Ultimate2 was always my favourite beginners map.

I'm not sure if it has a timer, but it's a great run with nice obstacles.

For your config, all you really need is the UPS meter on and:

\df_chs1_draw 1 \df_chs1_info1 55

This turns on OB detection. Say you're up on a high ledge and you look at the floor below, if it says G then you'll trigger an OB if you walk off, if it says J you'll trigger an OB if you jump. Landing with 0 ups you'll bounce up, landing with speed will shoot you forward with speed relative to the height you fell (jump just after hitting the ground to get the most speed).

Just a noob question here, I don't do defrag. But what are the criteria for bouncing up straight from 0 ups? It seems like it doesn't always work?

What's OB?

thanks

overbounce

If you are sure that you are at the height needed for an OB you just free fall down with 0ups. Do not press arrow keys after you've reached 0ups and do not press jump when (or right before) you land.

Easier to just try some OB's in freestyle maps to get the hang of it.

play warsow race !

Mo-fuggin camping_gaz scripts is what you need, but let's talk a bit easier, camping_gaz HUD is what you need (to learn the end of all sorts of degrees and angles) mo-fuggiN

I somewhat understand the camping_gaz HUD but the rest of what you just said might as well have been double dutch :p

ok, first:

df_chs0_draw 1
then spec or watch demo of pro strafe/all weap df player (will show you keys press and when)

also, if circle jump and/or strafe lacking in efficiency, is crucial practice strafe pad till you can do a set reliably in a training map, like tr1ckhouse-beta3, or cos1_beta7b, or bliss-beta2a

also, in gaz hud, goal is stay in BRIGHT GREEN. while impossibru to do so as human, best to try as much as possible can to get as close to bright green. dark green is accel zone too but not so much. this important as well.

There is no 'easy' way to get into. Either you get infected and never quit or you drop it after first 5-6 (maybe more, not sure) hours.
Maps depend on what goals you want to achieve. Basically, playing older maps back from early 2000-s is always a good choice for any 'starters'.

Now on to:
>the sort of tips that "I wish someone had told me that earlier"
Luckily, my mentors in period of getting the hold of things were Nt.jud4s and DeaTh, for what I've never been able to fully express my gratitude to them. The first tip is very simple and yet very important: practicing is crucial, but you have to understand what exactly are you doing. Playing the same map over and over won't make a lot of use, you'd better come up with some kind of development program and try to stick to it (playing different kind of maps for perfecting various skills, particularly with accent made on aspect you want or need to perfect the most). Theory is crucial as well, these days you have tons of things already studied and described by hundreds of players over the past years. Use this knowledge. Combine learning theory with smart practice - and it'll be the most effective way to learn something. Again, it all depends on what goals you want to achieve and how big they are.
The second tip is not to be scared or frustrated by your own limits. Think of any thing you can't do atm as of just a temporarily bound put on you by your own fear of not being able to pull out something you've never done.
The last one I'd give would be understanding the reason why you play it, if you keep going. But that's a long shot obviously.

Config is mostly important in terms of getting all the hud elements you need in the right places. It is claimed that strafers prefer using lower sens, while rocketrunners go for high one with all the other people in between, but that's more like a common practice, not an advice.

Hope it hepls, ask any questions if you feel like it.

it's a videogame mod, relax.

Gosh, aren't you cool.

That'll teach him to give a helpful answer and show a bit of passion for a leisure activity. What a chump, amirite?

relax, it's a reply to a reply to a videogame mod question.

I'm relaxed, but I'm also sick of gratuitous negativity. You're making the world a tiny bit worse with every joyless, lifeless troll post you make.

don't pop a vein emo.

www.q3df.org

go online, ask others ingame, spectate

fing the vid-genesis:the beginning of by cetus and that'll show you most everything

you either pro trololol or just silly. cetus never make video genesis - the beginning of, that quan-time project.

pornstar maps best

No.

lold

Get on the q3df.org servers and make some friends. Having someone to play with, exchange ideas, fix probs etc.. really helps IME.

daddy is mashing

some good, beginner strafe run maps:

jump
jump2
jump3
jump4
jump5
jump6

try to strafe in as straight a line as you can, as fast as you can, and you'll get the best time ;p sorta obvious, but very few actually approach jumps with this mindframe.

try it yourself, first, then look at world record strafes on those maps, and then try to imitate them. after that, you can move on to some other maps, like coldrun (heaps fun, not -that- hard).

also, config isn't important, as long as you're comfortable with it. unless you want to do some really crazy shit, in which case you might need all those weird counters and rulers and stuff :x

if you'll just be strafing and doing some runs (speed runs on strafe maps, or fast caps etc), you only need a cfg you're comfortable with, and some maps.

ya is tru.

if doing more important thing which require precise other thing, need implement many hex and voodoo command with chicken on desk ready for sacrifice. is only way proper precision occur

lol @ chicken on desk.
what if the chicken doesn't feel ready to be sacrificed??
:D
