CompatFlags

Flag Name Console shortcut Value Description
Find shortest textures like Doom compat_shorttex 1 In Doom, AASHITTY in Doom II or AASTINKY in Doom was created to fill in the place of texture index 0, normally treated by the Doom engine as no texture at all. When this is enabled, the "raise platform by lower texture" line special and MAP07 floor raise considers AASHITTY or AASTINKY as a valid texture and uses it's height when raising a platform. If disabled, these textures aren't considered valid and are ignored.
Use buggier stair building compat_stairs 2 Causes doom to calculate heights of stairs when stairbuilding from the last (topmost) step, instead of the first (bottom-most) step.
Limit pain elementals to 20 lost souls compat_limitpain 4 Prevents pain elementals from spawning lost souls if there are 20 or more on the map.
Don't let others hear pickups compat_silentpickup 8 This prevents players from hearing other players picking up items, weapons, or powerups in netgames.
Actors are infinitely tall compat_nopassover 16 This causes all objects to occupy an infinite vertical space from the ceiling to the floor, which prevents monsters or the player from being able to pass over or under other solid objects, regardless of whether they are touching each other on the Z plane or not. WARNING: Enabling this will break ZDoom-style thing bridges and objects that rely on height sensitivity.
Allow silent BFG trick compat_soundslots 32 Forces all actors to play all sounds only on one channel, cutting off any previous sounds the actor has made. Only enable this if you can't live without the silent BFG trick, as it will cripple the sound system and prevent actors from playing any more than one sound at a time.
Enable wall running compat_wallrun 64 This uses a buggier method of collision detection with walls that allows a player to run double average speed when pressing against a vertically-aligned wall.
Spawn item drops on the floor compat_notossdrops 128 Items dropped by monsters appear on the floor below the center of the monster, instead of being tossed from the monster's corpse. May cause items to get stuck in walls or appear at the bottom of pits.
All special lines can block use lines compat_useblocking 256 Any lines with line specials prevent the player from triggering a usable line behind it, regardless of whether the frontmost line can be used itself or not.
Limited movement in the air compat_limited_airmovement 131072 Skulltag allows players to move full speed while in mid-air plus the additional speed set in sv_airfriction, allowing players to run faster in mid-air (eg. by jumping) than on the ground. If this is disabled the original ZDoom method is used: players' movement speed is reduced when in mid-air to the value set in sv_airfriction.
Plasma bump bug compat_plasmabump 262144 Allows players to pick up items on the other side of solid walls by running into the wall at a specific angle.
Allow instant respawn compat_instantrespawn 524288 Allows players to respawn instantly after being killed by holding down the "use" key when being hit.
Disable taunts compat_disabletaunts 1048576 Prevents players from using the "taunt" command.
Original sound curve compat_originalsoundcurve 2097152 Enabling this uses the original Doom sound curve, which causes sounds to fade away at a shorter distance. When disabled, the Hexen sound curve is used instead, which allows players to hear sounds louder, farther away than usual.
Use old intermission screens/music compat_oldintermission 4194304 Disables Skulltag intermission screens/music.
Disable stealth monsters compat_disablestealthmonsters 8388608 Stealth monsters behave like regular monsters.
