I wrote this for anyone who is curious about the mechanics of air strafing, inspired by a similar guide to strafe jumping in Quake a saw once.

It basically just looks at the physics and math behind air strafing. It's not really a guide, but some of you may find it interesting.

nice work

and interesting, thats like nearly 100% the same as: http://www.funender.com/quake/articles/

got some different diagrams though, so nice there, but i already knew all of this... but still nice for others ^^

Yes, this is what inspired me. The "rules" that TF2 uses are the same as Quake, but the constants are completely different.

Just call me trey
Skimmed through most of it because it's obvious to me, but it looks like you did a very thorough job

One thing I noticed at the end though is how you said bhopping is barely possible? I would consider it more possible than bouncing, both require frame-perfect actions but bounces require specific velocities whilst bhopping does not. Although, you wouldn't chain as many bounces together as you would bhops, so I guess the latter is technically more difficult

That's pretty cool. Can you explain what changing the (now-defunct) cvar sv_airaccelerate does to the equations?

I'm not sure, but my guess is that air acceleration = sv_airaccelerate * max ground speed. In my research I found that air acceleration was 10 * max ground speed, and as I recall sv_airaccelerate is 10, so this makes sense. But it's only a guess.
