The Double Jump
« on: September 22, 2006, 04:48:36 PM »
I have always struggled to make double jumps consistently off of small blocks.  This seems to be one of the most important and frequently used techniques in jumping.  I use cl_maxfps 90, gl_swapinterval 1, and mouse2 for jump.  Are there any tricks to mastering this technique beyond just hitting jump button twice because I would really like to be better at it.

Thanks!

It's actually possible to do it in just about any fps. Once you do it once (I'm sure you've done it atleast once, and even more) just memorize the exact angle that you did it at and try to replicate it. I use 60 fps btw.

If you have a slight run up to the block then 60 or 90 fps will do, move forward and d/jump just before you reach the box - but it's always tricky.

I find I can consistently do those small block d/jumps using 25fps and doing a standing d/jump whilst pushed up against the small block.  Unfortunately 25 fps isn't very good for long/speed jumps so sometimes a lot of changing fps needs to be done to complete a complex map.  I also find 25fps good for certain ladder jumps.

DM server is fucked. 2 point blank rockets from spawn and lava damage and player survived? WTF?" Also someone has fucked with the spawn points, every single time no matter how big the map you spawn right in front of the person who killed you last
