User guide

How to play

Basics:

  • To play, you are required to connect to the dedicated faintRedux server (jj-serv), where you can face up to 8 players on a map.
  • Also, the maps are editable and extensible for 3D modeling enthusiasts.

Leveling:

  • Every kill is +4 to your experience points.
  • Every death is a -1 to your experience points.
  • 100 Experience points = 1 Level.

Dimensions/Maps:

  • There is 8 players max per map, so after a map gets filled, a new dimension is created to hold new set.
  • To switch dimensions, one needs to enter and leave a map.
  • To get to the lobby, walk south in the Jungle to a little entrance.

Server Setup

Port # is 10101. It can be changed by hex editing the first word in server.dat.
