Planitia Now Open as a combat only free fighting world

Post by zaroba »

its finished...mostly.
its playable anyway.

play guide:
log in, buy weapons, blow up your fellow players to get 10s per kill.
the only rules on the world are no spawn killing and no racial/sexist insults.
bad language is pretty much ok on the world, so young players beware if you have over protective parents that watch you play.

after you've made some money, you can build a town, and build your own weapon shops to restock with. can also save up your money to build a house. the more money you have, the bigger the house you can get. the only difference between the houses is that cheaper ones will be easier to destroy. houses are the only destroyable thing on the world. you can also build ornamentals if you want. thiers a wide varity of ornamentals to decorate your town with.

vehicles:
all vehicles are freely accessible. they are all also set the exact same so changing vehicles will only change the way you look. i haven't set all the vehicles yet, but they all work.

weapons: - you select what weapon to use by opening your inventory, highlighting a weapon, and hitting insert. any vehicle can use any weapon in your inventory.
thier are 8 weapons:
mg bullets - machine gun. fires 5 or so bullets over a 1sec period of time. low damage rate and 1.5 secs between shots
landmines - a landmine (don't think its working fully yet). a landmine that you lay on the ground. landmines have the highest damage rate and you must wait 5 secs between laying each landmine. they will sit on the ground for about 10 mins before they expire. the expirey timemight be shortend.
speedy missile - a simple point and shoot rocket. stays at the height you shoot it. explodes when it hits the land or another player, only does 5x damage of the mg bullet but is the fastest weapon. need to wait half a second between shots.
cluster rocket - a high lobing missile that shoots into the air and explodes into 8 grenades about a drawdist of 900 away. does half the damage of a landmine. need to wait 2.5 secs between shots.
cruise missile - the classic cruise missile. when shot it follows the landscape until it hits something. does 5x the damage of the speedy missile. need to wait 1/2 sec between shots
Surface to air missile - missile thats shot from the ground to hit planes. exactly the same as the speedy missile, except goes as fast as the cruise missile.
air to air missile - exact same as the surface to air missile, but can only be shot when flying.
photon ring - fires a ring of about 16 plasma shots out from your vehicle in all directions (except up). does bout 10x the damage of the mg. need to wait 2.5 secs between shots.


wildlife:
there are many spiders crawling around the world. you can kill them to collect 'dead spiders' which will be sellable for money. if you can't see the spiders, go into small mode, goto the options menu, select general options. set client side max wildlife to a higher number. max you can see in-game is 250. you must be careful with the spiders though. the mother and father spider will attack you if they see you. afterall, your running around thier home killing thier babies. even if you set your clientside max wildlife to 0, you will still see the mother and father spiders.
