SOC: Hyper Ring Icon not working right.

[glaber]

Recently I tried to port the Silver ring box to 2.1 only to discover that the SOC information I used as reference is out dated at best. So far I have the box breaking properly now, but the Icon doesn't spawn and wins up breaking thing type 100, the blue crawla.

here is my current soc for the box:

The first thing you should always do when your SOC isn't working: Load it with addfile and see if the console is spitting out any errors.

WARNING: Line 40: Couldn't find state named 'S_DISS'
WARNING: mobjtype 'MT_HYPERRINGICON' does not exist.
WARNING: Line 70: Couldn't find mobjtype named 'MT_HYPERRINGICON'

S_DISS is now called S_NULL. MT_HYPERRINGICON is missing from your freeslot block. After changing those things, the SOC runs correctly for me and the monitor gives me 25 rings upon being popped.

Ahh thank you. I'm surprised I didn't find the missing hyperringicon thing earlier, but I honestly don't think I would had found the replacement for S_DISS on my own.
