Essential improvements

EX / PS DeHacker v1.0

Ability to set run to be always on, instead of having to hold down the run button or using the Caps Lock/Scroll Lock/Num Lock toggle fix.
Mouse look set to always on, instead of having to hold down the look button or using the Caps Lock/Scroll Lock/Num Lock toggle fix.
Strafing is fixed to no longer be used only in a straight line or having to hold down the strafe button. This includes fixing the proper strafing speed and the ability to turn with the mouse while strafing.
Always turn off the cd check.
Patch works with both Powerslave and Exhumed.
