cube2 fork with quake like strafe-jumping (air acceleration) mechanics

Implementation

Quake 3 style circle walk and strafe jumping bonus implemented within the main physics routine for updating the velocities, based on this commit.

  float nostrafebonus = pl->move && !pl->strafe ? 1.3f : 1.0f;
  float fallslidebonus = pl->physstate < PHYS_SLOPE ? 1.3f : 1.0f;
  d.mul(nostrafebonus * fallslidebonus);

  float maxspeed = pl->maxspeed * nostrafebonus * fallslidebonus;
  vec playervel = vec(pl->vel.x, pl->vel.y, 0);
  float projspeed = playervel.dot2(m);
  float addspeed = clamp(maxspeed-projspeed, 0.0f, maxspeed);

  // circle move bonus scales up the player's inputs
  vec circlemovebonus = vec(m).mul(addspeed*circlemoveaccel);
  d.add(circlemovebonus);
  
  if(pl->physstate==PHYS_FALL && pl->strafe && (!strafejumprequiremovekey || pl->move))
    {
       // strafe jumping bonus scales up the player's existing velocity
       vec strafejumpbonus = m.mul(addspeed*strafejumpaccel);
       d = playervel.add(strafejumpbonus); // override d entirely
       if(strafejumpwithcirclemovebonus) d.add(circlemovebonus);
    }

Installation

No binaries are provided. Therefore, you must build this project from sources to run it.

• Clone this repository
• Copy or symlink the packages/ folder from your Cube 2: Sauerbraten installation. (This must done because packages/ can't legally be redistributed in modified versions of the game.)
• Compile a client and server binary. On Linux, run make -C src install in a terminal while in the root folder of the cloned repository.
• Run the game with ./sauerbraten_unix in the root folder.
