Player Sprite Size Help Needed

[Empyre]

Hellspawn lets the player play as some of the Doom monsters, and GothMod replaces sounds and sprites (no code) for the monsters. I thought it would be fun to play these together, but whenever I try, Zandronum refuses, complaining that the mancubus sprite is too big for the player. There could also be other sprites with the same problem.

Here are the entire contents of the console:

Effective sprite height of skin Base too big! Downsizing.
Offending lump name FATTG1.

Execution could not continue.

The base skin sprite of player class MancubusClass exceeds the limits!

I need help making a patch wad to fix the problem. I would love to be able host these together on my server in the 2 weeks leading up to Halloween.

I have only just began to dabble in Dehacked (for ZDaemon compatibility) and Decorate, and I have never used acs yet. I'm more of a mapper (empyrion_v25 coming soon).

Zandronum requires the visible size of the player sprites not to exceed the actual player size by too much. There are two ways to make this compatible with Zandronum: Either you increase the size of player class MancubusClass to match the size of the sprites, or you downsize the sprites.

Thanks for replying.
Would using the scale command in Decorate be enough, or would I have to change the sprite itself?

IIRC a proper scale value in the DECORATE definition of the player class should be enough.

i can confirm that this works, as i once forgot to set a scale on a playerclass with hi-res sprites. after i added down scale to the decorate file it worked fine.
