No. I think a lot of you are misunderstanding what I was saying about happyjump. I'm not saying happyjump makes T1 physics exactly like T2 or TV. Of course it doesn't. What it does do is make the mechanics of attempting to ski work in a similar way as T2 or TV. And it does work a lot better then a lot of jump scripts. For me, when I compare methods to ski in T1 versus say T2C I am looking at how its done stock without any jump scripts or happyjump. Skiing stock in T1 is far more difficult than skiing in T1 using jump scripts and especially with happyjump. Obviously its preferable these days to have more of the auto jump skiing than the old T1 stock method of skiing.
I was mentioning that because there are discussions about how skiing in T2 or TV is easier than T1. Yes its easier to ski in T2C compared to stock T1. But for me, if you use happyjump specifically it makes skiing in T1 almost as easy as it is in T2 or TV. I dont think thats a bad thing. I just think if you argue about skill level of skiing in T1 versus T2C I'm going to assume you don't use happyjump. I am in no way an elite player and I don't play much T1 these days. I will say this. If I play T1 and use happyjump its like night and day for me. I can ski effortlessly with happyjump. If I go stock its like 1998 again and I'm calling for an APC pickup.
Mindflayer I'm going to dub you my official interpreter.

What are the odds Ascend has mod support?
If they are using the Full power of the Unreal Engine 3, quite high. You could probably port your tvbp project over with minimal effort.

And with that whole post I'm ALMOST convince you never even played Tribes.
Seriously...
So I guess happyjump makes no difference whatsoever. You are right I have never played Tribes 1.
