== Main Pages==
===[[How_to_modify_the_game's_configuration | Game Config]]===
Additional config options have been added that are not in the table
===[[Phoenix_Engine|Phoenix Engine]]===
This page probably should just be removed, we don't really have enough technical info to write it right now
===[[Races]]===
This page could use the image of the original concept art for races as well as a brief summary of each race leading into a read more. Linking to the blog post about race concept art couldn't hurt.
===[[Locations]]===
Brief descriptions and one image for each location, update for the new alpha as well as add named redirects to this page for each level. We can eventually split the page once level content is created enough to warrant it.
===[[Equipment_and_Weapons| Equipment and Weapons]]===
I fixed this page personally but we need to fix image uploading to finish it
===[[Alpha_Stages| Alpha Stages]]===
This page and Alpha_List are redundant, remove and name link one of them and add more than just external links to each alpha.
===[[Overgrowth_tests]]===
I have no idea what this page is, what information it provides, and who would ever read it. Make it more than a list or delete it.
===[[Overgrowth_FAQ]]===
This page looks good right now, all the relevant info from when it was created is still relevant now.
===[[How_to_download_the_game]]===
This should be merged into the FAQ
===[[Player_Controls]]===
This was merged into [[Control_Reference]] which I personally updated. Its still a mess but an accurate mess now.
===[[Alpha_List]]===
See above
===[[Lore]]===
Removed or moved to fan_theories or something. A page titled "Lore" should not start with "this isn't actually lore I made it up lol". This might have worked last year when this was written, but we have actual lore now.

==Modding Pages==
===[[Overgrowth_Map_Editing| Overgrowth Map Editing]]===
This page is about as decidedly non-helpful as a wiki page can be while still containing 1500 words. The redlinks at the bottom should point to sections in the control reference page rather than to blank nothing that helps nobody.

Crunchepillar: /* Assuming direct control */

== Assuming direct control ==

Hi, the last discussion on this page is from 2012 and the page itself hasn't been updated since March so I'm taking over and updating it for a201. --[[User:Crunchepillar|Crunchepillar]] 05:29, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
:I have completely reworked this page to have correct and up-to-date information. I will be adding images in the future, but for now I just spent way too long doing this, so the page will have to do without. --[[User:Crunchepillar|Crunchepillar]] 08:45, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
::So the images are all ready to upload but the wiki uploader is borked again. Just putting it out there so nobody thinks they have to make the images for me because I'm being lazy.--[[User:Crunchepillar|Crunchepillar]] 14:41, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

I was able to get cat scabbards into the game without it crashing after I tracked the issue down to a missing animation. Its technically in the game but when held it floats off the hand, though it functions properly as a sheath. Oddly enough, all sheathes refuse to hold anything but the Dog Short Sword. I'm wondering if I should add this to the page or not. --[[User:Crunchepillar|Crunchepillar]] 09:40, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

Fiver

2013-09-25T14:14:23Z

Crunchepillar: Updated trivia

Fiver was a guard at [[Rock Hall]] when Turner staged his bloodless coup against the king [[Hickory]].

He was left in charge as Turner traveled to the [[Wolf's Den]] to kill [[Ash]], the alpha wolf.

At the end of [[Lugaru]], it is unclear whether or not Fiver is still in a seat of power amongst the Rabbit
government.

== Trivia ==
Fiver is also the name of a Rabbit from Watership Down. This naming coincidence was likely intentional as an homage.

Crunchepillar: /* Scabbards */

= Weapons =
Weapons play a major role in the fierce and violent universe of Overgrowth.
Each race has its own weapon types with different abilities.
This article describes the weapons introduced so far.

== Polearms ==
Polearms are longer weapons, often with some sort of blade affixed to the end of a pole, to allow for greater reach.
=== Dog Spear ===
A short spear used with two hands to thrust into the enemy's exposed body or sweep them off their feet.
=== Dog Glaive ===
Much like a spear, but with an edge designed for cutting rather than stabbing.
=== Rabbit Catcher ===
A variety of glaive with two blades mounted at the end forming a "V" shape. Used to catch those pesky rabbits.

== Staves ==
=== Staff ===
While data exists for a basic staff, it will produce and ignorable error if loaded into the Overgrowth Editor. The weapon appears fully functional, including a two-handed stance when wielded.

== Knives ==
Knives are small and fast cutting weapons. Overgrowth has a wide selection of knives including:
=== Rabbit Knife ===
Little more than a handle and a poorly shaped blade possibly made of stone or volcanic glass.
=== Flint Knife ===
A striped grip and a blade, this knife resembles a standard chef's knife.
=== Gabe Knife ===
Everybody loves Gaben, google image it.
=== Dog Knife ===
Just a shorter version of a short sword.

