Has anyone seen this?
I haven't tried it out yet, but it sounds like some retro fun..

pretty cool, very retro. however, i found 2 crashing bugs sofar.

power armor - crashes game.
going into a map using r1q2 crashes game:
"FPU control word not set as expected. Q2 physics model will break."

Please report those....

[Whirlingdervish]

will do!

[SkiesOfBordom]

thx, and i read the reply to the bugs....
good to kno that they know about them... tho they should have posted sooner about it.

Got in contact with the author, and on good terms, so his bugs will soon be over (and much much more )!

on an interesting side note, I saw that "FPU control word not set as expected. Q2 physics model will break." error for the first time and it wasn't while using this mod..

I was playing instagib and the server crashed while I was in spectator mode and accidentally hitting my double jump alias at the same time, while using a newer build of r1q2 than the server.

It threw this exact same error, to my surprise.

double jump?

[Whirlingdervish]

// ---double jump bind---

alias w8 "wait; wait; wait"
alias +dj "+moveup; w8; -moveup; w8; +moveup"
alias -dj "-moveup"

bind alt "+dj"

add this to your config, and hit "alt" as you run towards the smallest of the crates right in front of the big one with the YA, in the Mega Health room on q2dm1. you'll see what it does

huwa HUwaaaa!

and you fly like a birdie.

interesting, dunno how useful it is when your running around like mad crrazy but cool alias.
i made a sniper zoom one. and a remote det plasma nade alias too.

[Whirlingdervish]

I have it bound right next to my jump (space), so it's really no trouble once you get used to it.
it works on anything about that size too (rocks, crates, steps etc.), in many maps.

It definitely makes for some interesting movement opportunities when you're haulin along at top speed and you find a nice little ledge to launch off of and fly thru the air, raining slugs or rockets on the opponent..

I find it more skillful to actually do the double jumps without an alias..

that's Paril for ya, folks: bringer of rain to anyone's parade. =p

[Paril]

Heh. Well it's true, kinda like writing a program to write programs for you..

[Whirlingdervish]

yet nobody is shooting at you while you write programs, and you won't often fall in lava if you make a single errant keystroke while debugging...
