Question for all you RPG players out there...

[zeus]

So, I started playing some Monster Invasion on the unrealpinky server. There was no shop binding key so I could actually play.

However, I have some questions regarding the little medalions. What are they and how do you use them? Are there keys that I need to bind to use them? I guess these are what power up my weapons correct?

Thanks for any help!

I'll have to have a look at Pinky's but those are usually artifacts that are collected and appear in a horizontally scrollable list on the left side of the HUD. You can 'scroll' through them using hte Next & Prev Inventory keys (usually the left & right brackets). You utilize the artifact by pressing the 'U' key. The artifact may be a weapon powerup, a monster summoner, etc. Their actual effect may also depend on your 'class' of user and how much adrenaline you have.

I'll have to see what Pinky's is doing since there is one server that has the Weapons Of Power (WOP) mod who's operation is a complete mystery to me and I guess that could be what Pinky's is using.

Yeah, it is really a Weapons of Power question vs. straight RPG.

I understand leveling up, etc. I used to play on Toxic's Monster Assult RPG.

It is understanding the weapons that is throwing me off. I will look into the [ and ] keys.

Thanks snaggle!

Hey Zeus,


I found this while searching. I think it applies to all WoP servers:

Snaggle.

Edit: The 'General' link on that page gives more info about how the powerups can be applied.

[zeus]

Yeah, I had briefly read through that. After I figured out that powerweapons were seperate from RPG...

That is kind of why I asked the keybinding question. I was wondering what everyone here was doing for key bindings before I went and made wholesale changes to my user.ini.

If I can get away with just the [ and ] keys, then that will probably do it. I don't think that I have anything else bound to those, at least not that I use regularly.

Thanks again!

Don't forget, when trying to use the artifacts, you need to have 100 adrenaline to activate them, then when the adrten wears off, the artifact is done with from my understanding. Healers/medics may work different, I'm speaking from Weaponsmaster P.O.V.

[zeus]

Yeah, the artifacts I had worked out.

I was just puzzled how people kept getting infinite spread link gun. ;)

Yeah, some require 100 adren. Some can use existing adren and also be turned off before full adren use (triple damage & lightning-rod jump to mind). The Medic & Adren Masters also only use portions of their adren to utilize the artifacts that are special to them.

They are using 'denial' to keep certain weapons between deaths. I would also assume that there are capabilities that can be purchased in-game that either spawn you with 'nice' weapons or at least allow you to make them very quickly.

The one WOP server I tried looked like the fireworks finale from a 4th of July celebration. Lots of stuff flying everywhere and no obvious way to get involved. :sad5: Too chaotic for me. Mebbe with a little more patience I could get into it but it looks like the weapons are way too powerful and may in fact take away from the experience.

Weapons of power aren't bad at all. They let you combine many effects, in addition to your class powers. So you can have a spread healing gun or a null infinity gun.
Of course, you do have to go out and find and share the powerups, because you most certainly will only want to use a few effects (if you mix up too many power up kinds, all the effects are just gonna be weak and ineffective).
By the way you can only pick up the power ups if you have a weapon of power, and powerups can be used only once.

[zeus]

How do you share you powerups? I know you can toss your weapons. And I have seen people toss their medallions, I just don't know how to do that.
