Somethings wrong with the hook at Shmack, getting lot's of misfires. It's happened a couple other times over the last few weeks too.

PD

How often do you encounter the problem? When you experience it again would you try the maps server (port 26001) and see if you have the same problem there? If the map is custom, type "impulse 2" (to join the game) and then vote for a standard level (type "start" in the console).

Also, how do you access hook (1 twice, hook-on, +hook)?

I use +hook

It seems to be working ok now, next time it happens I will test the other things you mention though.

PD

What sort of misfire?

Not firing at all is caused by lag and packet loss, which also causes temporary stuck hooks (stuck to a wall, etc)

Personally, I've always noticed a bit of an aim problem with the hook at any server... I imagine it has to do with the limited number of angles, but eh.

aiming problems?
This from lag or your sensitivity too high?

Only runequake servers or ctf ones too?

this could help maybe in the code in HookOn...

newhook.velocity = HOOK_TRAVEL_SPEED * aim (self, HOOK_TRAVEL_SPEED);
