No. SRB2 does not support slopes.

If you are willing to downgrade, SRB2CB supports Slopes somewhat. Plus, you don't even need slopes for that visual effect, just a ton of stairs, like in GFZ2.

...Or just some midtexture magic, if you know how!

Yes. Weren't midtextures used to create the "slopes" in Cloud Convoy?

AFAIK there's a commented section in SRB2 vanilla source code which is located in doomdef.h.

///Fun experimental slope stuff!
//#define SLOPENESS

You can comment out the second line and see the results, but I'm sure that you won't get any. Adding slopes support in software render mode would require more time for rendering each frame, and this is why it is not suitable even for modern machines when using high resolutions. To make these things become true, effective and looking eye-candy you have to rewrite entire rendering engine. CPUs are not effective as GPUs and even APUs, and you can proof it for yourself if you try to play Unreal Tournament with Pixomatic Rendering Engine.

But... Seriously, SRB2 looks okay without slopes, doesn't it?

It doesn't matter now,i'm going to make a race map,without slopes,i'll just make stairs ....
