User Guide
MODIFY DEATHMATCH SETTINGS: This option
will take you to a new menu where you can
modify the settings and rules for the
Deathmatch game you are about to host. The
available settings are as follows:
FALLING DAMAGE: This determines whether or
not you take health damage when falling
from high places.
PERSISTENT WEAPONS: Setting this to YES
will make the weapons stay available, even
after being picked up by a player. This
does not apply to other artifacts, such as
ammo, health and powerups.
WEAPON SWITCHING: Set to either instant or
normal. Instant weapon switching will
change weapons without showing the “put-
away” animations.
ALLOW HEALTH: This option toggles whether
health shows up in the map.
ALLOW ARMOR: This option toggles whether
armor shows up in the map.
ALLOW POWER-UPS: This option toggles
whether power-ups show up in the map.
INSTANT POWER-UPS: Power-ups take effect
the moment you pick them up when this is
set to YES.
INFINITE AMMO: When this is set to YES, you
don’t need to pick up ammo for your gun,
and you will never run out.
