don't overestimate the posts on here or underestimate the worth of content on the official ql forums

find some guy doing good strafe jumps or bridge to rail in q3/ql with the key press thing so you can see what keys he is pressing then go practice stuff. Watch videos/demos of good duel or tdm players and see how they clip walls and do the little subtle things to get from A to B quicker then go practice that shit =) hf

I'd say start with the training maps available in QL.

Yeah, this movie is like the Bible of the freshly spawned player.

Mouse movement generates speed when combined with matching aw/wd. Finding the correct mouse angle at all times is very tricky but you'll learn the basics pretty quickly. You can also strafe with aw/d wd/a, wd/sd when moving right, backwards as/sd and with only using w but those are advanced stuff don't bother with those yet.

For the ambitious duelist many resources:

best thing to understand strafing faster is quake 3 defrag with camping gaz hud; however if you have problems installing it there are alternatives

q3
1)
get quake 3 defrag, download tr1ckhouse-beta3 or xcm_tricks2 maps ; when in game in these , press esc and in defrag menu click "camping gaz hud" and put it at either 3 or 9.
how this hud works is shown in the "genesis" movie already posted, it's extremey useful to learn angles

ql
2)
download raztrainql_beta3 and play the strafe pads
3)
since you are "Especially interrested in how the movement works" read this

He wants to play Quake Live not Q3a. Go away!!!

Same movement (practically).

Defrag is way better for learning movement.

Jumps are harder to pull off, better for training.

And in the long run if he really likes movement then he can play defrag maps (more than 10,000). In QL there's only two maps like that and no good mod.

Hard thing to get are competitiors on similiar lvl or a bit higher ;<

under "Quake Lessons (English)" you will find some very good tutorials for duel.
