## Useful speedrunning scripts

```auto
//bhop
alias bh1 "+jump;alias bh@ bh2;special"
alias bh2 "wait;alias bh@ bh3;special"
alias bh3 "-jump;alias bh@ bh4;special"
alias bh4 "wait;alias bh@ bh1;special"
alias +bh "alias _special bh@;bh1"
alias -bh "alias _special;-jump"

//doubleduck
alias +dd "-duck;wait;+duck;wait;-duck;wait;+duck"
alias -dd -duck

//duckroll
alias +duckroll "alias _special duckroll;duckroll"
alias -duckroll "alias _special"
alias duckroll "+duck;wait;-duck;wait;special"

//gaussboost
alias gauss "cl_pitchup 180;cl_pitchdown -180;-attack2;wait;cl_pitchup -12;cl_pitchdown 12;wait;cl_pitchup 89.999;cl_pitchdown 89.999"

//quickuse
alias quse "-use;wait;+use;wait;-use"

//object boost @ 100fps
alias obbo2000 "+use;w11;-use;+jump;w;-jump"
alias obbo1500 "+use;w10;-use;+jump;w;-jump"
alias obbo1300 "+use;w9;-use;+jump;w;-jump"
alias obbo1000 "+use;w8;-use;+jump;w;-jump"
alias obbo800 "+use;w7;-use;+jump;w;-jump"
alias obbo600 "+use;w6;-use;+jump;w;-jump"
alias obbo500 "+use;w5;-use;+jump;w;-jump"

```

**Demo record and pause alias**

```auto
//LOAD
bind v "reset;pause1;load 3"

//STOP
bind e stopp

alias pause1 "host_framerate 0.000000001;sensitivity 0;bind mouse2 pause0"
alias pause0 "record temp;host_framerate 0;sensitivity 1;bind mouse2 +attack2" //SENS&BINDs
alias stopp "fps_max 100;pausable 1;sensitivity 0;pause;w4;stop;pause1;bind mouse2 pause0"

```

## Useful settings

```auto
clockwindow 0 //fixes random player freeze after loading a game
cl_bob 0 //disables weapon bobbing 
cl_pitchdown 89.99999 //viewangle limit
cl_pitchup 89.99999 //viewangle limit
room_off 1 //turns off echos and other effects on sounds

developer (0-2) //enables fps above 100, enables impulse codes among other things
fps_max (0-1000) //frames per second
r_drawviewmodel (0-1) //remove v_weapon model for more fps and better view
r_drawentities (0-4) //how entities will render, 0 for maximal fps, 3 to see hitboxes
default_fov (10-150) //field of view in degrees, 90-120 recommended
s_show (0-1) //displays name and path of current sounds
stopsound // stops all current sounds

```

## Weapon names

```auto
weapon_crowbar
weapon_9mmhandgun
weapon_357
weapon_9mmAR
weapon_shotgun
weapon_crossbow
weapon_rpg
weapon_gauss
weapon_egon
weapon_hornetgun
weapon_handgrenade
weapon_satchel
weapon_tripmine
weapon_snark

```

I don’t know what speed differences you are talking about.  
The old versions got x6.25 bunnyhop speed of normal [320]  
And newer versions got x1.7 bunnyhop speed of normal [320]  
Apart from that, it’s only crouching on ladders that is slower on newer versions. Rest is supposed to be identical.  
I have no idea of what x12 swimspeed you’re talking about, lol.

There is no differences in models either.  
Delete the “models” folder and HL will use the default ones from the .pak-file.

There’s no difference unless you’re using a model pack.
