: havnt really noticed big jump when im pred, except
: once when Batcat flew over my head and pulled a
: Top Gun on my ass when he was pred. Is there something
: Im doing wrong?

8-)

As 'Max mentioned the pred' jumps further. In fact not quite as far as it use to. As q2 got revised this seems to have been a side effect. Bummer.
On q2dm5, the pits, there is a push button ramp to red armor.. the pred' use to be able to jump that without needing the ramp. We need to test this with the newest version and see if we can get this back.

There is also a "ramp jump" effect. Q2 added this recently (v3.19 or .17?) the pred' can get "out of control" on these jumps! Coming out of water/slime has a wee "ramp effect" as well and it will do the same.

Try jumping while near the top of a ramp on yer way up, chances are you will hit the ceiling

: Another thing, when you pick up ir/quad marine or pred,
: i've noticed sometimes Im glowing it appears as i come
: near walls, sometimes not--why?
: Are my supposed to be visible when I pick up ir/quad too?

You are NOT vissable. on your end every one is lit up with the IR, even you. If yer carefule you can lite just enough of the wall/doorway near you to see where yer going. 8-)

: I think it would be cool if when you pick up quad you're
: whole view became flashlight green--that whould be cool!
: like real night vision gogles.

If you could see ALL with IR then you would be way too dangerous, getting anywhere quickly and easily. The IR as it is requires you either already know where yer going with possible mistakes in the dark or that you use yer flashlight at some point making you vissable somewhat. Its a "balance" thing, it needs to have some weakness to balance the power.
Think of it this way.. give this ability to the most killer of predators you know and let them run with it on say Tokay's Towers. He could visit each of the 3 towers there inside of 30 secs. Yep. Big ouch. Proll'y have that hyper rail on auto-fire the whole time. :(

: Just my opinion. Still love the mod.

Thanx! Me too.. :)