== Swords ==
Swords are the bread and butter of melee combat. Overgrowth has several different swords detailed below:
=== Dog Short Sword ===
Its short, and also a sword. Exactly what's listed on the box.
=== Rat Machete ===
A close relative of the short sword, but with a single-edged blade. In this case there is also a spike along the top portion of the blade to cause extra damage when hacking enemies.
=== Dog Broadsword ===
A large two-handed weapon. Its blade is heavy and square-shaped.
=== Bastard Sword ===
While there is complete data for a sword called Bastard.xml the grip animations do not work well for all characters and the textures are noticeably lower quality than other weapons. Historically "Bastard Sword" or "Epee Bastarde" was a term for a sword of unknown origins or lacking the hallmarks of France, Spain or Germany. Because of the irregularity of this sword one could speculate that it is a homemade raider weapon rather than smithed by a skilled craftsman.

== Foils ==
Foils are light stabbing weapons meant for fast combat.
=== Rapier ===
A long, thin, fast, and elegant weapon. Its applications in combat are limited for those who have not mastered Foil Fencing.

== Parrying Daggers ==
Parrying daggers are held in the fighter's off hand and used, much like they are named, to parry incoming attacks.
=== Main Gauche ===
A small dagger with a blade-catching protrusion near the bottom of the blade. Use of this weapon for its intended purpose is not yet implemented.

== Warhammers ==
Historically, warhammers were not large and unwieldy hunks of metal on the end of a pole, but rather, an regular hammerhead on the end of a long shaft often with a spike on the back side of the head.
=== Dog Warhammer ===
Most foes aren't armored enough to stop this weapon once swung. Expect broken bones, lots of broken bones.

== Thrown Weapons ==
True to their name, thrown weapons are manufactured with the express intent to harm your enemies without getting close enough that they can retaliate.
=== Rabbit Throwing Dagger ===
Designed much like the Rabbit Dagger but with protruding spikes on both the inside and outside of the middle of the blade to catch more flesh when thrown
=== Rat Throwing Blade ===
A wicked weapon that is closer to a machete than a throwing dagger. It has a hooked spike on the inside bottom, outside top, and the bottom of the hilt. For when you absolutely have to cause pain from a distance.

== Exotic Weapons ==
Exotic weapons are far enough removed from the basic design or form of other weapons that they often require individual training just to use.
=== Macuahuitl ===
a sword-like wooden implement adorned with prismatic blades of volcanic glass. The Macuahuitl makes for an excellent, if heavy, swinging weapon.

== Scabbards ==
They may not be "true" weapons but they can block a blow or two for you and are far preferable to taking on an armed opponent barehanded.
=== Dog Short Sword Scabbard ===
A basic scabbard to sheathe your short sword in. Can double as a blocking implement or blunt weapon.

=== Cat Rapier Scabbard ===
Attempting to load this item into the game results in a crash due to a missing animation. Correcting this results in a rapier scabbard that cannot be used to sheathe any weapon.

= Equipment =
All of the below items can be attached to characters via alt+clicking.

=== Large Wooden Plate ===
A decent-sized piece of wood bound with ropes to provide extra protection in combat. Can be attached around the shoulders and arms.
=== Large Bag ===
A bag for storing goodies one finds while adventuring. Can only be attached to slots around the waist area.
=== Medium Bags ===
Somewhat smaller bags that can be attached either near the waist or upper chest. Otherwise the same as Large Bag.

:I've cleaned the article up and updated the controls. I had to rip out entire sections of a few tables regarding hotkeys because they just don't exist anymore. I'm confused what to do about decals and the paintbrush tools as neither of those appear to be functioning. Finally, I don't see why we have a table with tool/mode descriptions and then an entire section dedicated to reiterating how to use those tools. Suggestions on how to continue would be nice, otherwise I'm going to just do what I feel is right and probably end up consolidating information in a way everyone hates.--[[User:Crunchepillar|Crunchepillar]] 06:47, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

Control Reference

2013-09-25T06:42:35Z

Crunchepillar: I apologize for all the edits but this article is a mess

This '''control reference''' page is a comprehensive list of all actions available in the [[Portal:Overgrowth|Overgrowth]] alpha. The main goal of this page is to detail all main functions and discrete maneuvers that can be executed. Please review this page with each alpha release.

=Player Controls=

These functions are used when controlling a Player Character.

