	:Default: omitted. If present, this flag allows the player to jump all the time. Use this for any class where jumping is expected. Currently the Doom marine and Heretic hero don't have it, even though they have '''jumpspeed'''. For them, you need to enable jumping in the compatibility settings. Future games like Hexen and Strife will have their base classes with '''+AlwaysJump'''. When using '''playerdelta''', you can remove this flag by putting '''-AlwaysJump'''.		:Default: omitted.

-By default, under the base folder, in the root player.edf, there are two classes defined: DoomMarine (only if game is Doom) and Corvus (only if game is Heretic). Any of these classes may be redefined in mods, there's no need for a delta structure. So if you want to change the player speed and initial health, you can do so in mods by redefining game's default class.
