Unfortunately backporting this fix in an out of order manner is cumbersome because it was made after several other changes in A_VileAttack that Skulltag doesn't have yet. I could do this, but this would create additional overhead once I completely upgrade the ZDoom base again.

I see. Well, you're the boss. It's your call. But I know that players would prefer the proper Doom behavior over the broken ZDoom behavior. For instance, you can't use the Arch-vile jump trick or the rocket jump trick properly in ST due to the broken ZDoom behavior.

I suppose that backporting the fixes in P_DamageMobj and P_ZMovement would create similar obstacles as well, right?

Not necessarily. A lot of the ZDoom fixes can be backported easily, I will have to look at them in detail though to be sure.

And there will be a flag that enables the "old" behavior, right? There are some mods (not many, just Deathrun off the top of my head) which rely on the high thrust provided by Arch-Vile attacks.

I believe that can be easily fixed with a DECORATE patch.

Works as intended in v2.0.
