[Not a bug] wallrunning?

I have trouble with wallrunning. It doesn't seem to work correctly in 2.0, but it worked fine in 1.23. Check it out maybe?

You might want to check to see if it's on: go to the Options menu, and go to the Compatibility Options menu. You'll see an option for wallrunning there.

[ADDED]
OK, I just tried it now and it works as it should: you can wall run with the compatflag on, but you can't if it's off.

IMHO it's amazing that it took 5 years to fix such an obvious bug. Are there actually any WADs that require it?

It's an often used dm trick and i think speed runners may use it as well

I remember I once played a wad in which there was a long hallway that had a hole in the middle of it that i wasn't supposed to be able to cross, but I accidentally did wallrunning, and I made it over. I wasn't supposed to do this, but I did. Oops. Anyway, I like to leave wallrunning on, mainly for the speedrunning purpose, even though speedrunning is not something I'm good at.

[FUTURE-EDIT] I turned wallrunning off right about the time I realized I didn't actually use it.

I believe scythe has a few areas where you can wallrun to take a shortcut or get to a secret, but as far as being required for anything, I don't think so

As was mentioned earlier, it's a compatibility option now, since it interferes with fast-moving things.
