Fans of changing the gameplay gather in the in-game chat. Check it out.
And how does removing one-way paths change the gameplay? Or is it also part of the gameplay when the player takes a single path to a one-way path? Well, then, sorry, replayable auto-battles, bugs, and desynchronization are also part of the gameplay; remove the HD mod and play like that, you true SOD player.
P.S. There are many excellent HL templates, but, unfortunately, the presence of one-way paths strongly discourages people, as, by the will of the generator, an equal game can instantly turn into nonsense.
