canonical link to CPACK - where to get the author-maintained version

The core first person CPACK contains scripts and units that are necessary for most/all levels that use the gamemode.

The First Person Tools page has documentation.

Information on this page relates to the default settings. As such, specifics may vary on some maps.

• The game must be in free-view mode (shift-f by default) for first person controls to work.
• WASD or arrow keys to move
• Hold shift or control to move slowly
  • Be careful not to accidentally press shift-e, as that is the default hotkey for “edit map” and will invalidate your score.
• Left mouse button to fire
• The scroll wheel rotates between unlocked weapons
• If unlocked:
  • 1 switches to cannon
  • 2 switches to sprayer
  • 3 switches to mortar
• The “Custom0” key toggles autofire

3 weapons are currently supported: the cannon, mortar, and sprayer. For the most part they share the same strengths as their equivalents in the base game, so this section focuses on parts specific to the game mode.

The cannon is the least precise of the weapons to aim. It loses less damage against thin creep than the mortar, and can damage creeper in a larger radius than the sprayer with each shot.

The mortar deals the most damage to creeper, but its small damage area means it loses much of it against thin creeper. Aiming for deeper areas and adjusting aim with each shot will help get the most out of this weapon.

Although the sprayer has the lowest DPS, it is often the most useful weapon at your disposal. It excels at holding ground, and deals all of its damage by depositing anticreeper, up to 25 deep.

• Info cache controller
• Makes totems charge while the player is near them, and lose charge when under creeper.
