Hello! Got a question for a developer. How exactly does this port differ from exe damage table and calculation for hitscan weapons?

Excellent, I'll give that a read, thanks!

e: Haha I don't remember posting in that, but I do remember how ST used to be with the Zdoom table. Still curious if the compatflag is verified to be 1:1 to the exe damage. What tipped me off about this was not the feel per se, because I simply don't have a good feel for Zandronum, but a user that mentioned that the compatflag seems to favor the lower end of the damage calculations?

The flag restores the random number table from Vanilla Doom, see here. It does not change anything else, like how hit boxes are handled, etc.
