state. So anything from pausing the game, switching weapons really fast, or some poor DeHackEd work can result in a sustained grimace.

For some reason, I love to see him angry. Makes me laugh.
