Using the ASA Methods we can take the distance between two objects, two angles, and than calculate everything else about a triangle. There's the internet to explain how this actually works but the general gist is that we went in-game while I was livestreaming (so we had witnesses), found a suitable wall and nearby object, measured the distance using the in-game tacnet (bit on the lower right that will show you the distance to the player you're aiming at) and then used that and the fact the wall is a perfect right angle to determine the rest of the stuff.

Once we had that it was just recording everything again using a Caldari Assault suit with a bunch of different fittings (0 myrofibrils, 1 myro, 2 myro, etc) to see just how high he's jumping. Once we had that variable I plugged it all into GIMP 2.0 to calculate the angle between the nearby reference object and the player (thanks Jadek Manheim for the help, sorry I can't spell your name) using the built in measurement tool which conveniently shows angles.

After that we plugged everything into Excel (also on the livestream so everyone knew I wasn't cheating) and ran the numbers using a bunch of really awesome formulas and spreadsheet functions to make it all automatic because I don't care to sit down with a pen and paper for hte rest of the night (I have work in six hours, sue me).

Wait.... He hit the ceiling and you didn't post the video in the thread... Do it now

[quote=Iron Wolf Saber]Thank you for your work; this data will be crucial for making a drastic swing with the numbers that leaves everyone confused as to whether or not we turn on our computer monitors when we adjust the numbers.

I got a C the first time I took Trig in HS.

It was rough. Not even going to bother with the spreadsheet. I'll just agree with post number 27 in this thread if they appear.

It would work if the maps were designed for it. The current ones just don't cut it for that type of gameplay.

Is there a reason that there is a screenshot of a spreadsheet rather than an actual spreadsheet?

That is some sick jumps right there. No way in hell would a scout survive those kind of falls without inertia dampeners or without suffering a massive loss in armor which -- as we all know at this point with scouts -- is nothing. I can definitely see medium sized suits using the blue bottles so much primarily because of the slot advantage they have.

Yeah. Either the model for jump height isn't the, err, "real life" one, or else the gravitational acceleration is different. I've tried it out with the given stacking numbers, inverse stacking penalties, and also with "compounding" bonuses as opposed to "stacking" ones, but none of those get Aeon's data to fit the model.

I did throw this Aeon's way: Does anyone know what the precision is on the "distance from player" readout is? If it's precise to, say, 1m then I suppose the calculations could be off far enough to match.
