Introduction
FreeStyle, 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 goal
FreeStyle was created to open new ways for Tremulous's players & mappers.
It is also bound to be adapted to exotic "gameplays" like Madcat.
Servers
Asche 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.
Links
Asche 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

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.
