i wonder whether anybody besides me really digged the UT99 dodging movement style. Well i looked into the quakeC source with some help from the #nexuiz channel (Thanks Spaceman and Samual)..
Anyway, here's a rudimentary diff to add something in the direction of dodging...
Note you need to set the cvars
dodge
dodge_up
dodge_double_time
dodge_reload_time
to sensible values.. I used these:
set dodge 500
set dodge_up 200
set dodge_double_time 0.25
set dodge_reload_time 0.5
EDIT: Notes:
- This is totally a hack
- Acceleration is far too high. There should be a "ramp" (albeit a very short one in the order of i'd say 50ms or so)
- Since i have no idea how the code of the client is really layed out there are probably one million better places to add something like this..
EDIT2: Notes:
- To those who don't know what this is about: Besides normal jumping you get another kind of jump when your feet touch the floor (i.e. walking or standing - during bunnyhopping this is impossible to do for practical purposes). Double tap a walking key (FORWARD, BACKWARD, RIGHT, LEFT) and you make a quick jump. Thus the name "dodging". It's good to dodge e.g a rocket.. It's also a great way to start bunnyhopping
- Code: Select all
