Sorry i normally play marines and i wanted a change of scene so i decided to skulk and i saw every one else hopping around but when i tried it it didnt make any difference to my speed or anything. so was i doing it wrong? or had i just not noticeed a difference in speed or agility or something?

For one, it doesn't increase your agility at all. It makes you go faster....forward. And you were probably holding forward, which you shouldn't do. Strangely enough, that slows you down.

so i just tap space over and over without holding forward?

In NS, you have to hold crouch to bhop as skulk, to avoid sticking to the floor.

To bunnyhop, you have to understand the concept of the strafejump, which is holding a side-direction and jumping....a bunnyhop is a series of strafejumps, not a forward jump.

Youll need this. I use this and my mousewheel.

alias hop "+jump; wait; -jump; wait"
alias +jumps "hop;hop;hop; +jump; wait"
alias -jumps "-jump; wait;"

Shove it in your config.cfg then bind your jump key or mwheel to hop. It will give you 3 jumps when you order one so you don't have to get the timing split second.
For practice try putting ns_nothing on and bunny hopping around viaduct. Try turning the gravity off entirely to practice your strafing. Just by holding down lft or rgt and strafing the mouse you will see yourself accelerate in the air. Put the grav back on, but to 400 instead of 800. This will give you a little bit longer to press those keys before the next jump. Once you have the movements smooth put it back to 800 and just hop round from gen to via and back a few times.

When you bunnyhop be sure to hold crouch down, do not hold forward down, and alternate strafe keys in the direction you bhop.

Or you can keep it natural, like I do.

Old anti-scripting veterans unite!

100% of the time i don't miss

If you learn to bhop without scripts you get MUCH more flexibility and control. It's worth it.

There's an ns map out there... something like ns_bunnyhop. It's got ideal spots to practice and walls covered in instructions.

I know what a jump script does, as does everyone else. I also know what a mousewheel binding does. But my mousewheel is taken. (Ever spammed a negligent comm with "Need orders" to get a res node? 200 requests in two seconds, AW YEAH!)

In any case, I use my THUMB. AND NO SCRIPT. I don't do well, but I do have a bhop, and sometimes, it's nice to be able to say "I don't use any scripts."

Know what I mean?

don't bind triplejump to mousewheel, it spams jump way too much and gets backlogged

I bind 3jump to mouse3

Not made for NS, but easily adaptable.

I use mousewheel and a 3jump, I just do one click of the wheel.. I've noticed this helps me when I bunnyhop without a script.. cause I still only do one, nicely timed, click.

I'm not saying I'm just as good without the script, but a good 80% of my jumps are perfectly timed.

scripts are for the weak gamers, that are to lazy to play the game they it was intended?

when u downloaded ns, did it come with that script :? i think not....

Did it come with custom models and transparent minimaps with location names either?

Or how about a **** attitude.

Or you can just wiggle walk

This isn't about scripting/anti-scripting, guys. I'm as bad as the next guy about that, but JEEZ. Enough of the hostility. Everyone plays their own way, and does so to the best of their ability. Some people choose not to script, some people choose to. It's the same as hacking or not, but with less drama, and less people who care.

SO LAY OFF AND HELP THE POOR MAN BHOP!

holding forward when bhopping doesnt slow you down. you go the same speed if you bhop with forward key or without. just strafe jump left and right or you can "Glide"

gliding is strafe jumping one direction and then curving to the other direciton.

it really makes nodifference if you hold forward

the only reason you shouldnt hold forward, is to see if you can actually bunnyhop without it. if you start slowing down if you dont hold forward, then you arent timing your jumps correctly. its nice to not need forward, but strafe jumping is much more maneuverable than bunnyhopping.

No. After your initial jump where you "take off", release forward and dont hold it again. It DOES make a difference. If you say otherwise, read those manuals, think of it some, and then practice it.

i play TFC, the home of the bhopping skill, in STa 5on5 gold. i know what im talking about. IT does not matter if you use forward just dont hold it the whole time. since i have to use the spacebar for bhopping in natural selection, i prses forward and strafe key right before i jump, and then release the forward key after a fraction of asecond. Holding forward just makes it so you cant glide. it doesnt disable strafejumps.

If you actually know how to strafejump, holding forward makes no difference when you bhop. But i do see waht you mean. New players may not know how to strafejump, which would make them the normal speed, not a slower speed.

So can someone show me what to do with the mwheel piece?
Im not sure what to do.

Like, how do you put it in the config.cfg and then what to do after?

Im a n00b at this whole bunny hop thing.

Mousewheel isn't a script, it's a bind.

Play the game, pull down console, and type:

did anyone notcie that the guy who actually asked the question didnt reply in here for a single time since the topic was started...hmmmmm


wooops edit. he did reply once after the first answer but did he read the next 3 pages? it will remain a mystery
