is the fall damage too high in WQ?

[M.R.]

i was gun slingin' in wq_train and i notcied something funny- the archtecture lends to falling and taking massive damage from relativley safe heights. it seemed everytime i stepped off a train car i got stuck with 64 remaining hit points. Moreover, i'm trying to play cowboy and i can't even leep from train car to train car, wtf, aren't the characters in this cgame supposed to seem heroic? i coul fall to my death in real life!!

But seriously those are my two minor complaints, and i've had years of enjoyment from WQ and am very happy to see a budding community once again.

To avoid fall when dropping from medium heights, just crouch before you land. And if you fall off the train, you're dead. You can jump between roofs of cars of similar height if you start running a few feet before you jump, to pick up speed. You obviously can't pull yourself up by your arms to get on a roof, but that's not very common in q3 based mods, since vanilla q3 doesn't support it. At least we have ladders. If you get stuck on train, it could be a bug, but I've never seen that.

It might be that the falling damage is a bit high. It's ok if you remember to crouch. But I then again, I don't think you should be required to press a button for something that would be a reflex in real life. So you may have a point there.


And welcome back in the community, I'm looking forward to pwn you sometime.

touche! the crouching thing is neat, and it does indeed negate my request for decreased fall damage.

What Torhu said. Good to see you back with wq3 and on the forums M.R.
