QL Movement Guide Series - Episode #1 - Circle Jumping 

Its not dead?

Same

@@swasho2939 :(:( HOLD ME.. Lol srsly tho it was great

There is no trick to make it consistenlty. It's just practice : )))))

Soldat Well I can't do it at all despite trying 50000 times :(.

TBasianeyes Basically there is a small extension of platform, you must use it and jump from it. The circle jump must be done with one solid motion. Stick to the wall but don't hug it. I've heard that there is a difference with jumps when you release/hold jump button after jump. Be sure jump button is not pressed when not needed. Can you do bridge to rail? Maybe wait to get better with overall movement skills.

Soldat I can do B2R and I can do the RA jump with a circle jump from the top but not when I come up the stairs. Somebody should build a practice map for this :).

TBasianeyes Hrmm... it is a pretty tough jump. You just need to make sure your movement is very smooth and that you aren't clunky with your directional buttons as well as your mouse movement. The whole circlejump process should be very swift. If you can get 500 UPS with a normal circle jump, see if you can do the same whilst making your circle jump smaller and smaller :)

+jump StARtR /cg_drawinputcmds 1

+PseudoAccurate This is definitely circle jumping, I'm not sure what you're describing. However, I can guarantee that this is a guide on how to CJ.

+ZLiveGaming Maybe the terminology we use in the Quake 2 community is different, or maybe I've just been mistaken all these years. I've called the movement I'm describing "circle jumping" because instead of straightening into a strafe jump you continue the mouse motion and it looks like, well, a circle. You eventually get to the point where you're aiming almost perpendicular to your direction of motion, but at that point you really can't continue straight anymore. It seems like the QL physics allow for it - although I notice when I change the game type to "Race" it no longer works - you're just pulled in the direction your mouse is aiming while in midair. I'm pretty sure you can make that bridge to rail jump on campgrounds just pressing forward and turning your mouse. I haven't verified that yet because I'm not that proficient at it, but I've gotten close enough to believe it's possible. Anyways, I appreciate your videos; please keep posting. Quake is a fantastic game.

+ZLiveGaming Have you watched the video? I guess you would call it "half--beat" strafing, so maybe nothing new for you after all.

The command is /cg_drawinputcmds 1 However, this only works for seeing your own key presses - you can't see others, e.g. when you spec them.

ZLiveGaming you can now!

Did you download it?

Hugo Hakvoort Of course. The problem is the map posted in this guide is not compatible with the current version of Quake Live, the old maps were encrypted and the new maps are not so, the new version of QL cannot read the encrypted maps.

mrkeefor Ah :/

mrkeefor Yep. Same problem here since the big update

+mrkeefor There is a new version that works.

Hard to tell without looking. Always important to maximise your speed on ground acceleration before jumping (getting to 400+ on floor) before you start a small turn in the air

ok

+Radian you have to look up the map on steam workshop, there you can subscribe for it and then enter by loading it in the console.. really wasn't that hard to find out though.. i'm into the game for roughly one and a half month now and even i already managed to put together my own huds, configs and stuff, so...

What map is this?
