General Information

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.
