Can I throw my two cents in this?

I actually have Q3DM17 created for Quake2.  It's called "The Longest Three Feet."  Here's a screenshot.



Now, to me, that railgun platform looks a little close, but no matter, we'll try it anyway.  It's probably close because Q2 has to use wind tunnels for jumppads.

Now, I played Q2 deathmatch through all of college.  If my ability to perform grenade-BFG jumps does not cut it, then I'm not sure what will.

In Quake2, in The Longest Three Feet, a rocketjump across the void, even with the rocket fired at an angle, consistently falls (you guessed it) about three feet short.

O.o that MAP is all jacked up!

It's not really a bad map, but the scale is all wrong :b

Oh come on, there's nothing like a little flamefest  for attracting new fans to the mod

Say what you like, this is one way to keep the boards active :]

I thought lee made somekind of post where he would say that he finished those q2 skins , thats all ,

now about all the classes ,
there all jacked up.

reason:
nobody can remake the classes like they where in there original game .
the reason is we cant port things over .
hell , even a mod that updates your graphics like tenabrea and zdoom make it so that it feels diffirent to do a jump anf that you miss .


the only thing we CAN do is make it as close as possible and balance things out .


let me put it diffirent :
if we would have it true to the original then .
-doom would no longer jump
-doom would no longer be able to duck .
-doom his screen would go completely red when you catch a rocket with your theeth
-doom his shotgun would do random damage up to 300
-the boomstick his knockback would be extremely high like in 99a ( this wouldn't be so bad I think )
- forget about drowning in water because doom walks on water
-quake1 wouldnt be able to duck anymore .
-quake1 would get 150 or was it 200 armor points for red armor .
-strogg would get that white screeen when he gets hit and that sporking irritating scream when he falls into lava .


and so on .

I think this is a good idea.

Actually I think wall riding would be cool if his jumping was inhibited simultaeously to make it balanced. It would be cool if each class had to rely more on their own intrinsic movement techniques. I was playing Q2 tonight and noticed ramp jumping gives you a BIG boost (maybe Gen has the feature but it hasn't been used much yet since there aren't a lot of ramps in the current maps, like there are in the Warehouse.) Also, perhaps it's just me, but it seemed like strafe-jumping accelerated to higher speeds than in Gen, but maybe it just seemed that way cause there were no Doomers and Slippys to chase after.  ~ Oh yeah, also it seemed to take much longer to pull the pin on hand grenades.

Btw, for fun's sake, I went and tested the theory that Strogg could not jump the q3dm17 gap.
It's nonsense. The first try (hence the demo name) that I recorded, was spot on. You can even get farther, if you execute it perfectly.

No bullshit -> here's the (99d) demo to prove it:

Remember, it is not always the tool that is the cause of failure - sometimes it's the person using it :]

There's only one kind of 'sick trickjump' that isn't possible in Generations yet, and that's the so-called 'circle-jump'. But even that may still be in the works.
