| | '''World of Padman''' is a free [[first-person shooter]] that began as a [[Quake III Arena]] mod called PadMod. The current version runs on an enhanced version of the ioquake3 engine, which is based on the Quake III Engine. Most of the maps in the game are lilliput style, and have a commercial-quality level of graphic complexity. Because of originally being a mod for Quake 3 Arena, most of the gameplay is similar. However, there is no Capture the Flag mode in World of Padman. World of Padman fully supports bots in both online and offline play for all game types. The bots have a variety of skill levels that you can select based on what you feel your gaming ability level is. Even though there is no single player mode implemented yet there is an option for one on the main menu. This feature will be added later. World of Padman also allows you to record demos as .dm_68 files and videos as .avi files using /record and /video. To stop recording you can use /stoprecord and /stopvideo. |

| == Weapons ==
| |
| | |
| === Punchy ===

| |
| | |
| === Nipper ===

| The nipper is the weapon you start with and is similar to a pistol. If you click the mouse button fast it shoots more rapid than the standard auto-fire speed.
| |
| | |
| === Pumper ===
| |
| The pumper is similar to the shotgun in Quake 3 Arena. It has a very limited range of fire but can cause high damage.
| |
| | |
| === Bubble G. ===
| |
| The bubble g shoots multi-colored ammunition rapidly. It is similar to a machine gun.
| |
| | |
| === Balloony ===
| |
| The baloony shoots water bombs that cause high damage on impact. It is similar to the grenades from Quake 3 Arena.
| |
| | |
| === Splasher ===
| |
| The splasher is a sniper rifle. It is great for camping and it is the only weapon with zoom but it takes some time to reload.
| |
| | |
| === Boaster ===
| |
| The boaster can be compared to a water gun. It shoots out a stream of slippery liquid that causes damage on direct impact.
| |
| | |
| === Boom-Boom Betty ===
| |
| This weapon can be compared to a rocket launcher. It shoots huge balls of fire towards enemies in a straight line.
| |
| | |
| === iMPERiUS ===
| |
| The iMPERiUS is the most powerful weapon in the game. However the max ammo capacity is 5 and it has to "charge" for a few seconds right before shooting. The iMPERiUS is often well-hidden. There are guides on the internet which may reveal the location of the iMPERiUS.

| == Multiplayer Modes ==
| |
| Besides widespread gametypes like tournament, free for all, and team deathmatch, WoP features three uncommon gametypes: Spray Your Color, Last Pad Standing and Big Balloon.
| |
| | |
| === Spray Your Color ===
| |
| This mode can be played as either free for all or a team vs team game. This mode is unique to World of Padman. The goal is to spray a logo on the walls in the sprayroom. When playing SyC (Spray Your Color) you must first frag (kill) an opponent and collect their cartridges. If you die all your cartridges are GONE and they now belong to the person that picks them up. You can NOT pick up your own cartridge. You must be carrying at least one cartridge other than your own at the time of entering the portal. Once in the portal simply spray on the wall that matches your team, or if in free for all SyC, on whichever wall you prefer. You or your team will receive 5 points per cartridge and if in FFA you kill yourself you will lose 1 point each time.
| |
| | |
| ==== Scoring ====
| |
| Each cartridge gives five points either to you or your team depending on the mode of play. If you spray five logos without leaving the room you get 5 bonus points. If you spray eight logos without leaving the room you will receive ten bonus points.
| |
| | |
| === Big Balloon ===
| |
| This is a team game related to "Domination" from Unreal Tournament. In each map there are three boxes. As soon as you camp at a box, a balloon that is your team's color will float up. If the balloon is fully filled your team will receive points. If the opponent can camp at the balloon for more than 3 seconds then your balloon is destroyed and replaced with that team's balloon. In that case the other team will get points.
| |
| | |
| ==== Scoring ====
| |
| For each balloon your team captures you receive 1 point every 2 seconds. If your team has all three balloons the amount of points you receive are doubled. When time runs out the team with the most points wins.
| |
| | |
| === Last Pad Standing ===
| |
| This is a last man standing mode. It is free for all. Each player starts out with a certain amount of lives and will be forced to be a spectator when they run out of lives. At the end of the game there will be only one player left. That player is the winner. Also this mode shows user's names above their heads to prevent camping and coming out when there is only one person left.
