Topic: [TRICKS] #1 (dm2)

Hi,

  I've just released two trick videos of moves that I had not seen as yet. They are very short videos, I hope you enjoy them...

Map: dm2
Description: Long jump
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knMe0lXc2gI

Map: dm2
Description: Double rocket jump
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcL9cGWQ33E

Map: dm2
Description: Long jump² (The trick here is to land on the upper ledge, not the lower ledge)
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MD8iqcjzDiY


I used CamStudio (camstudio.org) to record the videos.

Teewars is cool fun!

Used to be very active waay back

Re: [TRICKS] #1 (dm2)

FireArrow, i disagree with you. I love tricks and these one are great. I use sometimes double RJ on dm2/6, i think that people doesn't use them enough. But maybe few people don't come from Quake's serie...

My doublejump sux so i'm going to train it tongue

Re: [TRICKS] #1 (dm2)

The first trick could be a little of use, not much though. The 2nd one really sucks.. its faster to just hook up there instead of waiting to get raped while the rocket is coming down.

Re: [TRICKS] #1 (dm2)

It's for the movement's beauty, not for the efficiency...
Maybe someone could make tutorial movements? I would stick it then.

Re: [TRICKS] #1 (dm2)

@Daniel & FireArrow, tricks are just tricks, they are normally something that is challenging to do... Try that long jump, see if you can do it - maybe you are much better than me and can do it everytime without trouble!?

@FireArrow, both are not special, but both haven't been shown before! As far as I know, I'm the first to release a double rocket jump video! smile

@Daniel, I don't RJ in a DM game, as you said it's a lot faster to chain up the wall. Besides that, you lose too much life from RJs.

@all the others, thanks. I hope to have another long jump video soon, a much harder one wink

Nice, I hadn't thought about doing it like that! I'll have to try that one out later tonight...

ps. Why no background? Is that in low detail or something!?!?

12

Re: [TRICKS] #1 (dm2)

yup, low detail or quality texture, i dont know which on really. i dont like the background since i can barely see the aim with it tongue

Re: [TRICKS] #1 (dm2)

I've got a vid here of a thripple Rocketjump on
a custommap. Recorded 0.22. Maybe I'll UL it these
days - you can even reach higher distances with
multi-rocketjumps!

Re: [TRICKS] #1 (dm2)

didnt like those tricks anyway..

How about releasing your video??? It's nice that you tell us, but can you show us?

Can you do a triple rocket jump in 0.3x? I've been messing around with the idea and I can't do it. The only way I can think of is: Do a normal double rocket jump next to a large vertical wall and then shooting a rocket into the wall on your way up... Is that how you do it?

Re: [TRICKS] #1 (dm2)

The rocket-jump looks neat. smile Did you use fraps to record? I would like to know if there is a nice linux program. big_smile

No, that is not me; it's just a figment of your imagination.

Re: [TRICKS] #1 (dm2)

@nikoPSK, I used CamStudio (freeware) running on a Vista machine.

If you search through these forums, you should find a few postings that recommend various linux software.

Good luck and I hope to see some new trick jumps soon smile

Re: [TRICKS] #1 (dm2)

I guess just gtk-recordmydesktop, but I guess I'm going offtopic here big_smile . The app is a bit slow, and I doubt it's my machine. But anyways, very nice videos. smile

No, that is not me; it's just a figment of your imagination.

Re: [TRICKS] #1 (dm2)

DM2 is great for trick and nade jumps of all sorts, some of which can be quite useful during actual games as well. Once you get good at them, you won't take more than 2 damage per jump, so if you launch yourself into that pile of shields in the middle of the cave, it can end up paying off. Not to mention the satisfaction you get from stealing the katana right in front of someone's nose and cutting them down with it.

I enjoy messing around with the hook and various jumps on regular maps even more than on those designed for racing. If anyone feels like recording stuff or just experimenting together, feel free to message me in the #teewars channel sometime.

I disagree if you just fire the rocket and jump at the same time you jump just as high.
