strafe jump script

Couldn't find such a thing, but I did a little research and tried to make a script since I could not figure out how to strafe jump manually no matter how many demos I watched or how many descriptions I read. Somehow I was able to get this script to work, but I bet it could probably be tweaked to work better.
 

// Strafe Jump

set jump0 "+moveleft; +left; +moveup; wait; -left; wait; -moveup; wait; -moveleft; set sjump vstr jump1"

set jump1 "+moveright; +right; +moveup; wait; -right; wait; -moveup; wait; -moveright; set sjump vstr jump0"

set sjump "vstr jump0"

bind MOUSE2 "vstr sjump"

 

Newbies - put this in a file called C:\Program Files\Quake III Arena\baseq3\autoexec.cfg, then copy the file to any mods you have (C:\Program Files\Quake III Arena\beryllium, instagib, CTF, etc..). Also, make sure the last character in the file is an end-of-line.

If anyone is able to improve upon this, please repost your changes. Thanks.

What is the point of using a script to perform a skill?????????  Why don't you get an aimbot aswell???? JESUS

There is nothing wrong with using aliases. They are part of the game, and an
excepted practise. There's no reason to critisise those who use them.

True. But I'm amazed at this. Can't strafe jump? WTF?
Its the easiest thing to do!

Hold down two keys (ie left+fwd) and jump, alternating the strafe key and
sweeping the mouse gently.

FFS, its the easiest thing to do. I gobsmacked why he cant do it . . .

What is the point - you will never learn how to play properly if you use
these because you can't do something - like a rocket jump or strafe jump.
If you can't do it learn it or use different techniques to play

By creating a very sofisticated script and sharing it with the rest of this
community "the" shows signs of a skill you definitely lack - brains. You are
obviously pure muscles and perhaps good at it but I bet "the" and his likes,
by using their brains and thus tactics, kick your ass over and over again.
Why don't *you* start sharing some of your "superior" expertise instead of
flaming people who are creative enough to help other Quakers develop?

Before you start calling me stupid or whatever - I am entitled to an
opinion. I think using scripts to do things that you are not skillful
enough to do is the same as cheating. Whats the difference between a script
that allows you to do things you can't & a bot. NOTHING.

since I used a zoom toggle script as the template.

the Brittish saying that Americans did night fight proper in the Revolution,
please tell me you are not Brittish. I'll admit that this is similar to
rocket jump script, but seriously, how many people are not able to rocket
jump after about 2 attempts?

no one was taking away your right to an opinion, just expalining how absurd
it is. Scripts and bots are 2 entirely different birds. I don't even know
what a bot, how to write one, or how to even use one. I have no interest in
not having to aim, but writing a macro to do something that is easily
described yet difficult to execute is something people including me were
asking for, so here it is.

OK - well we will agree to differ on this point. At least you have not
resorted to narrow minded insults to argue your point unlike pojken (i do
have a brain) I thought that NGs were about opinions as well as help - if
they were not they would be a bit dull.

Maybe you guys can help. I'm trying to write a script that will turn off my
aimbot while my circle-strafe bot is active. My rocketjump bot works, but
not with my girlfriend_go_away_im_playing bot. I need a script that will
switch all the bots on and off appropriately, as well as deactivating
everyone else's frag_the_easy_kill bot...

Before you scream and shout at me, let me say that I am a reasonably
experienced player and can rocket jump etc.
I have a question though... WTF is a strafe jump?

Aarg, I hear you say, he thinks he's experienced and he doesn't even know
what a strafe jump is. Yes, yes yes, but I've probably been doing it all
along, but under a different name. Go easy on me, OK?

humbly

Fair play to "the" for being able to right the script to get the job done,
but I'm with SilverCue on this one. IT'S CHEATING. Aimbot helps you aim
(cheating), auto strafe jump will help you to get away quicker or get to
quad/shield quicker with out using any acquired skill (cheating). I'm better
than average at q3a and have no idea if I can strafe jump or not (I never
bothered with rocket jump either) and still come out in the top 3 all the
time.
I wouldn't be pleased with a win if it wasn't all down to personal skill,
but if you can live with yourself and still feel that you've out played
someone then fair enough, each to there own.
I don't give a shit what people use to help them play (aimbot is a sin tho
and shouldn't be used) I'll beat 'em anyway :)

just thought I'd add my thoughts (at work and bored)

see you in the arena

rubbish. Aimbot - 2 types. Autoaim and autofire or both combined.

Autoaim aims for you - it does not help - it does it all for you.

Autoshoot fires automatically when enemy is in cross hair. this one you
have to aim but the fire is instant as soon as you get the enemy in x-hair.

Both combined you do no aiming and no firing. These are cheats.

scripts are not cheats -they are used by loads of gamers. I bet I can
strafe jump as good as any script can. I bet I can rj better than any
script can. id let ppl use scripts by purposely allowing the game to run
them. So how can they be cheats?

Do I use any? No. But thats my personal choice. If ppl wanna use scripts
then thats down to them. But like I said I'm bewildered why anyone would
wanna use a strafe script. But I'm gonna try it being that it's caused some
debate . . .

You have to be running forward for it to work, and you have to time
successive jumps correctly to get the distance increase. It might be
dependent on other settings like sensitivity as well, which is turned up
pretty high for me, but who knows. All I can tell you is that I can make all
sorts of jumps that I was never able to make before.

Sounds to me like you have to strafe jump to get the script to work...?

I've done all this "the". It still doesn't work. There might be a
miniscule amount of strafe but its so little it makes not difference. I can
do it quicker manually. See my demo on abgq.

And I added even another demo to that. Could you post a demo of you
strafejumping WITH your script over this distance 'the'?

Our demo's are on the Alt.Binaries.games.quake newsgroup
