I love YaBB 1G - SP1!

Hi there, im kinda new here and i didnt find any more suitable forum than this to post this so here i go.

Today i started a own speed run on Half Life to try to get a good personal time, and now im stuck at one place where i cant boost my self up; http://img384.imageshack.us/img384/3545/boostvx8.jpg

As seen in SpiderWaffles Single segment run through half life.

I have tried all kinds of boosts but i cant get up there. grenade boost, snark boost, bazooka boost, gauss gun boost. Could some tips from you more experienced people help me out Roll Eyes

Maybe it's cause you are using a different version ? Maybe ?

Speed is everything!

Have you tried this on some other positions? Maybe it'll work on another position like another wall.

Existence as you know it is over

You have to use the slopes for gauss boosts. I don't think damage boosts can get you up there with 24 armor.

You can get up there if you have 24 armor, but you will have to "duck-boost".

Hmm yeah that is right. Somehow I thought he meant the wall to the left, in which case 24 armor is too much.

Don't think! feeeeeal

just gauss boost, run backwards and aim straight backwards with a centered view when you release the charge. Also helps if you wall strafe, hold back and right strafe against the wall and you'll run backwards faster. Then if you're a little short hold duck when your in the air.

Or maybe you try to do some wallmine climbing.
I personally first rob the weapon chamber Grin

and then climb on mines at some other place.
It's not that fast, but... ah weapons, that's like Christmas for Freeman. Cheesy

Food goes in here

Yeah like if you have any tripmines, that's an option too. If you're having trouble with the tau boost, maybe place like 2 tripmines on the wall, then use snarks for the rest of the way. But if you want to do the boost, the slopes are key, like laughing gas said. Try and do the boost right as you hit the slope, then crouch, and you should make it.
