strafe jumping in seige?

[stubert]

do you guys have any idea why you can't strafe jump under any class is siege andhow this might be undone?

Define strafe jumping.

[stubert]

the technique in quake 3 based games that allows a player to move very fast.

 

for instance, i can grab the flag on mp/ctf4 in 13 seconds and score a point be 20 seconds into a game. it's an integral part of the hardcore gaming scene and is purposefully disabled in seige mode on jk3

 

 

if you'd like a demonstration, send me an aim (stubert311)

what buttons do you use to strafe jump? just left and right plus jump?

that tutorial should answer all your questions, it's much the same for jk2/3

Ok, well since Jump Strafing (at least I heard) is suppose to be an exploit of the Quake movement code, I honestly can't say how it doesn't work in Seige. Does it work in the other gametypes?

[stubert]

well.. it's not an exploit.. it was a bug in quake 2 but since it added so much dimention to the game they kept it in the game.. it works in every gametype but siege in jk3 and i remember reading the purposefully disabled it

[razorace]

Well, I meant exploit as in it was originally not intended.

 

Anyway, this means that there has to be an exception set up in the bg_pmove.c and/or or possibly the g_active.c. Look for g_gametype checks in those files and you should be able to backtrack it.
