Demo Contest

Reader idea, thanks hoover :) Since news is so slow currently, why don't we have a demo contest? Make a demo in Q3 of one minute or less showing something cool that you can do in the game, be it a minute long of bouncing, some ninja rocket jump moves or similar things. I'd suggest just zipping up the demos and putting them on a public server for the others to check out. I'll even watch them all to select a winner who will, euh, receive worldfame and a lap dance by Steve.

  • OMG!!! I have been trying these 2 jumps for like an hour, but can\'t make them, but what I figured out is, when i put in \"/g_syncronousclients 1\" i think it is, then I can\'t reach this spot by rocket jumping strait up, but when i take g_syncronous to 0 I can make it, what does this g_syncronous actually do?
    Oh and to put it on for recording a demo, i can put it to 0 after the demo has started and get the regular rocket jump height, I was going to show up this guy that had to use 2 rocket jumps to get up to this spot and silly him, didnt notice that it only takes one :p
    Anyway to fix this?




















  • Wumpscut, it\'s not a cheat so much as a bug in a few maps with death regions (under fog or infinite drop pits). I\'m sure you probably remember JC putting in that anti-spam code into the game (1 instruction to the server per second). Well if you send more than one instruction (whether it\'s typing text or hitting tab like a tab-monkey, or whatever), you\'ll momentarily lag out. The problem is, the server doesn\'t do a precise event log for the client and simply figures out where you end up. So if you lag yourself just as you are about to pass through the death region, by the time you \"unlag\", you\'re past it and voila.

    I ran into it when I was farting around on a server with a buddy of mine. Took me a few tries to realize how I did it originally ;)

  • Lol fucking llamas, using timescale .2 and .5 lol...thats weak! I just beat xaero on nightmare in slow motion he couldn\'t hit me once, now that\'s funny. Sigh, I can\'t believe there is already lamers like you trying to make yourselves look good. Quite lame really, I thought you were good, now i know better. Btw, I did a whole demo in slow motion every kill with rockets BOO-YA, you and your hitscan weapons are no match for my HPB lag rocket predictions. Btw, the guy who did the Doh! Doh! Doh! connection interuppted cheat, explain that...
