Hi. I once heard that it was possible to do a normal pounce as a dragoon but instead of doing the pounce you can instead chomp the human while in the middle of the pounce. Though this negates the pounce damage. I had this confirmed by a friend but I have no clue on how to do it. I was trying to do it but all it did was come up as pounce damage and kill the human. So does anyone know?

I remembered this (http://tremulous.net/forum/index.php?topic=3595.msg77801#msg77801) reply from about a year-and-a-half ago. Don't know if it works, 'cuz I'm still no good at goon. By slash, I assume the poster means chomp. That is a fairly interesting thread, if only because it was one of the early advice threads that became this sub-forum. Let me know if it helps. :P

You used to be able to do that on servers about 2 years ago but then they all disabled it, or something.

Strange, I managed to do that on a few servers with no problem. I'll check, maybe my mind is getting old.

it's disabled by default now.

it's no longer possible to chomp during a pounce on most servers. the original change comes from tjw's code (it's old enough that i can't tell you when he nerfed it, i hadn't wrapped my head around trem's code yet back then), and has been integrated into almost all game.qvm's that descend from his (which is almost all of them).

theres a glitch though i think, if you pounce and push the jump button at the same time, you perform some sort of "jump pounce" and you can technically chomp while pouncing, it is messed though.
-
It's not a glitch, all you're doing is pouncing and then jumping, therefore you are simply chomping while you are jumping.

yo dawg i heard you liked jumping, so we put a jump in your jump so you can jump while you jump

Double jump? I remember seeing a server or two with that feature.

I remember when you could do this pounce-chomp. It annoyed me more than it helped me.

i know some servers where you can still do it. It is a good move in my opinion.
