[3] Gameplay notes


This mod works somewhat different from standard Liero. All 'weapons' (force powers) draw energy from a force pool, represented by a blue bar. It slowly replenishes over time. Force powers can be used for many things: manipulate the environment, damage opponents and make yourself stronger.

In addition, you're equiped with a lightsaber: a deadly energy weapon which quickly slices through anything it touches. It'll be your primary means of attack. You can also use it to block other players' saber.

Also, the HUD looks somewhat different. It is split into two parts, seen on the left and right hand side of the screen.
The left side shows your health (green bars and red center), kills (green coutner) and deaths (red counter).
The right side shows your selected force power (blue icon) as well as the next/previous ones, your force energy (green bar) and wether you're using the force (red light on top).




[4] Force power list

Drain
Leech forcepower and use it for your own good.

Grip
Grab foes and objects and move them all over the place.

Heal
Use the light side of the force to restore energy and gain strength.

Jump
Propel yourself through the sky to reach higher places. This is not a normal force power: it is activated by pressing jump and change at the same time.

Lightning
Unleash the true power of the force as deadly bolts of lightning.

Pull
Some coward is running away? Pull them back and they'll be at your mercy.

Push
Throw your opponents around with a mighty push of the force. Also pushes incoming lightsabers away.

Saber Throw
Attack from a safe distance by throwing your saber. Press again to make the saber return to you.

Sense
Makes you more aware of the surroundings. Shows opponents' health bars and gives away their position in the dark.

Shield
Fend of damage by depleting your force reserves.

Speed
Allows you to move with blinding speed, easily outrunning everyone.




[5] Hints/tips


-Your force replenishes faster when you switch your lightsaber off.
-Some force powers work both on players and objects.
-You can combine the lightning and drain force power with a twirl to spread destruction all around you.
-Switching your saber off makes you harder to see in the dark.
-Don't twirl your saber all the time: it stops you from concentrating and regaining used force.
-Attack shielded users with force drain to destroy their shield quickly.

Notes:
Use the GFX or SFX as you wish, just don't tell others you made them yourself. I don't need anything for them, but don't feel constrained to send me some cash if you REALLY want to.
