Less snot

Finally getting on the snot's neck – a year later (written 9/2019).

Unfortunately, it's a bit too late for ELEX modding. Plus, starving the snot of critters, spinehounds, etc. halfway to the player isn't particularly engaging. (It also makes little sense to turn it off completely.)

On sloping terrain, the snot hits the ground if the starting velocity is too low.

especially with the Critters, whose heads hang lower than those of the SpineHounds, for example.

With a reduced starting speed of 18. 5 you still get the full charge from the spinehounds, setting lifetime to 1. 5 s doesn't change the damage that much. I then had to reduce the velocity in 10th increments and increase the gravity (you shouldn't do this with the critters because otherwise they'll just spit into the ground).

Maybe someone will find time to better “fine-tune” the interaction between StartVelocity, gravity and LifeTime (the effects?). These are available in the It_Proj_ -tpl files Molerat_Critter or Wolf_SpineHound for example (guess "Proj" stands for "Projectile").
