Ever wanted to try jumping with those pumpkin bombs? I found out it's really easy, and pretty damn fun too. No fancy server mods or anything.
Just start a local server by going to the
developer console, and load any jump map (any map really)...
map jump_4starters_a9
Once the map is loaded, type this in, which will make your right mouse button spawn a pumpkin where you're looking and immediately shoot it, creating sort of a rocket jump effect...
sv_cheats 1
hurtme -999999999
alias +pumpkin "ent_create tf_pumpkin_bomb; +attack; impulse 101"
alias -pumpkin "-attack"
bind mouse2 +pumpkin
Note: To undo the bind after you're done messing around with all this, the default for mouse2 is
bind mouse2 "+attack2"
I mostly like using scout with pistol or sniper with smg.
Some things to try make it more challenging/fun...
try not to touch the ground, and just "pogo" through all the jumps that you possibly can
use a slow reloading gun, and don't spam pumpkins
increase gravity (default 800)
sv_gravity 1200
turn on thirdperson (firstperson to switch back)
thirdperson
BONUS:Load up jump_annex_v2 and instead of making pumpkins, just bind a key to "hurtme -100" (smaller values blast you higher) and you get kind of a jet pack effect with just a small vertical boost, even in midair. Personally I like to use the Pyro with any flame thrower weapon (just for the flame effect), in third person using these commands:
sv_cheats 1
alias +jetpack "hurtme -100; ent_fire !self ignite; +attack"
alias -jetpack "-attack"
bind mouse2 +jetpack
sv_gravity 1000
I dunno why it work that way on annex...gotta decompile it to see what kind of craziness it's doing.
Anyway, I was just messing around and thought I'd share. BTW, nothing special is needed for this, just plain ol' stock TF2 install is fine.
