hi there,
i have built a map just for fun with a little bhoping and long jumping.
there is one lj with 240 units block but at this place of the map it's quite impossible to get a good prestrafe. i have no idea why it's exactly there.
there is no difference to any other place in the map: no gravity change or sth, just block to block and in between (little lower though) a trigger_teleport
download map here
the place is the lj on the upper level to the pyramid looking block on the other side of the wall.
when i try this lj i never get more than ~260 pre...
once i try it on the ground level i have ~274 pre right away.

hope someone can figure it out...

little hint: you can get to the upper level easily by longjumping along the wall left from the stairway start (~240 units) and then hitting a hidden trigger_teleport
PS: you will need the basics.wad

Because thats highjump not longjump..

hows that a highjump?
how to create a highjump platform anyway?
i always thought you need a "gravity block" or sth like that...

Because that block is way too high from the ground (afaik), try to do a block under that longjump... I could take a picture later if you don't get what I mean.

^- After you've made a block on that red-lined thing, I guess you won't have highjump anymore. Try it!
(Made my bhop record on that map! 240 block! 8D)

aaah, now i get it.
so thats what a hj is all about?
didnt know the engine works that way.

ill create an invisible block there, that should work out fine.
thanks for your help.

btw: what do you think of this map? :D
its mostly just for fun and training.

Funny little map. Highjump is a jump which haves and edgefriction which destroys your prestrafe so you have to jump 12-13 units before the blocks end and then you won't get edgefriction. So like in that case, your 240 block would be 252~ lj.

alright, thank you for clearing that up :)

is a lj equally difficult to a hj at the same block?
--> 240 hj ~ 252 lj ?

If I understood you right lj is easy at hj block but you have to jump 12 units before blocks end and your longjump will be successful. Also you could do that longjump like 13 units smaller so then it would be 227 hj (~240 lj).
