Introduction
Hello and welcome to Chaos-Esque Anthology: a modification of Xonotic.
Chaos-Esque adds a wealth of additional features and options to the game world to allow you to synthesize
the combat environment you desire to fill with feats of extreme oppositional maneuvering.
These additions include: Buildable Buildings, Spells and Potions, Environmental Mutators, Mounted Guns, a
City Generation system, and the spawning of additional items such as weaponry and such things as spikes,
baloons, and other hazards. An inventory system is also included. Before we delve into all of that however,
there is one crucial tool that must be mastered:
*The console
The first thing that must be known is how to bring up the text console for the entering of extended commands
To do so press ~ or Shift+Esc. To exit the console press Esc or press ~ again.
*Picking up items, Opening doors, Entering Vehicles
The second thing that must be known is to how to collect items.
In Chaos-Esque this is by way of the USE key: F.
Go near an item, and if you wish to acquire it into your inventory press F.
The USE key (F) also works to open some doors and enter vehicles (be walking at the vehicle while pressing F)
*Inventory
To list your inventory enter the console (~ or Shift+Esc) and execute the command:
inventory
The inventory command will also list your stats, what spells you know, and your body temperature if the map has
an ambient temperature set.
You can use tab completion to allow it to type faster (type in inv and then press the TAB button on your keyboard (inv))
To search nearby chests use the search command in a similar fastion
To drop a weapon press Backspace. To drop a pack of the ammo that weapon uses press F+Backspace
You can also drop items using the drop command.
To list the inventory of the world, surrounding buildings, and other stats such as the ambient temperature execute the command:
worldinventory
Buildable Buildings
The buildable building system is one of the premier features of the Chaos-Esque Anthology modification of Xonotic.
It allows the player to build not only buildings, but also defensive structures such as turrets and point defense guns,
aswell as vehicles and barriers such as walls and obstructions. There are two building tools in Xonotic: Chaos-Esque Anthology.
There is the multitool; a building tool which creates medieval structures, and the utilitool;
a tool which creates futuristic structures. Hammers can assist in the building of a structure from a placed scaffold.
*Equipping the player with a building tool
In-order to build one must have the tools. In this case the tools are a multitool or a utilitool, and a blunt object such as
a hammer. To start players with a multitool or utilitool one may go to either:
Multiplayer > Create > Mutators or Multiplayer > Create > StartWeapons
Multiplayer > Create > Mutators is sometimes the more convenient of the two options as the multitool and utilitool start weapon
options are along the bottom of the screen. Multiplayer > Create > StartWeapons will allow you to select any of the weapons.
Next to the multitool and utilitool options in the Mutators menu there are a number of additional check boxes. These disable
costs associated with building such a resources, time, and research. A quick way into the game of design is to click the multitool
and the 3 boxes associated with it. Mousing over the checkboxes will give you information as-to what they do. In the
StartWeapons dialogue there are those options aswell as further options near the top right of the screen. Here you can enable
and disable various options such as what vehicles can be built, where one can build, and what Era the multitool works in.
The "MT Ancient" option toggles whether the multitool builds medieval defenses and vehicles or WWI style war engines.
Below the "MT Ancient" option are other useful options such as a setting that creates additional spawnpoints when you build
a bed
