how do I hump

I don’t get this. I hit enter yet I can never jump high enough to get on most of the stuff. This is completely ruining the game. I find I need to do some sort of weird alt-space jump to get on some of these pipes/boxes. This takes minutes and is 0 fun, so I cant imagine this is part of the game…

Whats going on? Right now I cant even progress in the game because ive spent the last 10 minutes on the bridge collapse part of the game and cant get over one of the pipes…

bms_normal_vertical_height or something along those lines. Try fussing around in the console. But yeah, the jump height is pretty low, you have to crouch jump everything.

Put this in your C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\sourcemods\Black Mesa\cfg\autoexec.cfg

bind shift +duck

alias “+cjump” " +jump; +duck"
alias “-cjump” " -jump;-duck"
bind space +cjump

When you push spacebar it will jump crouch for you

just so your aware, when next part of the mod is out, this script will also long jump for you 2

It takes minutes to press 2 buttons at once?

It’s CROUCH JUMPING. IT IS AN INTERGAL ELEMENT OF HALF LIFE. IT HAS BEEN SINCE 98, AND HAS BEEN PRESENT AND USEFUL IN EVERY VALVE GAME SINCE.

I’m sorry, but I’ve got to explode. I can’t wrap my head around how people can’t wrap their head around the intricate complexities of gasp PRESSING TWO BUTTONS AT ONCE HOLY SHIT. How in any way is this difficult? I mean, if it’s that much of an issue, you can re-bind crouch to something more accessible. I had to do it because alt negates my space bar if I press it before I jump, so the LJM was useless. I re-bound it to C, and it worked great.

Also, this is possibly the best thread title in the history of this forum. Pre-release included.

I hate to get in on the rage, but I have to agree with xalener. It’s easy, and it’s been a part of source games for ages.

tbh I disagree with both of you, although I am more than capable of doing it manually, and very well I may add, and used to this style for over a decade, to some players it is another thing to think about that isn’t natural, and really not needed, the question is, is there any occasion during the mod where a normal jump is preferable than a duck jump? if no, then it should be removed, its a pointless feature and all jumps should be duck jumps (imo ofc). Once multiplayer hits I’ll use a script 100% of the time, just because i have another key bound to a weapon, and not duck (I don’t really need to duck with a duck jump script as i can just hold key, and land in a crouched position into the area I need to be).

I use shift to crouch, so it’s easier for my pinkie finger.
