/// \brief special trick routines to make some SW tricks look OK with

///	- invisible staircase (e.g. eternal/map02)
///	- floating ceilings (e.g. eternal/map03)
///
///	It is not guaranteed that it looks identical to the SW mode,

hw_trick.c is a file that attempts to recreate vanilla Doom mapping exploits, such as the deep water trick, and invisible staircases (see testholes.wad, enable gr_correcttricks.) Those effects are not relevant in the context of SRB2, and usually breaks some maps (sometimes with intended effects) when enabled. This branch removes hw_trick.c and the corresponding console variable.
