================================================================ Title : QdQ velocity display v1.0 Filename : PROGS.DAT - Game data file. QDQVEL.TXT - This file. Author : Anthony Bailey Email Address : QdQ@PlanetQuake.com Description : This patch provides the user with information about how fast they are going. It includes a graphical bar display. It is intended for use when practising techniques to increase one's velocity by zigzagging or bunny-hopping. Installation : Unzip, put the PROGS.DAT in a new games directory in your main Quake directory, and start Quake with the "-game" command-line option. It's an absolutely standard patch. Instructions : The patch displays the follow information: Velocity vector: this is the x,y,z components of your velocity. Fwd: This is your horizontal (xy) velocity relative to the direction in which you are facing. i.e. your forward velocity. Strafe: This is your horizontal velocity perpendicular to the forward velocity. Total: This is your total horizontal velocity. The graphical bar on the next line represents the forward velocity given above. The further you can push it to the right, the faster you are going. The left-hand side of the bar is 260 or less. The bump on the bar represents 320, which is the value of SV_MAXSPEED. Only running tricks will get your velocity much above this. The right-hand side of the bar is 420 or more. If you can push your velocity anywhere near 400 then you are doing very well indeed! Angle: This is the angle at which you are facing. Vel: This is the angle in which you are headed. Strafing to one side causes this to be different from the facing angle. Rel: This is the difference between the two angles above. Read more about techniques for running fast at .
