I'd fix it, but apparently it's a "doom2.exe tactic" by some people or something. Any particular reason why this shouldn't be fixed in Odamex?
-
If Odamex aims to preserve the essence and behavior of the original game and already does so by preserving bugs such as wall-running and the plasma bump, then I think it should stay.
-
However those are all gameplay and physics changes that would effect gameplay, Naut.
I don't think there's anything wrong with fixing it since its only a cosmetic issue. Odamex will still feel like doom2.exe with or without the bug fixed.
I vote fixed.

It's a little more than just a "cosmetic issue". Things that people may be used to seeing or not used to seeing when in certain maps IS a "gameplay" issue. I'm not an expert on the subject but the argument could certainly be made.
For now I vote no on this until more research can be done.

I agree, stuff like this shouldn't be messed with, as it also may affect demo compatibility.
Its also bit non-sensical because someone may create a bug report to add it back later on.
Sorry but I have to vote no.
-
It'd have to stay if it affects demos, but does anyone have a real-world example of this affecting gameplay?
-
I don't see how it affects demo compatability. All it affects is the display of a bullet puff.
-
Yeah, but it depends if the bit of code to do the animation changes the random number generator or not. Shouldn't do, but I haven't checked either.
-
Don't fix it.
