#15 [2.1.0 Test-1] Unlimited Archvile's attack range

[Julian Nechaevsky]

Archvile's attack range is unlimited, which is not correct. Vanilla has range limit of 1024 map units, as Doom Wikia says: http://doom.wikia.com/wiki/Arch-vile

Unfortunatelly, I was unable to find this range in original Linux Doom source, but anyway, this case can be easily fixed by adding one sting into attacks.ddf:

[ARCHVILE_FIRE]
ATTACKRANGE=1024; // <-- Should be added

Here's how it looks (with comparisons): https://youtu.be/SF1Ys2C3CBo
But also please note that fixing this case makes Archvile a lot easier :(

I will try and add this as a gameflag in a new submenu called 'Compatibility Options', that can exist solely for those who want Vanilla behavior =)

Dammit! I was wrong, because I was looking at doom.wikia.com :O
So the correct range limit is 896 map units, take a look:
