This was done with a mod (therefore your first option), and multiple tests were done. All were offline and with the same script and the same position was loaded (including angles and everything). The range of which a player went without gun switching was 312-318 units, and the range with gun switching was 310-321 (and 321 was performed multiple times) under the same conditions. More tests can and will be run, but these are preliminary results. We still need to duplicate them under a preferably more controlled environment along with hundreds of runs being done. I fail to see how a script can be less accurate than a human in this case because humans have psychological issues to face as they do this along with the "luck" factor, whereas a script can reproduce VERY similar results without adding in a psychological statement such as "omg, I got 310 quicker than usual with the gun switch!", which would be an illogical inference that the gun switch makes you go farther, or do better.Drofder2004 wrote:Were these results tested by calculating player origins and distance jumped, or by old fashioned scrupulous testing on a gap range?
A mod that is determined by origins, and is affected by fps, latency and timing is a very poor experiment.
The player origins can be slightly off, even when the player is only slightly turned to its side, fps can cause a slight increase in jump details and also server server fps can affect timings. Also, the mod would need to take into consideration a small amount of player slide, as well as the fact it is only timed to the nearest 0.05 seconds.
And finally, the big problem with scripts: who is too say script A is not more accurate than script B?
If the standard jump script is timed slightly wrong, and the newer script is timed to perfection, we have a potential false evidence.
Sorry, but this HAS to be tested by human hands, no script will ever be accurate enough.
Also, what do you mean by Script A compared to Script B? These results were all performed with the same script (excluding the gun switch added in, which may be what you mean).
