Bunnyhoping @ over 500 vel? not as hard as it seems...

So, I was looking at some tutorials for bhoping in CSS, and they gave me some tips on server settings that would help a little. they said that having a tick rate of 100 and setting sv_maxupdaterate 100 would improve your bhop. Now all I did was start a tickrate 100 server and started up a bunnyhoping practice flat map, that's basically a big box I made. ( you can have the map if you want just pm me. ) and I did not bother to change the maxupdaterate.

I used mousewheelup and down for jump, and mouse5 for crouch ( because my finger got tired of switching from shift to ctrl all the time )

after almost an hour of bhopen around I got used to the amount of air control needed to gain speed at a high vel. eventually ( after about 30 hops) I was able to pull off around 640 vel with all default settings before I fucked up a jump and came to a stop. ( AND YES ON DEMO! ) and if you don't feel like downloading the demo and map you will see it in my movement vid that's gana show up in the next week or so...

So if anyone is interested you can pm me, and I will upload the demo + map for ya.

now before you call H4X! I seriously encourage you to try for yourself. And remember it will take a wile but you will get it.

remember: SLOW SMOOTH MOUSE MOVEMENTS!


and even if you don't make it, this will improve your movement greatly, I can now ( on good days ) bhop at 500 vel on any server without even thinking just because of the mouse movement practiced.

How do you change tickrate of servers?

I know Stinky made a demo of himself maintaining 500 constantly, damn too bad i don't have the demo anymore or i would upload.

I have crouch binded to mouse5 also but i use mwheeldown instead of up, been using that set up for about a year now and works pretty good.

what it said to do in the CSS tutorial is put

-tickrate 100

in the launch options when you right click a game in the steam games browser.

now.. I'm not really sure if this works for hl2dm as well so this could have been just the normal 66.

You have to have something separate in Windows to allow the 100 tick I believe. So you might not have been at a true 100 tick.

create a shortcut to srcds.exe and add -tickrate 100 along with any other paramaters and run windows media player in the background, it doesnt have toplay anything just be open. I tried this earlier without WMP running and was gertting 64FPS when i did stats in console and also cl_updaterate in netgraph, as soon as i opened WMP it shot up to 256FPS in rcon stats and 100 updaterate.

Sadistical has gotten bhop over 500 (he claims he never gets that high normally) on my pub which is 66 tick and set for maxupdaterate 100. A few people have said the server seems fast. All other rates settings are CAL.

Awesome. that would be cool if it was just 66 ( or what is the def, tickrate when you start a server? )

YOU GUYS SHOULD CONSULT STINKY, HE WAS THE FASTEST PERSON EVER EVEN FASTER THEN ALL THE GREATS PUT TOGETHER. invx tells me this all the time so yea take it from the man himself.

Regular servers: 66

Dedicated servers: 33

OBE Dedicated servers: 66

To set it to 100 you need to set -tickrate 100 and +set fps_max 600

Yup true story.Its not hard at all if people would strafe jump correctly instead of doing circles, sideways, slantways, S like turns, theyd be going over 500 or around it constantly and you dont gotta change ur rates to do it

remember: SLOW SMOOTH MOUSE MOVEMENTS!

aaammm... so whats is your mouse, win and game sens settings.. ?

Its true though. Other people and myself have mentioned that. If nothing else, your maps feel smoother, but it has to be the settings or something...

Having updaterate of 100 on a 66tick server should make no difference you still only receive 66 updates per second. Its probably jsut good maintainance of the server liek regular restarts, cleaning out unwanted files and it not being overloaded.
I find certain maps are "faster" than others meaning its easier to pickup and maintain that speed.
