i just read in the "notes" included in the 1.2 source:

Impulses

Normally Quake ignores impulse commands while you're in the middle
of an attack animation (for most weapons) or while you're attacking at
all (for the nail and lightning guns). This makes things look a little
nicer (for the player, because of the weapon animation, and from the
outside, because of the player animation). It causes impulse commands
to be lost if more than one is sent to the game before it checks for
them, though (only the last one received works). I've changed it so
that the game always pays attention to impulse commands, even if you're
in the middle of attacking.

For most people, the most important thing this will affect is that
you can use your rune even while attacking. Eg, if you shoot a
rocket and then activate the shield rune, the shield will come up
immediately rather than waiting until the rocket animation finishes.

Additionally, if you're using a complex binding scheme to do client
side switch firing, it will generally work better because the only
time an impulse command is lost is when two are sent in the same
game tick. Use the "wait" command to make sure the impulses each
arrive in a different tick.


It seems to me that impulses r sent to the server even when ur in messagemode or typing in the console.. (this may not be related to the mod.. maybe its a flaw in qrack) but this is actually very anoying.. especially when using massagemode while in admin menu.. becouse i have bound lots of keyboard letter keys to select weapons, it sends impulses to the server while "chatting" and things can get seriously messed up.. im sure lots of players have bound all kinds of impulse-related features in a similar way..

so i would suggest that impulses r not being send to the server while in messagemode or in console

*thumps up* tho for the otherwise great mod :D

That is definitely a problem with the engine, not with the mod. Bitch-slap R00k into fixing it...

The mod isn't told when you are talking, and AFAIK, it's not possible in protocol 15...

think i got it sorted now.. Sajt pointed out to me that in messagemode -binds (-attack, -jump etc.) are still being executed.. there was my problem.. so in the end its all due to my own cfg :D
