Bot support
World of PADMAN offers full bot support for all game
modes! Offline players will be happy to play Spray
Your Color, Big Balloon, Last Pad Standing, Capture
the Lolly and many more with bots. The bot support
works quite well and the maps have been optimized
for bots.
Dropping items
Have you collected a bunch of color cartridges and
don't think you'll make it to the teleporter? Want
to give your teammate a color cartridge so they can
earn extra points for the team with SprayGod or
SprayKiller? For such cases, you can define a drop
button in the menu under Setup -> Controls -> Move.
The defaults are 'F' and 'Backspace'. This feature
works not only in the team version of Spray Your
Color, but also in Capture The Lolly and One Lolly
Capture. Here you can pass the lolly to other
players. In Catch The KillerDuck you can quickly get
rid of the duck if it gets too much for you.
Glow Skins
In serious tournaments it is important to recognize
your opponent quickly. For this reason, WoP offers
the option to activate glow skins in the Setup ->
Options -> Game menu. If you do this, the models of
your opponents will get a glowing skin in a color of
your choice, so that they stand out clearly from the
game world. This option is certainly a plus for
clans and action-packed 1v1 battles, but not for the
overall graphical concept ;) In the team game modes,
the colors are always set to red and blue.
Voice-Chat
Gone are the days when you had to torture your
keyboard, because World of PADMAN has a voice chat
system. This must be activated in the menu under
Setup -> System -> Net/VoIP. Then you can choose if
your voice will be recognized and transmitted
automatically or if you want to press a button to
talk (push to talk), like with a walkie-talkie. If
you choose push to talk, you can define a button for
it in the menu under Setup -> Controls -> Chat. The
default is 'R'.
In the game itself, you can also adjust the volume
of individual players or mute them using the
'Escape' key to enter the in-game menu. If you want
to use Mumble as an external voice chat program, you
can also select Mumble support in the menu.
Warmup
The g_WarmupReady command can be used so that
a game does not start immediately after loading, but
only when a certain number of players have
registered as ready to play with the
/ready command. The server administrator can
set the variable g_WarmupReady to a value
between 0 and 1 in the server configuration, where
g_doWarmup must also be set to 1. If
g_WarmupReady is set to 0, this means that
the game will start immediately. If it is 1, 100% of
the players present must type /ready in the
console. In addition, any other decimal number
between 0 and 1 can be entered to force a certain
percentage of players to be ready.
Examples:
set g_doWarmup 1
set g_WarmupReady 0.5 -> 50% must be ready to play
or
set g_doWarmup 1
set g_WarmupReady 0.8 -> 80% must be ready to
play
This command is especially recommended for Last Pad
Standing and team-oriented game modes in general.
Bugs
World of PADMAN has been in development for over 20
years, but that doesn't mean it's bug-free. Like any
self-respecting developer, we've intentionally
included a few bugs to give you something to look
for and get excited about. If you find bugs, send us
an email so we can brag about a patch. ;) Better
yet, report the bug directly on
Github
by creating a ticket there.
