Re: [M-dev]Re: True aim of marathon (and a 3D player model)

Alright, I wasn't gonna comment on this, but MML would be a good solution. The
easiest (and most realistic) way of doing this is to have a maximum safe
velocity, meaning that you get hurt when you hit anything going in any
direction if you surpass this certain speed. And the jump function (when you're
cheating) should be easily rerouted to another, single, jump key. An example
MML script would be: <player maxvelocity="3072" jump="true">.

Alright. I've gotten my ideas out of my system. Expect no more comments on this
subject from me.
