I finally actually released the update (finally). This shit was ready like 2 weeks ago but I got so caught up in telling the government to fuck off and stop trying to get extra taxes out of me that I forgot to release it.
Anyhow, basically just bugfixes and some weapon tweaks. I was gonna do something more bombastic but every time I tried to add a new system (like the enhanced infighting AI) it turned the whole balance on its head so bad that I had to remove it.
I did change the menu layout though, hopefully it's easier to find settings now.

Okay so this poll's formatting is kind of fucking retarded, but hopefully everyone has enough IQ points to use it. Share if you have to. Basically, I have a few things I've been thinking of doing that I could go either way on, and I figured why not just ask. You can pick as many options on this list as you want, but each option is either a YES or NO for a given feature, allowing you to vote for or against something. If you don't care, don't vote on it.
Most of these are minor, but the full d4 normalization might change the balance a bit and a potential revenant homing missile nerf could be beneficial on maps where they're used like snipers.
Yes I know I'll probably only get a few people voting but I'm leaving this up for about 24 hours before looking at the results so hopefully it grabs most people who are interested or care.

Just a heads-up, I found out right now that Babel doesn't work with doom_complete.pk3 from wadsmoosh on newer versions of GZDoom (4.7+ at the very least). It's because the IWAD filter doesn't engage properly, so I'm trying to figure out if I can remedy it. In the meantime, if you really want to use it with doom_complete.pk3, try using an older version of GZDoom (4.4 seems to work fine). It will, however, allow you to use the SSG in Doom 1 levels, no way around that yet.
