[next] Step-up doesn't occur on this slope.

Oh it doesn't work at all, that's curious. I assume since you marked it as "[next]" then this isn't an issue in master?

gonna check if this is a master thing, pretty confident it isnt..

does not occur in master

it also happens on this slope [next]

changed milestone to %2.2.9

So the issue here is that these slopes have Non-Ramp Sector (effect 14) set on them. Previously this only disabled stepping down. (You can see Tails tripping down a slope in the GIF below.) One of the changes I made in !1192 (merged) was letting that sector effect also disable stepping up. I thought this might be somewhat more consistent too since the old step up code didn't actually run when effect 14 is set. But I guess it ended up working by some other means.

There are two solutions we could take here. I could make it so effect 14 doesn't disable step up, only step down. Or leave it as is, since it's a given to me that the effect will also be removed from the map itself.

To argue in favor of solution 2, I think the ability to disable both step up and down on small ledges for instance is more useful than disabling step down alone. It also only really breaks slopes, but I don't think you'd use this effect on slopes intentionally anyway since it breaks walking down them.

Deep Sea has been updated to not use the effect on slopes anymore (other maps don't use it), so this is not a problem anymore.

It says on the wiki that Sector type 14 (Non-Ramp sector) is intended to only disable stepdown. (See the end of the first paragraph here: https://wiki.srb2.org/wiki/Non-Ramp_Sector)

This breaks maps that use Non-Ramp Sector stairs, where they don't want people snapping down stairs, but they want to make them act like stairs when walking up them.

tl;dr This doesn't only effect slopes.

[next] Step-up doesn't occur on this slope.
