Jumps in Q2 DMs - Other players jumping higher

[VaeVictis]

The bare minimum for hopping dm8 crates is in between 65.5-66.5 fps... I am fairly certain. I watched adrenaline do it with 67(out of a mere 10 tries, not to mention), and I personally have done it with 70. I got adrenaline to test it for me because I do not get above 60 fps anymore.

91 will do it every time in one jump without having to hit jump again at the edge

[haunted]

That may be true.. but lower numbers than 91 will do this as well.

Thank you Vae for contributing something positive. +1 respect level credits.

[haunted]

It's an incorrect contribution though... I don't want anyone to get the wrong impression or anything, although it was still positive.

I and adrenaline may have been doing something different that's advantageous for it. But for sure, it's much lower than 91. I would *guess* that the best movement for completing a crate jump at a lower fps would be wall-lstrafing up the side of the crate then leveling out the circle at the peak of your jump. Very similar to the circle/movement you do in the water on dm1 to come out of the water with no pop-up lag.

Haunted, thanks mate

This is in now in my autoexec.cfg using 'r1q2.exe' and cant jump DM8 crate, if I switch back to quake2.exe I can ..

set cl_async 1
set cl_gun "1"
set cl_particles "1"
set gl_dynamic "1"
set gl_shadows "0"
set gl_ext_palettedtexture "0"
set gl_ztrick "0"
set gl_flashblend "0"
set gl_polyblend "1"
set in_joystick "0"
set gl_cull "0"
set gl_round_down "0"
set gl_skymip "0"
set s_mixahead ".2"
set s_primary "1"
set s_khz "22"
set s_loadas8bit "0"
set cd_nocd "1"
set cl_footsteps "1"
set gl_modulate "2.5"
set gl_playermip "0.0"
set gl_picmip "0.0"
set intensity "2.0"
set vid_optimalrefresh 1
set vid_flip_on_switch 1
set gl_swapinterval 0
set rate "8000"
set cl_maxfps "125"
set r_maxfps "1000"


No big deal as no anticheat jumps ok, orf for a beer

SANTA-

What fps do you get when you 'timerefresh'?

and btw, I wouldn't be TOO surprised if 91 was the number for a completely normal, stationary, non-strafe jump. Still not so sure about that though ;> Using 100+ makes it easier though, no doubt.

[SANTA]

Haunted, thanks for reply

timerefresh = 2.161000 Sec (59.231834 FPS)

Thanks again

[haunted]

No problem buddy, and that timerefresh reading would be the reason for why you can't do those box jumps. Most likely, you're capped at 60 fps due to vsync. Depending on your video card / monitor, you may or may not be able to take vsync off. I cannot on my current PC, my monitor simply does not work in anything else.

What do you guys get?

[|iR|Focalor]

What do you guys get?

Usually 2 tacos and a coke.

[haunted]

I usually get a cheeseburger and a pitcher of PBR

FPS I get 59.something always, just like SANTA. It's only stable 59.x because I'm in a really low video mode, particles off, and gl_picmip 3. Without that it's not so fun haha. At least it feels a little better than my laptop though

[SANTA]

Thanks elsium, haunted et-al

This did it ... 

"You might want to check that you're using R1GL instead of the default GL renderer by adding set vid_ref "r1gl" to your autoexec.cfg"

Can now jump that dm8 crate

pretty sure you can do it with like 60...(using a double jump script) without it...not sure...I tried to do it with 125 (without it - albeit drunk) and couldn't manage...

set gl_ztrick "0"

What the hell does that do?

hmmm.. I don't think 60 is doable.. I've been on it for years and have used a dj script for years as well. I'd be very surprised is what I'm saying :> When we did it, 67 you hit a few times then once with 66...65 wasn't happening. Maybe dael knew that too, being that he used 66 fps. Haven't messed around with it w/o a dj script in awhile though.
