Hmm, wonder why there's no replies. Anyway, I think this is a great successor to the almighty midair mode of QuakeWorld, but there's still quite a few bugs in it :)

On the mjiikair1 map, you can get a midair score if you shoot a rocket on someone that's only a few pixels over the upper ledge, so I guess the "height counter" compares with the height from the lowest point of the map?

And I wonder why people write their signature at the bottom of a post on this site.

I also wonder. Like we don't get it's them when it says By <nick> in the beginning.

in this case though, the two names are spelled differently...

because he knows ppl only read half of the posts, he's taking precautions by writing his nick at the top AND the bottom.

And I wonder why his registered name is with Ks while his signature is with Cs.

And i wonder why buttered toast always lands butter side down.

Nice mod btw, although it might be worth slowing the rockets down slightly so the game serves as a more applicable training method for regular Quake 3.

Was thinking the same. Same rocket speed would be better :)

Put butter on both sides of your toasts. Then, you'll always have a 'good' side left when your toast falls down.

muprhy's law ... this & the butter side is slightly heavier so gravity wins most of the time :p

Wrong. If you drop your toast it is almost always the same height it falls down. While falling down that height your toast rotates with a certain speed so that it falls on the 'butter' side - for that height. If you drop it from a different height, it might land on another side. However, it's still a bit random, you can't predict it 100% as not all toasts fall the same way.

- tested by a German smartass television show -

normal physics would tell us that it rotates faster when flipping over to the buttered side as it IS heavier, hence it stays longer falling down with the buttered side to the floor be4 it flips over again. (Gravity is pulling the heavy side faster to the ground before reversed gravity can pull it back up)


So thats why you get more chance that the buttered side will drop on to the ground , whatever height is involved. Yes its a matter of luck , but luck is always a combination of things :D


*tested by smartass unholy*

And if you attatch your buttered sandwiches to the back of a cat, it will never land with the butter down since cats always land on their feet.

start collecting hairballs then , you can make a toast on weels !

what if you were to stick the non butter side to a cats feet so the butter side is facing outwards and then drop it? surely it will just spin in midair forever because neither can land and then the universe will proceed to collapse in on itself.

Its not the easiest way to hit someone in Q3 that he actually FLIES into the air like in QW. The rockets are too slow/splashdamage too low, or something. In q3 it requires a direct hit to the feet, in qw you just need to look in his direction and he'll go flyin off :)

"YOU WIN AGAIN GRAVITY!"

futurama kicks ass :D

fun :d

there is a midair-mode integrated into Spiterbot, g_midair 1, with several other commands like midair_splash for splashdamage midair. also there's a rocketspeed-command, can't remember what it is tho.. but playing around with the console in spiterbot is always fun :)

cc's or kk's, well, what can i say I'm a variable man ;)

about the rocketspeed. we are planning to reduce it a bit and shorten the reload time instead. much work is put into balancing these things.

Thing is we are no hardcore coders, we're a few guys playing Quake3 wanted to see this happend. We are working on more versions and there will be more maps etc so check our page (or irc) once in a while if you liked it.

Just make it the same as in regular Q3 :)
That'd be great for training. Nothing beats a good RL airgib, other than a GL airgib.

Add a switch for rocketspeed
g_rocketspeed
0 default vq3 speed (800 ups)
1 cpm speed (1000 ups I think)
2 mikkoloo speed (whatever it is but it seems faster than 1000)

You're doing a good job. Is this your first mod? and if so where did you learn the basics?

thanks :) yes this is my (i do the programming) first mod.
well i have some basic knowlegde in C, and that's what Q3 gamecode (the one you make mods of) is based on. I started messing around with it and then i realized i was able to do some crazy stuff with it ;) this is the result.

it's fun to see some foreign players adept the mod! until now it's basically just been swedes playing between "pickup-games" or ppls just tired of 1v1 or tdm.

ya i played with it a little a while back

I think the most i ever did was make the rockets to backwards LOL :P

I wanted to get back in it and actualy try some more stuff...

heh this is mad fun, I've been playing it with just a bot, they're easy to cheese but it's still fun as hell lol

is there a way to create a listen server so you can play a bot?

Just go to the mod, create, then /map q3mj1/2/3

nvm i got it :D

great fun, just played it for 40 mins solid on a server :)

midair isnt as good without air control but gw none the less

Let's hope arqon finally adds midair mode to CPMA.

arQ hates midair :( but theres always hope :)

thats the only reason he won't implent it to cpma.


btw, there is already a midair for q3, called midair, with cpm physics....

who cares wot arQ thinks, he should consider the communitee :/

Funny to play... played it on endifacid as well, was nice to play here :)
Get it here

funny mod... too bad there are about 4 or 5 Q3 midair mods, but none really customizable and using "today's standards" (particularly enemymodels & colors, I just can't play something that looks like baseq3 anymore)

never never never never never EVER
compare something like this to qw midair.
ever.

oh no how foolish, it's NOTHING like it.... my bad.. *sarc*
ok what can i say, love it or leave it.

constructive feedback on the mod is still welcome.

well ok i heard there are 4-5 mods out there. funny thing we searched the internet and found a russian one with broken link. nvm that, we are still just some pals doing our own thing. we want others to have some fun too, that's why we're releasing it, not to get shit from ppl "knowing better". Btw I don't like cpma...

Who does? =>

sorry if you take great offense, but get serious, this is nothing like the qw version. and why are you trying to throw cpma into this....

he's throwing CPMA into this hoping you would hit it mid-air.

im referring to his comment, unless you understood that and are just making a joke ;o

cpma? cause many people seems to equal midair with promode or qw physics. I personally don't like that psysics and will not implement it. It was not a reply to you gelleshak, it was someone above.

seems like some people take this way to serious. we'd just thought some ppl might like it, and i know many ppl do. I know i'm not a professional coder. thing is i bet even if this mod would get 90% like the qw mod you'd still think it was some kind of offence to the qw mod. it's sacred and nothing can touch it ever? (ok mine might not) but ok who ought to get real?

i'm glad every american posted in here like it ;-)

i just dont like how you refer to it as having "much alike the qw mod midair", when its nothing like it, heh

depends of what you look at i suppose. if it comes to goals of the mod they ARE much alike, if you say they're not that will just make you look stupid. i'd like to ask neutral people about stuff like this tho, some are just to emotional, even when it comes to a computergame obviously.

w00000000t big time!

WOW awsome!!!! i'll start playing stright away when i get home!!! :DDDD

lol i played this dude he was on the ground all the time, took my fun away

wow, nice job!
