How do I learn to strafe jump in Quake3?

Arqade Asked on March 8, 2021

I have read tutorials, watched videos, still can not strafe jump (movement by bunny hopping with gained speed) in Quake 3.

Do I need specially made maps for it to work?

Is there some settings I need to change server- or client-sided?
Perhaps a good tutorial showing hand movement and keyboard, mouse rhythm and coordination?

Quake Live features a strafe jumping tutorial map with screenshots and videos of each "puzzle."

A video of the map being cleared can be seen here.

Note Quake Live has slightly different movement physics than the original Quake III Arena.

The best way to learn how to strafe-jump in Q3A is to install DeFRaG mod (download link) and practice on opc1 map (download link). The very beginning may be a bit frustrating and difficult, but after you will pass that map, you will know how to make strafe jumps properly.

Genesis – The Beginning Of - see how to use DeFRaG configuration for feedback on your jumps (pressed keys, last jump speed, etc.)

You may also enable Camping Gaz HUD in DeFRaG. It's a bit complex HUD, but it may helps you to get immediate feedback on your movement and strafe jumping.
