IntroductionFreeStyle, formerly known as Tefrag is a mod based on Defrag's (A mod for quake 3) rules whose goal consists to give a better way to Trickjump on Tremulous.
What is TrickJump ?TrickJump is a way to do movements that you can't do with normal game.
Those movements are generally called strafjump, longjump, circlejump, bunnyhop, lucijump, overbounce, pulse-climb.
Actually, there are some maps bound for TrickJump, like circletrain1, circletrain2, strafserie_a, strafserie_b, fsn_tricks, straftrain1, thurze, climbtrain & hot-jump.
Why a Trickjump mod :o ? Wasn't devmap good enough ?Although devmap has got usefull cheats (Noclip, god & give) to Trickjumps, it's not bound to be on a working server.
We have to be in front of the facts :
Does devmap gives you weapons at join ?No !Does it manage multiple mods (Solo, Multi) ?
No !
Does it allow you to build without creep/eggs/om/reac/repeater/power ?
No !
Does it revoke building rights of each people whose admin level is lower than a given number ?
No !
Can you get unlimited ammunition without having to bind ?
No !

The goalFreeStyle was created to open new ways for Tremulous's players & mappers.
It is also bound to be adapted to exotic "gameplays" like Madcat.
ServersAsche hosts two servers, the first works on classic branch whose name is FreeStyle >Dev< & IP is 94.23.18.18:37021.
The second will works on "Madcat-FreeStyle" gameplay. Its IP is 94.23.18.188:30720.
There is also the "A<3 Freestyle" at 89.46.37.242:65534.
LinksAsche hosts a website & his domain name too that you can find >> Here << (http://www.trem-ftc.org). On it, you'll find FreeStyle's sources & a forum.

:D Finally a trickjump mod! Yay!
Ill try it soon!
Server crashes upon loading a map with tjw's tremded. I think you need to distribute the tremded that goes with this mod.
Well, I applied the patch backport901 to be compatible with Tremulous-1.1.0's tremded. You can get this binary from tremulous-1.1.0.zip or at the following adress : tremded.x86 (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?w5mjvimjffj).
After a few minutes playing, I think I'll improve the mod on these points for the 0.8 :
- cg_thirdPerson
- cg_fov
- No collisions
- Better anti spawn block
- Score = Speed record
- config files (contain cvars) for maps. (example : maps/configs/atcs.cfg)
- Rewrite some parts of the code (Because on the 0.7 it's ugly)
Looks fun! Keep it up.

I didn't think of that. It works now, thanks.
feature request: speedmeter in the hud (u/s)
Here's the code in Tremfusion: http://www.tremfusion.net/hg/tremfusion/file/e81021328750/src/cgame/cg_draw.c#l1816
I added a few features in the U76 like :
- cg_CustomFov (if it's at 1, you're able to change your fov).
- No damages in the radius if g_tefragMulti = 0 (unlike 0.7)
- cg_thirdPerson
- speedMeter improved
- Tefrag prints what cvars he changes at start
- Unlimited blob for goon+
- g_tefragCheat is usable as alien & human
- g_namesStuff activate (or not) lakitu7's names restriction
- No bounce human when they fall
- Overmind doesn't attempt to hit humans
- cg_alwayssprint (Thanks tremfusion ;-))
- I deleted the compatibilty with Tremulous 1.1.0's tremded to be able to run the mod with Tremfusion (and others)
As usual, you can test thoses new features at 94.23.18.188:30721

A new reposistory was open at svn://94.23.18.188/freestyle.
What is pulse climbing? It sounds interesting. Nice mod, by the way.
You should do that you can get hit by your own bullets(firing lucy and running into it to... die). It's easy.

Pulse climbing is shotting ground so splash damage makes you jump or something like that imo.
A<3 Freestyle is now online, for you US players.
89.46.37.242:65534
Ackman : Why not, I think I'll add something like that with the future new anti-collisions in release 0.9.
Archangel : By the way, that's a great news. I'll add your server to the server list ;-)
Where can I download this mod or game.qvm?
On the web site : http://trem-ftc.org
The Web site can be view in English !
I still don't get what for is this. It is for lonly bothered players? Anyone have demo with gameplay from there?
View that movie : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVZ3B4sidro
This mod try to re-create the conditions for reproduce the same tricks, lonly or multi player.
Asche: thanx. That is very nice video. Some tricks reminds me Final Fantasy 7 advent children movie.
Hey guys,
please provide list of basic steps needed to be performed in order to install your mod to Trem server (kind of step-by-step guide?).
Thanks in advance
