The speed cap conundrum -- [[User:Defrag|Defrag]]

The two potential methods for solving the bunnyhop balance problem are as follows when the player is breaching the cap:

===Fixed reduction in speed===
When a player breaches the cap, a fixed value is deducted from the player's velocity. E.g. 20 units per jump, regardless of class and velocity.

===Proportional speed reduction===
When a player breaches the cap, a variable value is removed that is proportional to the player's speed in relation to the cap. E.g. if a player is breaching the cap, remove 10% of their velocity. For a medic doing 600 units per second when jumping, this would remove 60 units. The next jump would be at ~540 units, so remove 54 units. Repeat until the player is under the cap. Under this system, the faster you're going, the more speed you lose. Breaching the cap slightly would result in a smaller penalty, whereas being miles over the cap would quickly retard the player's velocity.

-A combination of many models.  We could have several cases and algorithms for each potential event.  E.g. one algorithm to run if the player's speed is over the cap, but under 200%.  A second algorithm to run if the player's speed is over 300% but under 400% and so on.
+A combination of many models.  We could have several cases and algorithms for each potential event.  E.g. one algorithm to run if the player's speed is over the cap, but under 200%.  A second algorithm for speed being > 200 and < 300.  A third algorithm to run if speed is > 300 and so on.
 Pros: Flexible.  We could tailor make it to handle every eventuality in a balanced and smooth fashion.
 Cons: Not very transparent to the player.  Perhaps a little unpredictable if we do not fully understand the ramifications of doing something.  More scope for bugs.
