Prime Squadron: Trick Jump Introduction

by **warren-the-ape** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 17:33

On Sunday, July 17th 2011 from 14:00 CEST, our trick jump server, PS#7, will host an exciting trick jump introduction!

If you don't know what trick jumping (TJ) is, check out the following tutorial from Diamond. It is a very nice tutorial with info about jumping techniques, nice TJ movies and info about the settings that will help you with TJ'ing.

The trick jump server runs ETPro 3.2.6. If you encounter any problems while running it, have a look at our helpdesk first. Here are some quick tips:

Run ET as administrator (for windows)
Make sure you installed the 2.60b patch (copy the files and paste them over the actual et files in your et folder)

There are a couple of settings needed for easier TJ'ing:

Code: Select all: Open console and write: /com_maxfps 125 (or 43, 76, 333) /pmove_fixed 1 /bind [button] save /bind [button] load

Since the event is open for every player, including those who TJ for the first time, we got a couple of instructors for you, who are experienced with TJ'ing and can lead you through the maps

Wow

I'd like to add that I'll be available on Prime Squadron TeamSpeak server, so I can explain things not only in written form but also verbally.

Ok, sorry for misunderstanding you. I added you on the list for instructors in the PS#7 Discussion. Same for for all instructors, make sure you are available and be there. More info for instructors will follow soon if needed.

Oh, well thank you! Hopefully i'll be avi on the 17th

To all people who want to participate. I think there is one request that, if fulfilled, would make this event more efficient and convenient. Please do NOT save/load your position on run-ups, on area on which people approach to jump. This may be annoying and may interrupt someone's jump. Always try to save/load yourself little bit behind (if possible). It's not big cost to take these two steps to point from which you usually start from. Of course sometimes it may be impossible to take another saving/loading point since in many original jumps there are extremely small spots on which player has to land/stand/jump off. Then others just have to wait their turn.

Same about !goto. Use it carefully, because you can screw up someone's jump. Try to make sure that someone you're 'goingto' is not during jump or in a place that he can easily fall off.

I suppose you agree with my point and support this request.

As a total newbie like me (i never Tjumped in my life

), I would like to know the usage of load/save and how it works, since I have no idea of what they do.
Maybe this explanation would be useful also for others noob like me

Just read the tutorial of Diamond, at least your aren't a nab then anymore on the theoretical field.

/bind [key] save
/bind [key] load

by **DMG_Kowi** » Wed Jul 13, 2011 19:40

In the most basic way. 'Save' command saves your current spatial coordinates. So when you use 'load' command you are transported directly to those coordianates, in which you made last save.

In TJ it is especially useful in original jumps. That's because original jumps often consist of few stages. Thanks to saving after certain stages, you don't have to jump everything again when you fall down or something. You can load and repeat only the part that you failed. Besides, there is one more prosaic reason: sometimes getting through succesive stages is very difficult and if you would not save and failed then, you'll spend hours to get at the same point again.

Had a blast

but maybe next time would be better to use TJmod, so people can walk through each other, and jump whenever they want to