'Cmd' refers to the '⌘' key on Macs, and the 'Ctrl' key on PCs.

==Character Movement==

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Action !! Control !! Behavior
|-
! Forward
| W || Moves player forward.
|-
! Backward
| S || Moves player backward.
|-
! Left
| A || Moves player left.
|-
! Right
| D || Moves player right.
|-
! Crouch
| Shift || Makes player crouch.
|-
! Roll
| Shift while Moving || Makes player roll along the ground, somersault while airborne, and regain control of its body when 'ragdolled.'
|-
! Jump
| Space || Makes player jump.
|-
! Wall Jump
| Space or Shift || Player jumps (space) or somersaults (shift) away from the wall.
|-
! Wall Run
| Hold space while running on a wall || Player runs up a wall when coming at it straight on; runs along a wall if coming at it from an angle.
|-
! Ledge Grab
| Hold right Mousebutton || Makes player grab horizontal ledges. Using the A and D keys will shimmy along the wall and even around corners. Using W will cause the character to pull himself up the ledge and releasing RMB allows the character to drop back to the ground. Note: The character must have free hands to ledge grab (e.g. weapons that cannot be sheathed will block ledge grabs)
|-
! Pick Up a Weapon/Item
| Hold Q || If close to a weapon or item, picks it up. Note: The character has a slight animation that must complete before you can release the Q key and still hold on to the weapon. Note 2: Weapons can even be picked up while rolling provided the character is close enough.
|-
! Drop a Weapon/Item
| Press Shift + Q || Drops weapon. Note: Character must be on the ground to drop weapons, applies to weapons in both hands.
|-
! Sheath/Unsheath a Weapon/Item
| Press E || Sheaths the item or weapon (only one-handed weapons can be sheathed). Note: Only applies to the characters primary hand. (e.g. a right-handed character with a weapon in both hands will only sheathe/unsheathe the right hand weapon unless the player changes the off-hand weapon onto his primary hand)
|-
! Switch hand holding Weapon
| Press B || Switches which hand the player holds the weapon with. Only weapons in the primary hand are used to fight. '''This has been changed as of a201''' to a spinning animation. Players can restore the switch weapons function by following instructions on the SPF: [http://forums.wolfire.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=18689#p198758 Here]
|}

==Attack and Defense==

Note: You need a live and hostile character less than around one meter away from you in order to be able to attack.
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Action !! Control !! Behavior
|-
! Punch/Kick
| Left mouse button || Context sensitive. Depends on whether or not the character is in motion and their distance. Exact attack may change depending on the controlled character.
|-
! Throw a Weapon
| Press Q || If close to an enemy, the weapon will be thrown. The larger the weapon, the worse accuracy you will have. Knives work best.
|-
! Slash
| (While holding weapon) Left mouse button || Makes the player slash with a weapon in the hands.
|-
! Active Block
| Right mouse button || If you tap right mouse button as you're being attacked, you'll perform an active block that will leave your opponent open for a moment.
|-
! Active Dodge
| Movement Keys || If you move in a direction as you're being attacked, you'll perform an active dodge that will work against weapons while unarmed.
|-
! Judo Throw
| Hold right mouse button || If you press and hold right mouse button as you're being attacked, you'll perform a counter throw on your opponent, '''in a136 this was changed to only be possible after a successful active block'''.
|-
! Choke Hold
| Hold right mouse button || Choke holds are only possible if an enemy has not yet detected your presence.
|-
! Throat Cut
| (While in choke hold) Press Left mouse button || Quickly cuts the throat of enemy in choke hold.
|-
! Leg Cannon
| (While airborne) Left mouse button || You'll kick with both legs towards the enemy's chest area, launching you towards the sky and your opponent to the ground.
|-
! Sweep
| (While crouching) Left mouse button || Makes the player sweep the feet of enemies.
|-
|}

==Alpha Keys==

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Action !! Control !! Behavior
|-
! Restore characters
| X || Restores all characters to full health and wakes up any "unconscious" ones.
|-
! Reload Level
| L || Restart the current level from the beginning.
|-
! Change character
| 1 to 8 || Changes the playable character into one of seven possible characters. The first four are different rabbits, the fifth one is a wolf, the sixth is Rabbot 2.0, the seventh is a cat and the eighth is a raider rabbit.
|-
! Active ragdoll
| Z || Puts all characters into ragdoll mode. At the moment, in Alpha 114, the ragdolls are the world famous Active ragdolls, which try to protect themselves from nearby objects. In previous alphas, Z button put all characters into normal ragdoll mode.
|-
