 - Right-extend "block" characters in ENDOOM to emulate VGA "line graphics enable" mode.
 - Fix A_Refire not calling noise alert.
 - Match Doom behavior in the thing tick function that wouldn't advance the state for zero duration frames and leave them in a -1 loop.
+- Fix PNGs with fully transparent pixels loading colors that causes rendering issues when used with texture filtering.
 
 ## Misc:
 - Refactor of old Status Bar renderer to data-driven SBARDEF format.
