How can i avoid taking damage from the rockets i fire myself?
Is it console settings or do I need some kind of mod?

greets,

Start Q3, hit your tilde key (the little squiggly one above tab, type in
/devmap q3dm2 or whatever map you want. Load the map and type in /god in
your console. You can also type /give all and you will have all weapons and
you can practice your rocket jump. You can also use ra3 and set it to
practice mode. Hope this helps.

I want to play with my friend, and we would like to play
the standard q3 maps, but rocketjumps should be "free",
just like in clan arena or ra3.

Just use OSP (the definitive CA mod, IMO)
www.orangesmoothie.org/beta.html

Version 0.99g may or may not be released tonight, but 99f will do what you
want no problem.

In your baseq3 folder create a new folder called autoexec.cfg

Cut&Paste the following and shazam you can jump

set rj "vstr +rj; wait; wait; vstr -rj"
set +rj "cl_pitchspeed 5000;+lookdown;wait;wait;+attack;+moveup"
set -rj "cl_pitchspeed 140;-lookdown;-attack;-moveup;centerview"
set rjump "cl_pitchspeed
9999;+lookdown;wait;+attack;+moveup;wait;wait;-attack;-moveup;-lookdown;cl_p
itchspeed 140;wait;wait;centerview"
bind JOY3 "vstr rjump"


There is a cost in health, so if you don't have any armor then unless your
rjumping up on to some health you may not survive the landing with a health
of 83 or so. I'll give you an example:

MAP: Q3DM14 a.k.a. Grim Dungeons.

GOAL: Acquire the BFG and survive to go hunting.

A lot of the time when I first spawn in at the beginng of the game, it's
usually at or near the RPG which of coarse I go after first. Then I run to
the teleporter powerup because it spawns immediately and the golden armor
does not. By the time it takes you get the rockets and the teleporter you
now have to make a decision, (a)chance you can make it over to the armor
that just appeared over on the otherside of the pit; or(b) drop down through
the slot and try to get the BFG?

I prefer (b) because if I get control of the BFG fast I'm almost guaranteed
control of the early stages. Your opponents also have this goal too so
you've got to get across to safety quickly and possibly get the golden armor
too. The Rocket and/or BFG jump is very handy. If your relatively
coordinated you can also get of some shots at the pesky snipers up on the
Railgun platform. This would also be a good time to squeeze off a shot at
the guy just now running in the entrance way.

Experiment with it if you wish

Sigh. Of course it is - a clientside mod with no RJ damage isn't possible.
Since he just wants to play with his friend it seems a pretty safe bet that
they'll be running their own server, even if it's just a listen one...

Isn't it possible to play RA3 with the Quake3 DM maps? I have seen the odd
RA3 server running DM6..I swear it.

Yep, we are running our own server. I tried loading the osp
mod, but no effect on rocket jumping! Any ideas?

Yes... You can vote any map that is on the server. We played Overkill on
PITs RA3 the other day.

The one thing that occurs to me is that Floyd may want to play regular DM
where you pick up items etc, except without self damage.

You can't, unless you're plaing a mod like Rocket Arena. Common sense tells
you that if you shoot a rocket at your feet, it's going to hurt no matter
what, unless the mod permits it.

Do you mind!!! It's a computer game, don't talk about common sense.
Anyway i downloaded the newest version of the osp mod, and
set match_hurtself to 0. I am happy now, thanks for replying.

Do I mind? I guess not since you are happy now....and I guess that's all
that counts to everyone here right?

I love when we all spend our time trying to help people and they come off
with an ungrateful, rude response like that.

I think that was rconed, though. Could be wrong, but that's my
understanding.
