i like this laser junp coz i luv hl1dm gauss jumping...though in hl there was more complex tehnique)

hi , i just want to ask if you guys are aware of gaining speed and air time when you , say laser jump off a jump pad , then look up slowly (takes time to get look up speed right) , i have noticed and practised this and have improved jumps and reaching points of distance , ive had the speed indicator on and can see a gain , i seem to get roughly 3 m/s.
also same jump but do a 360 spin off it and when you get the turn right this results in more height!

mentalrespaced (yes that map) is perfect for showing/trying this

its quite amazing to see it , as your view tends to err , look unusuall

just to point out too that u dont need to go off a pad for the first one

try it out!!

im at aussienexers ctf1 if you guys want to see it

regards

p.s im calling it straft forwards (or maybe strut forwards)

alias +wjumpE "impulse 1; cl_pitchspeed 1000; +lookdown"
alias -wjumpE "+attack; +jump; wait;wait;wait;wait;wait; wait; wait; wait; wait;wait; -jump; -attack; wait; -lookdown; force_centerview; cl_pitchspeed 150"
bind SPACE +wjumpE

and I use SPACE to do the laser jump. ymmv

i know this is an old thread, but how would one implement one of these types of bindings? in the console? I want to do some tweaking to my binds and experiment with different things.

help appreciated!

If you are on windows:

• Navigate to the 'Nexuiz' directory.
• Open the 'data' folder.

If you are on mac:

• Open Finder
• command-shift-g and then type in '~/.nexuiz/data/

Now you are in your data directory. Create a file called 'autoexec.cfg'. In this file you put your various alias's:

Code: Select all

#example autoexec
#Laser Jump
alias +wjumpE "impulse 1; cl_pitchspeed 1000; +lookdown"
alias -wjumpE "+attack; +jump; wait;wait;wait;wait;wait; wait; wait; wait; wait;wait; -jump;  -attack; wait; -lookdown; force_centerview; cl_pitchspeed 150"
#Name Changes
alias fragit "name ^1frag^2it
alias fragit2 "name ^x808frag^x009it

Close that. Now open the file called 'config.cfg', in the same directory. Now you can edit which key you want to laser jump with, for example:

Code: Select all

bind ESCAPE "togglemenu"
bind SPACE "+wjumpE; -wjumpE"
bind APOSTROPHE "say_team Roaming @ %l (%h,%a)"


But to be honest, making a laser jumping alias is pretty soft, and IMO just reduces the effectiveness of a Laser Jump. A laser jump can be used for so much more than just straight up and down, and if you don't practice it, you'll never have that advantage.
