true stifu. the reason y i didnt play defrag online was that when i was back in college, which was when i started playing q3 seriously, we could play on the lan but not on the net. firewall and stuff. but as for scripts, heh u know what i feel about them.

ill probably start defragging online after i build my computer next month and get a better net connection. maybe we could do it together.

as for cpm vs vq3 he. i know what ur saying. used to feel the same way but then i started playing more promode and now i cant stand vq3. feels like im trying to move through mud compared to the smooth flow of promode. its a personal thing tho.

edit: i learnt defrag the hard way. and thats the best way i think. spent a day trying to get across the easiest strafe pads in 1337hj. then progressed to other maps. had to figure it out entirely on my own after seeing some demos. tho dan did explain to me how to move in cpm physics and i did read his tutorial and i did pick up cpm strafing fairly fast but wouldnt have happened if i didnt have a strafing background. so if ur a total beginner to strafing better do it by yourself.

Ye... I learned it with the built in accelerationmeter. I still use it because it's just handy sometimes on really hard strafes for example. I think I know that Dan u r talking about. Do you mean THE defrag Dan or any other Dan from e+?

I think he's talking about Ti*DaN, American CPMA player.

Woah, I was wondering where these hits were coming from on my website, and then I stumbled over these forums

Hey guys! What's up ratsalad and wonko?

It's true that I wrote my tutorial in more of a 'Do it now, understand later' state of mind. Why? Because I brought many of my friends to CPMa, and I was getting tired of explaining to each of them how to move properly. So I decided to write this tutorial in the exact same way I would teach it normally, using speech via VOIP.

That second tutorial is pretty good at explaining physics, but just for the "strafejumping" (airstrafing in my tutorial). Also, if you throw this tutorial to a new player, I am pretty sure he'd be like "WTF?".

As I said, I wrote this tutorial mainly for my friends, to give them a good base to start from. But since the job was done, I decided I might as well put it online to help fellow players.

Anyways, I'd be glad to add stuff to my tutorial (and maybe link to the second, more technical explanation, and other tutorials) if I actually see some demand

Peace~

Hehehe. CPM tricking is awesome.

On that thought, I think I'm going to go and record a demo of a few tricks in the popular maps.. Something to add to my tuto.

I used to play defrag some years ago because I could not play online quake and I did not have other games installed on my pc .At the beggining I found it so damn strange and I couldn't even complete a single map.But I got better and I made some demos ,some really cool ones even though i did not make world record.

Thanks to defrag I learnt how to strafe and its importance I believe this mod shows the greatness of quake's nature and physics because it is the only game with all these tricks
