Just out of curiousity, why can I move so much faster sometimes in spectator mode than when actually playing? Is there any way to adjust the servers settings to allow for greater forward speed movement than what is normally done now? (I'm not talking about strafing either, just the normal "run" speed to be raised)

WOOF!

for your 1st question: It's a feature in r1q2. I don't know if it can be changed, r1ch or quadz should know.

second: I would think so, but again- I'm not sure.

Mangy is your collar popped in that pic? It better not be, I consider you to be a pretty cool guy. If it is infact popped, I will have to retract my opinion of you.

I don't think you can change the run speed. It would be interesting to see someone work on a quake 2 mod with more options, such as being able to change run speed, enabling/disabling strafe jumping, etc.

DISABLE strafe jumping?!? would that even be considered a Q2 mod??

It's already built-in, actually: sv_airaccelerate 1

Strafe jump doesn't work at all then. But I'm told by reputable sources (naymlis, daelmun, if I recall correctly) that a completely different kind of speed jumping becomes possible, then. I need to go back and re-read their descriptions of it, because I have never managed to do more than hop around like a slug on airaccelerate servers...

Regards.

circle jumping. you sort of move your mouse back and forth as you are jumping forward. its not as fast as strafe jumping and double jumps are way harder with it. I think the only dudes ive seen use it today are manipulator and some dude from va.

Crap, no wonder im such a turtle. That is how i move. Kind of between that and a "swing" between jumps.

And on a side note, MM's collar isnt "popped", it is a collared shirt. Period. Like a denim collared shirt. No other way it would be worn save for cutting the collar off, but the late '80's punk scene is long dead, so nobody does that no more. Flanel shirts world wide can live long lives free from worry.

Interesting, thanks for the tip console. Apparently, the console commands guide implies there's more than 2 possible values for that register:

sv_airaccelerate

Type: Register

Default: 0

Description: The maximum additional allowable air acceleration velocity.

Note: Normally this variable is set to 0 and players have no control of their velocity when in air. If this variable is increased then players will be able to control their velocities in mid-air allowing them more control of their movement. If you wish to make the air control the same as in Quake and QuakeWorld then you should set this variable to a value of 10. This variable is ignored for single-player and cooperative games.

Oh ya, off topic here, does anyone know where I could find a rocket launcher model for q2 that resembles the rocket launcher of q1 or q3?

circle jumping looks sexy

What I was asking was this. In spectator mode (free flying mode) your forward speed is about 3 or 4 times faster. Is it possible to make the "forward run" speed the same while playing? Not while just in the air. I'm talking about moving forward running normally as fast as someone who's an expert can strafe jump?

And thx Gator for explaining about the shirt lol. I wasn't quite sure what he meant by "popped collar".

WOOF!

Yeah, that's what the 3.19 point release notes claimed too:

- New server cvar: sv_airaccelerate. This controls the optional air
acceleration facility. The default value is 0, which disables air control.
The usual value to replicate the air control seen in the original Quake and
later versions of Quakeworld is 10. 10 allows for much more
air control (as was seen in 3.15). This value is ignored in single player
and coop.

In-between values don't work though. Looks like the implementor made a typo in the source code, but in any case, if you set it to 0 it's 0. If you set it to anything but 0, it becomes 10.

quadz
