Controlling

There are 4 ways to control drones:

• You press use key (E) while looking at drone and
• standing afront of it
• You spawn Controller
• (Q->Entities->Drones Rewrite Tools->Controller)
• and press use key (E) on this and after
• the menu has been approached you type
• drone's ID and press Control *****
• You spawn Console and use it's commands
• For example:
• > printlist
• -- Found drones --
• ARTL213
• G211
• > select G211
• Selected G211
• > control -sel
• You take Remote Controller weapon
• (Q->Weapons->Drones Rewrite Tools
• ->Remote Controller) and press right mouse button
• until you find any drone. Also you can look at
• the drone you want to control and press right
• mouse button, remote controller will take
• it's controls, but there is a limit of distance
• that is 8000 units that allows you to get controls
• just by looking at the drone.
• Also you can control drone's keys by clicking
• Reload key (Default: R)

Hacking

When you type hack DRONE in console it will give you a lot of symbols and words which length is depending on hacking difficulty. You need to choose one of these words, just type it carefully. You have 4 attempts, if you fail you'll need to wait some time to try again. If you chose incorrect word console will say you how much letters are right. For example: word BREED, password TRIED. There will be 3 correct letters: R, E and D. Remember that DIERT will give you 0 correct letters although it has every letter from TRIED. All letters must be on their places.

For more info you can google "Fallout hacking guide" or something like that, our hacking system is ALMOST the same. Credit for it goes to Bethesda Softworks and Obsidian Entertainment.

Known bugs

• When in multiplayer you fly on drone far from yourself almost all sounds disappear. This is because of Source and we probably cant fix that.
• When you are controlling drone from an isolated place like admin room all effects and other stuff can disappear. That is also because of Source.
• AI is kinda stupid.
• Radar marks disappear occasionally
• Drones' HUD is not visible in multiplayer sometimes
