On the Cranium Crater game map, there are two pads you have to hit just right. One of them, the first, is on a small hill that has a few trees and a boost pad. The pad does not change. If you go off of it, you will see another boost pad next to a mound with a tree on it. That pad changes. It has to be pointing between the tree and the big hill toward the cliff. If you can do it just right you can get the first pad to launch you to the second one, then the second one will carry you off the edge. There is an island, bot falls island, that you can reach if you do it perfectly. You can see the island by driving around the edge of the arena.hope this helps.

Has {cliff jumping} been eliminated with the new 1.1 update?
I can't seem to survive a jump even with good health, and a big tank from a spike. Not even with the little tank using the arrows in Cranium Crater.

Yes GRITSZR2... you can only survive on servers running an older version.

I don't know how you did that, but you're either a god or a hacker.

Did you do this from the 1.0 version or the 1.1 update?

-Z- is the master of island hopping.. but.. I have a few questions.

For one.. that radar is 1.1 or post server update.. wtf!?!

For two.. under what game style do you get 3 bots and 2 ufos and survive long enough to hop!?! (I see the shot hitting you)

For three.. under what setting/game style do you get "bite the dust", or "sent to the morgue"!?!

For four.. under what game style can you play ufos in scrum!?!

For five.. WHY ARE YOU NOT SMOKING!?!?!?!?!?!

I am very impressed -z-... but yet.. at the same time...
very skeptical =)

Problem is.. he has to be there (alive or dead) to take the snap.. at least the original.. or have access to the editor!

What he did is edit the prefs file to give his tank more health, and drove there. I did that to win solo! :)
But the bite the dust and stuff like that, I think it's the same file.
You don't need an editor. Notepad will do.

Possible Nathan.. possible.. but that still leaves us with the question...

How did he get the ufo bots in a scrum game.. and if so.. could you run your own scrum game with your ufo v/s ufo bots for your own enjoyment?

@ DanMAc. Was this on Hawaiian Island Hopping? If so I can make it a team server. Which will keep psycho DEMOs off but not those damn (SA) gangsters and there drive bt shootings of hoppers. I noticed some shenanigans the last few morning. There is always the password that some know .

When im on Hawaiian Island Hopping its not the SA's who are killing its guys like demos and other uncooperative game owners. Just had to make a rebuttal in some way.
