interesting code from bg_pmove.c

x0n

From the q3 1.17 game source:

// ducking while falling doubles damage
if ( pm->ps->pm_flags & PMF_DUCKED ) {
delta *= 2;
}

Why in the name of naked shamblers would you duck in the air? It doesn't reduce your visible area, at least not to the extent to make it worthwhile?

Perhaps it was added in the name of added "realism" to the physics -- I wonder if world record long jumpers try their damndest to move sideways whilst jumping forward to get that extra bit of distance

Perhaps not.

This will mean certain DEATH for us all.

I don't know about you lot but I'm gonna start investing in canned goods and shotguns.

Hmm, after some real-life testing I can confirm from the intensive care unit in St. Vincents that crouching can indeed double your damage received when dropping from a 30 foot bridge onto tarmac. The first time round I only broke a leg. That Carmack fellow really is a stickler, isn't he?

Carmack : Tarmac!?!?

Actually, if you watch athletes off the blocks head-on, you can see they run with their legs pretty wide for acceleration (strafe-running?)

What the hell is this icon anyway?

BossArky

dunno, but it's not as cool as this one. I'm hungry.

It’s the Unreal Tournament symbol.

What language is that code in C/C++?

Answer to my own question – C

Missed the extension

If you try it out on T4, fall off the top shelf standing or crouced, you lose 10 health. Off the middle shelf you lose 0 when standing but 10 when crouched.
Odd.
