Need bringing up to date...

Hey guys,

I have been a member on here for many years. I was mainly active in the scene around the time of Brian, Zhady, ndR etc.

I have since for the last 3 years been starting a business/other commitments hence not even opening up Steam in all that time.

Over the xmas hols i've dug CS back out and in particular KZ, its nice to see this site is still going strong and there is plenty of fresh new tallented jumpers!

I have a few questions which i would be very intregued to know the answers;

1) When i left 255 units was the lj world rec.. now it is only (only lol) 257. Has LJ finally reached its limits? Will 260 ever be achieved?

2) What is KZMOD? has somebody on here developed it completely from scratch? If so why?

3) I saw a post on steam saying 'Save KZ!!' from what i could gather there is/was some update on the way that would some how kill kz?

4) This is the question i am probably most intregued by..

Just before i left everyone wanted to know what the 'Edark' jump was.. apparently it was almost limitless! did this ever become public?

Thanks you guys for any answers you have, any other oldschool jumpers i would be interested in your perspective of the evolution of KZ :D

Isn't edark jump called dcj?If so,yes it became public.Not limitless,though.Rec is 273 bl.I think someone has done 275 bl,but i'm not sure how legit it is.

Hey sjR,
I'm glad to see some oldschooler back, and also glad you associate my nickname with some sort of "kz era" :-)

1) 258 will, in my opinion, be the humanly possible limit.
2) KZMOD has been developed for several years by Soulfather, it's a sourcemod so I believe it was completely developed from scratch, as I'm not the most active member right now, people will correct me if I'm wrong!
3) The 'Save kz' thing was done when Valve updated CS and added some sort of harsher slowdown when the CS model touched the ground, which was almost killing bhopping and so on.
4) The eDark jump was just a rumor as far as I remember, maybe a real theory about the engine but nothing doable by a human :-)

If you've got any more question, shoot.
Ah and welcome back once again.

Chosen made a video back when this happend.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ok9Ydhn_vlQ
And alot people posted this on their youtube channel. And our message reached developers.. they decided to let 1.6 be untouched.. so to speak.

Who invented or discovered first Kreedz, and Hide-n-Seek?

1) My perception of the answer to this question is; 260 is very likely possible, all you need is more strafes. airaccel 10 gives you the option to gain speed only by strafing and moving the mouse at a certain limit of speed. Being able to maximize that with very short strafes and good sync. 260 is very possible

2) KZMOD Is a mod that was getting started numerous years ago, read news about it back when I was active. It is a mod for steam. Jumping and MUCH more. Presents some new features to kz, with a lot of different maps, styles, and so on. Not an expert on this subject but, I think faker was a part of it?

3) No Idea?

4) eDark jump is something I remember being discussed, do not remember what it is.. or if it was something that was public or not.

The evolution of kz is amazing! Back when I started, people barely longjumped. The maps were so "easy" you could clear 75% of them with W-strafe. And most people were even ducking while strafing.
Noone had figured out the cj, dcj, wj, nothing like that. Just regular longjumps, and speedjumping was pretty much just jumping so you would just land on the next block because you would lose speed, noone double-ducked (until the end of my "career") after landing a jump. People have become crazy good at this game. And it is a real beauty to watch!

Btw if you read this, does Kimo still play??

Just about the edark jump 2, it's a real thing, but this is stupid to even try to do it. This is more like an quake engine joke. So we can forget about it, it's useless.

Ahh RyderC, your Avatar is as crazy as ever :P

There was an interview with eDark just some weeks ago. Look for it on the news page. The fact eDark is staying silent about this monster technique is kind of a bitch move imo. He did not confirm this technique, neither proved numB wrong. When this discussion started, this so called "untouchable" Kreedz specialist didn't join for a single statement, yet he was more related to it than anyone else. Also, if you look through the thread you will notice NumB is nothing but an attention whore. He claimed this jump would be the "death of Kreedzing", but why did he mention it in the first place? Everybody became curious and wanted to know how it works. Either he made a big joke or he's really stupid if he couldn't predict that. All in all this whole hype about this mysterious jump seemed like a big joke, a game these two hackers wanted to play with us.

If this jump actually exists, I think NumB just discovered this bug in theory, but never could execute it in the game.
