We have finally found out why we cannot go from ducked bhops to standing bhops without a flow break.

It is absolutely possible to duck-to-standup BHOP now. Also, you can bhop upwards a bit too, which to date, wasn't possible.

Thanks Raptor. You just got us one MAJOR step closer to perfection. GG

Other new tidbits from recent adjustments:
1. Customize Climber now has a save button and saves your adjustments properly.
2. Bungee and Art tool are now flawlessly predicted and SMOOTH.
3. Jumping has been properly predicted, and our jump animation was corrected.
4. New animations will appear including random idles, emotes, and other goodies
5. More models to choose from for maps, thanks to various artists.
6. Cool new Art Tool effects
7. A wicked new map from FragGyver
8. The view glitch while ducking and unducking in the air is 90% gone.

There's of course much more but hey......

SF must have been drunk watching this demo back then of Count.

We must revoke a demo because it is basicly bug abusing to gain a higher speed. Count set a World Record on kz_pirarra_theescape where he used the trigger_pushes to gain massive speed and avoid the whole course to get a time of 6 seconds. Jaso did what he did, but four seconds faster.

We took a closer look this time and decided that it is the same as using teleports to gain speed. Which isn't necessarily based on skill.
Due to the skill factor, plus the fact that no surf block was evn used, this is no longer allowed.

Hello all!

Submission mistakes:
One submitted demo of kz_cathedral was turned down for surfing up a slanted area, which is a violation against the 2nd Course Discipline Rule: Surfing up a wall to shorten the route.

A second demo, of kz_mix_pirarra_theescape, was turned in, this being the reason for the rewording of a rule, where the players used the trigger_push boosts repeatedly while surfing to achieve a 2 second time on a surf course where he never even touched one of the surf blocks after hitting the timer. This has been thoroughly discussed and ruled the same as abusing the teleporters to gain speed prior to hitting the start button. Hence this Rule change:

1. Repeatedly using teleports or other speed altering entities to gain speed PRIOR to hitting the start button. (Bunnyhopping stays allowed) Examples are kz_man_madness2: teleporters, or kz_mix_piraraa: trigger_pushes.

Hello all!

EDIT: can't believe I forgot my own demo!

Hello Ladies and Gents,

The following custom maps have been added to the Kzmod.com World Records List :

kz_cloudwalker_b1 By scratch (please correct me if this is the wrong version) (I think I chose the latest one but be aware he may release a final after we release Beta4)
kz_testlab By FragGyver
kz_testlab_labhopmini (bhop mini course with no sv_bhop, it's a natural bhop)
kz_debod By FragGyver
kz_debod_cavehopmini (bhop mini course with no sv_bhop, it's a natural bhop)

Let's see some new records and get some competition going! There are still a LARGE number of maps and mini courses that have no records.

I realize a few of you all have some problems with your KCAC. One of our trusty Admins (faker) spoke to eDark and was given this valuable information. If you don't try this method, hmm well then....if you do try this method and it doesn't work, please tell me about it.

Here's the method:
....all the guys having problems with it should keep their directories as clean as possible.
U can easily clone ur kzmod directory and use one for recording (as clean as possible), and the other one for normal climbing.
Thats what should fix the bug.

Hello all! Long time, no WR Update...and still no update!!!!

Faker still holds the record on kz_bhop_ravine with 00:26. Problem cleared and his demo is restored and the database is again updated with me no longer in the top 5 and faker at number 1 with his 10 demos :) hehe


Congratulations to cullBo on a wicked run!

EDIT
Well then:
http://kzmod.com/forum_viewtopic.php?10.7450.10
This thread completely explains why this demo will be revoked without further punishment for a "slightly" cheated demo. cullBo is new to our game and doesn't know what ever command does. Read that thread for more info or check the comments of this news post.

This bit has been added to the World Record rules page:


General Rules and Settings

ALL demos must be done with default settings of the config_default.cfg and on a simple listen server USING THE DEFAULT "TICKRATE" OF 60. Dedicated server (online servers too) demos will not be accepted.

Default means default. It WAS in these rules :) I just made a bit more clear!

Well hello there!!
All is not lost. All is just a bit slow atm :) That is just unfortunately the way things are. My schedule has drastically changed. Things are finally happening in my own personal life, which has taken me away from the computer a bit more than I would generally like, but hey, fear not, I have fullfilled nearly every promise I ever made as far as I can remember. We leave a small % chance for failure on this one as I am not the programma :) Raptor does that greatness. He gets all the credit for the coding of course. His life has also slightly changed just enough to keep us not always online at the same time.

Things we have recently done:
-Dynamically colored overhead names (got rid of the old name system), you will see the players name at any distance now correctly, the size of it even changes dynamically
-The Art Tool is now just the way it should be.
-Custom soundscape support!
-No delay on model changes.
-Dynamic physics shadow is perfected, we no longer teleport when on top of a physics object.
-Flare fire from within vehicles and the game now registers the player for triggers when he/she is in a vehicle.
-Added basic mp3 support
-The online cup plugins are near perfect
-3 New gameplay types: Aim, Derby, Target Races
-2 new maps:
kz_aim_flareworld Single player map only, not for servers. Play it to train your flare shooting aim while either standing or in a vehicle. Map made by me. This thing is basicly showing you what you can do with flare maps. It has all gameplay additions in it :)
kz_bhop_arctic a crazy bhop map in an arctic setting by Event....bring your jackets!

A few maps got adjusted including the fact that kz_caulis now has a real minimap to jump in. The bungee drop wasn't completely understood I suppose :) kz_station was also fixed up a bit.

I hope this info can satisfy the public eye that's been a bit hard on us lately. I even understand, of course, why it is like that. I want you to have the update too!

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate that!

Everyone have snow on the ground?

Kreedz Climbing Beta 3.2 is super close right now. Tell all your friends this is the coolest update, simply because we are going live with tournaments (Cups), have a new style of gameplay for you, a new map to support that, and so many bug fixes we are nearly bugless.

Our "Bugginator" Raptor has been truely working his buns off lately bringing all this excellent stuff to you. Give props where they are due!!!

Click the extended news to have a view of this, again, HUGE changelog for Beta3.2.

Keep going for World Records!!! That has been sort of slow here towards the end of the summer. Getting cold now :)

Peace to you all and wait about a week or less for this update!
