How to install mods?

[JMM]

I am not ridiculing the game I like the game how it is but there is always room for improvement. I bet the AC engine hasn't been re-written in at least seven years.

Closer to 15 - while the engine has received some tweaks, it's still basically the same thing that the original Cube shipped with when it came out in 2001.

But there is this: https://github.com/assaultcube/AC/pull/137

FPS in ac_magic-school in RVSF base jumped from under 20 to 50+ and in SWAT_silent_day from ~30 to ~50 on my laptop's Intel chip. Whether that gets accepted is another thing altogether.

(EDIT: not that these are examples of great maps, it's just to give an idea of what can be done performance-wise)

that's why these things are inexistent in all of assaultcube's official maps

Except for mines. And elevation. Actually, good portion (if not most) of the official maps have drops which would be equivalent of running of the top of your roof with full gear - not 50ft but hardly realistic.

Elevation also has a spot where you can squat underwater.

Not saying these are bad, but they definitely exist in officials and also quite a few high-quality custom maps as well.
