your fps is too high

try capping your fps to <40 or create an alias to do this....

 

[old.UltimatePlayer]

Maybe I'm kinda newbie anyway...
how do u set the fps or how do u make an alias??
(usually play on heat.. have played for about 1/2-1 year..)

No, no, you don't need a specific fps to go OUT of the window afaik. All you need to do, walk up to the window, crouch, aim the grapple at the first row of lights on the ceiling outside, grapple, and away you go!

well graZe.. belive me... I tried for hours and hours to pop out of that window but i just couldn't.. until I found on a homepage how to set the fps.. and I've tested what the limit is and the limit for popping out is 42 fps...
BUT F*CK THAT...

[old.[FA]ALI-G]

that didnt make sense did it grapple at the light and soon as u grapple look down

 

[old.UltimatePlayer]

well u don't have to reply anymore on how I should grapple cuz I already knew how to when I posted my last message..

This is an exploit-kinda-thing based on the engine updating a bit slowly (hence the need to cap your fps).

I think the maximum you can do it with varies from machine to machine, but one thing is certain, the lower your fps, the further out into the room you can grapple.

Quick and dirty low-fps-when-crouching bind (from memory, hope it works)..

alias +crouch "+movedown; set oldfps $cl_maxfps; set cl_maxfps 15"
alias -crouch "-movedown; set cl_maxfps $oldfps"
bind space +crouch

Now getting in .. that's the real trick ..

I've not seen it for a while - but a while back people were grappling INTO the window !, sneeking into the base before you knew it !!!, Dunno how !!

 

[old.SimbobX]

There are two ways for getting in through the window .. one uses the same exploit as leaving, and one uses a teammate to help:

If you grapple to the lower bar in just the right place, a teammate can stand on your head, crouch and crawl through the window.

If you get everything just right (including your fps .. very very important to have the right number) you can stand on the lip of the platform, grapple up to the top of the window and in. It's the same exploit (basically your fps have to be so low there's no time for the game to stand the model up before you're through the window) as grappling out, but much harder to do.

So .. what is that magic fps number? .. well .. that'd be telling now, wouldn't it?

Here's a tiny demo (9kb zipped) showing getting in and out:

SAS's Q2CTF guide (i think) should give all the info on getting in and out of the RG window. Have a poke around www.barrysworld.com/guides which should give you demos and the binds you need to set up.
