I believe FvF will work at 0.05 ticrate -- at least I think I put some code in to adjust the gravity if it's set to 0.05 (after restarting a level). But I don't think things feel right at that ticrate.... I don't remember all the reasons I don't like it. Elevators feel weird or something. I may have also put in code to override any ticrates if some foq tries to set them even lower than that, heh. Not sure, actually.
And Fun fact: you can't jump as high/far when the ticrate is set to the lower values. So you can't jump as high as you are supposed to based on Single Player gameplay. That's why you can't jump out of certain water or lava areas (like the area by the stairs on e2m6, or the lava under the elevator on... e3m6) which you are supposed to be able to jump out of in Sing Player mode. I compensate by altering the gravity based on the ticrate (but only for 0.1 and 0.05) so in FvF you can actually jump about the correct height. Unlike in other Quake servers... where they can't even dance. What's the point of even playing if you can't do a victory dance??
