How Do You Set This As A Bind????????????????????

look closer at your post :]

bind h +rj // change "h" to the key you would like to perform this action

[E]s-Doom]

i know but can u give me some easier instructions because im nub

Create an autoexec.cfg (just a text file) in the folder where you config is:

If this is Qrack, create it in c:\quake\qrack\autoexec.cfg with that as the contents.

If this is DarkPlaces or ProQuake, create it in c:\quake\id1\autoexec.cfg

I personally would either change the "h" to the key you want OR remove the line reading ...

"bind h +rj // change "h" to the key you would like to perform this action"

... and just type this in the console after starting Quake the next time: bind <your key> +rj

I will add, it is almost just as easy to learn to rocket jump. What you can do is connect to rage.quakeone.com:26005 and type AIRSHOT in the console (which initiates a free for all style, unlimited ammo + no self damage mode) and start practicing pressing jump and shooting at the same time.

i tried that but it crashed the game and i had to reinstall it because the textures got messed up =(

[Baker]

Skip to that 2nd paragraph I wrote then and learn to rocket jump manually.

Players who use RJ scripts get made fun of by other players if you do that on a server

I wrote that script back in 2002 or so, it does works flawlessly but is mostly in the library for hopelessly bad Quake players *cough* the ones that have never once played a game outside the Shmack server */cough* and you aren't one of those

i have a really big problem with timing but i can get it most of the time... also im lazy

[Canadian*Sniper]

Timing is easy. Press both buttons at the same time

[Lardarse]

It helps if the buttons are right next to each other. My controls are setup so that I can RJ with just 1 finger.

[PapaSmurf]

Lardarse, what two buttons are those?

MOUSE1 (shoot) and MOUSE3 (jump)

I don't mean to Hijack this thread, but since it's related, I didn't want to start a new thread.

Question:
I have an optical mouse, and I've read that skillful rocket jumps are nearly impossible because of how the mouse is set up. Will using an optical mouse hinder my Rocket Jumping attempts?

[Baker]

I'd guess that at least 50% of players (it could very well be higher) are using an optical mouse.

I use an optical mouse. I don't have any problems rocket jumping.

[Alc]

Is anyone not on an optical mouse these days? Why would anyone still be on a ball mouse, surely even the Razer ball mice are outclassed today's laser mice?

If you search for "optical" (Ctrl-F 'Optical') you'll see what I was talking about. There are numerous negative opinions on optical mice and rocket jumping. : s
