Laser jumps

[s9^]

Thx esteel, it's a very clear explanation of what I meant in my previous post.

That jump is not hard to do at all and it's very useful

I think I'd have to see it.

You think some of you could create some demos to help explain?

[esteel]

Just take the two files in one of my previous posts.. one of them includes several demos which should be all you need
Put the files into the 'data' directory and in Nexuiz choose the Demos menu to watch the demos.

i have noticed hen laser jumping if you aim at your feet you dont jump very high, but if you aim just a little up then the most you can look down you get a nice jump

Seems the mop and bucket brigade is gonna have lotsa work again this morning...

Well that one was at least a really helpful post but you are right.. i read now four of his posts and i'm already fet up.
Although i allready worte what he just repeated with LESS info in it.. What i wrote was (a few posts up)

While standing still its just looking straight down and fire/jump at the same time. While running the same thing will have the laser impact 'a bit behind you' so you will not reach the maximum hight possible. Try looking down something like 75degree instead of 90° which should give you a higher jump.

I finally learned to laser jump after usil666 kicked my ass once and then told me to spectate him when I complained.

I've found that it's consistent MOST of the time... except on Aneurism (I think that's the level) - the one with the central outdoor room with the mortar at the middle on the floor and the teleporter in the corner, and the stairs on the second level going up to the rocket launcher. Anyway, the floor where the mortar is curves in a strange way that seems to mess up my laser jumping most of the time.

In other level's it's been pretty predictable... every so often it doesn't work, but I usually just assume it was my fault.

Well I dont think thats aneurysm, but I cant really figure which map you are describing either... I assume you mean downer.

Yeah sounds like downer.. http://www.gamepn.com/galleries.php?gallery=302&view&image=11548

If you have Nexuiz 2.3 i added (a hopefully nice) document Nexuiz/docs/basics.html which should explain laserjumping and also give some tipps on how to start with learning it.
Well if not, its just a conversion of that post: http://forums.alientrap.local/viewtopic.php?t=1344

You're right, that's the map I was talking about. Oops.
