General Discussion / What's a jump map that you think will never be Flawlessed?

« on: October 08, 2013, 06:19:47 PM »

I know technically ANY map can be flawlessed...but is there one in particular that stands out as one that you feel is almost impossible?

General Discussion / Website with all/most jump maps?

« on: May 13, 2013, 04:14:20 PM »

I recently have been having problems with TF2 running and starting, so out of anger I deleted my entire TF2 folder and reinstalled...and forgot to back up my jump maps....=(

Most maps on jumpit auto download but a lot actually don't, so anyone know of any place I can just mass download them all? or at least the more popular ones?

Free handjob and a beer to whoever zip files their jump maps and uploads them for me.

Jump Videos / Jump videos I want to see? Backwards runs.

« on: December 03, 2012, 10:42:20 PM »

Don't know if this has been done before, if it can be done, or if anyone gives a shit....but I think it would be neat to see runs of maps backwards.  From end to beginning.  I think it would be quite the challenge and offer some different kinds of videos instead of the same map runs/speed shots we are used to.

I would love to attempt this but I suck too much at jumping to even complete a map, let alone complete it again backwards.  Anyways, I know there are some people here that are plenty good enough to do it, so I think it would be pretty neat to see them do it/attempt it.

So I went to change my password, I try to change my passowords semi often, and for some reason all the writing on the forums is in chinese.  Not topic names or what people actually write, but everything else is chinese.

Any idea wtf I did? lol

General Discussion / viewmodel_fov

« on: March 06, 2012, 08:26:49 PM »

So I download every jump video I pretty much come across (good for learning and I just enjoy watching them) and I notice that pretty much everyone uses different viewmodel values.  I personally use 93...which from the looks of it seems to be much higher then most peoples.  For me, 93 seems to help me with wall jumps better, it seems I am able to place my rocket better.  It also seems to help me with speed shots.

So, I am just curious what values you all used for your viewmodel?  Also does it help your RJing at all?  I also sometimes notice it differ from video to video of the same jumper, so I am just curious what people use and why.

Jump Help / Downclimbing into a pogo

« on: December 05, 2011, 06:19:26 PM »

I cannot do this for the life of me, I maybe managed to do it twice and it was surely by dumb luck.  I watched so many videos of raiin and wonderland and <insert another pro jumper here> and try to copy what they do but I just can't...does anyone have any tips or is it one of those things that I will just need to keep practicing at? because it seems like I am getting nowhere with it.

General Discussion / Script to jump alone

« on: August 29, 2011, 07:31:34 PM »

Anyone got the script that lets you run jump maps over a lan for some practice? I think I found it on these forums...I forget, I tried a forum search but didn't find it, checked stickies etc...

So, if anyone has that script that would be sexy.  Also maybe make a sticky thread detailing how people can jump by themselves for some practice.

Other Games / As a previous WoW player...

« on: March 22, 2011, 02:57:13 PM »

...should I get RIFT? do a lot of people here play it?  I know I am not very well known here, but I don't know anyone that plays RIFT so would be nice to have SOMEONE to talk to =P.

I hear its a WoW clone...but WoW is an DAoC clone, DAoC is an EverQuest clone...I really hate the "clone" excuse when it comes to MMO's lol, they will always share many similarities no matter what.

Anyways, do you think its worth trying out?

General Discussion / How did you ultimately get into jumping?

« on: March 21, 2011, 12:00:17 PM »

I used to play WoW, and I finally quit a few weeks ago because Cataclysm bored the living piss out of me (yet it was still very hard for me to quit...how pathetic).  Anyways, I have been playing TF2 for quite some time, mostly as a means of curing my boredom in between WoW sessions.  But I am the kind of guy that plays a handful of games, but needs one to be his "main" and since WoW was gone, I chose TF2.

A good friend of mine who I used to play another game with years ago, but I still keep in touch with, is one of the top competitive demo men in Europe.  So I wanted to try to pick his brain a bit and maybe get to a point where I could compete in TF2.  I know I would start off in a noob league/division at first, which is fine, I just enjoy playing the game.

He then asked if I knew how to wall jump...I said "Uh...I think so...?".  Come to find out, I didn't know dick about rocket jumping.  I could do height jumps (who can't) and thought that was the end of it, I only needed to know how to do that...man was I wrong.

He then explained to me about the world of "jumping" and told me about jump_pagoda (it was the only jump map he knew of off the top of his head).  I went to youtube and typed it in and watched Wonderland's video of his flawless run and was amazed at how complex RJing could be.  So I downloaded, loaded it up, was so ready to tackle my first jump map...I couldn't even get onto the first platform (didn't fully know how to wall climb) and thought to myself "Ok I need to learn to do this shit".

Watched some more Wonderland/tutorial videos, downloaded a map that I read was "great for noob practice" (forget the name tbh...adventure maybe?) and started learning.  I was always into "trick" aspects of source games for years.  Surf maps, climb maps, bhop maps etc, so naturally I was instantly sucked into the word of jumping.

So, I got back into TF2 rather heavily to try to get good enough to compete at whatever level, and ended up getting addicted to jumping lol.

So, how did you all ultimately end up learning/trying/getting addicted to jumping?
