Description

Couple problems with missile calculations in jHexen.

1 - Frost Shards. When aiming at a very high or very low angle, the angle that the shards are fired at is less than what is aimed for (with the exception of a single shard)

2 - Dark Bishop projectiles don't seem to include vertical distance in the time/speed/distance formula. In the forsaken outpost level there are dark Bishops at the bottom of a very deep chasm (behind the island of rock with repulsion discs on it). When shooting at the player from the bottom of the chasm the enemies missiles travel nearly instantaneously (straight up) to the player. There is almost no horizontal distance, but a huge vertical distance.

(by "very high or very low angle" i mean aiming straight up or down, or nearly straight up or down)

To fix this, the calculations need to use an equation which takes into consideration the vertical z dimension.

The Heretic crossbow's side shots need this too.
