==Controller Setup==

Since alpha 150, external controller options have been added to the '''config.txt''' file. The following guide will help you configure your controller to properly work with Overgrowth.

Note: Currently the guide only targets Windows 7 users. Mac users may refer to [http://forums.wolfire.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=12631 Anton's guide].

First, make sure your controller is plugged in to your computer.

Next, open the start menu and click on ''Control Panel'' (located on the right side). Once opened, make sure the view is set to ''Large Icons'' (switchable in the upper right corner). Select ''Devices and Printers''.

You should see your controller listed under ''Devices''. Right click it, and select ''Game Controller Settings''. The ''Game Controllers'' window will appear. Make sure your controller is selected, then click on ''Properties''.

Once again, a new window should appear - make sure that the view is set to the ''Test'' tab. In this view, you will be able to determine which physical button is mapped to each virtual button. Play around with your controller to confirm that everything is working properly, and take note of the button mappings.

Now navigate to and open up your '''config.txt''' file (as described above). Rearrange the mappings in the file to match your desired controller setup.

Once you have everything modified, save the '''config.txt''' file and launch Overgrowth in order to test the new configuration.

[[Image:Dogweapons1thumbs.jpg|thumb|300px||All the currently made weapons in Overgrowth.]]

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.

= Dog Weapons =

== [http://blog.wolfire.com/2009/03/dog-weapons-part-one-polearms/ Polearms] ==
The polearms are longer weapons, with some sort of blade affixed to the end of a pole, to allow for greater reach. This allows for dogs to wage battles against without allowing their enemies to enter close-quarters combat, limiting the effectiveness of natural weapons such as teeth and claws.
The dogs use three major types of polearm:
<gallery perrow="4">
Image:pole2.jpg|[[Spear]]
Image:pole1.jpg|[[Glaive]]
Image:pole3.jpg|[[Rabbit Catcher]]
</gallery>

== [http://blog.wolfire.com/2009/03/dog-weapons-part-two-blades/ Blades] ==
The dogs use single-edge blades on their swords and daggers, which they use at closer range than the polearms. The blades are a strong example of the rectangular motifs used in the dog culture, and carry a distinctive, polygonal-shaped blade. As with the polearms, there are three types of bladed weapons utilized by the dogs:

<gallery perrow="4">
Image:blade2.jpg|[[Small Knife]]
Image:blade3.jpg|[[Bastard Sword]]
Image:blade1.jpg|[[Double-Handed Broadsword]]
</gallery>

== [http://blog.wolfire.com/2009/03/dog-weapons-part-three-the-hammer/ Warhammers] ==

The dog warhammer is a massive weapon, and must be carried in both hands. It is very cumbersome and unwieldy in battle, but still remains commonly used by the leaders of [[clan Stone]], because of its cultural and historical significance (see below). Though cumbersome, the weapon is highly effective against heavily armored or unusually tough opponents.

<gallery perrow="4">
Image:hammer1.jpg|[[War Hammer|War hammer]]
</gallery>

=Throwing=

Originally, weapons could only be used in close combat situations but in a165 throwing was introduced which added ranged combat to Rabbot's abilities. Throwing will almost always result in a kill on impact, players must factor in Rabbot's movement (rolling can mess up the throw, for example), and is easy to perform (there is an auto-target system implemented which doesn't require input from the player) but has a significant downside. If missed, the target may pick up the weapon and kill Rabbot with it. This may also happen if other enemies are nearby.

The auto-target system is dead accurate (when the target is moving in a predictive manner) but there are plans to tone it down in the future.

=Throwing=

Originally, weapons could only be used in close combat situations but in a165 throwing was introduced which added ranged combat to Rabbot's abilities. Throwing will almost always result in a kill on impact, players must factor in Rabbot's movement (rolling can mess up the throw, for example), and is easy to perform (there is an auto-target system implemented which doesn't require input from the player) but has a significant downside. If missed, the target may pick up the weapon and kill Rabbot with it. This may also happen if other enemies are nearby.

The auto-target system is dead accurate (when the target is moving in a predictive form) but there are plans to tone it down in the future.

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.

== [http://blog.wolfire.com/2009/03/dog-weapons-part-one-polearms/ Polearms] ==
The polearms are longer weapons, with some sort of blade affixed to the end of a pole, to allow for greater reach. This allows for dogs to wage battles against without allowing their enemies to enter close-quarters combat, limiting the effectiveness of natural weapons such as teeth and claws.
The dogs use three major types of polearm:

The dogs use single-edge blades on their swords and daggers, which they use at closer range than the polearms. The blades are a strong example of the rectangular motifs used in the dog culture, and carry a distinctive, polygonal-shaped blade. As with the polearms, there are three types of bladed weapons utilized by the dogs:

The dog warhammer is a massive weapon, and must be carried in both hands. It is very cumbersome and unwieldy in battle, but still remains commonly used by the leaders of [[clan Stone]], because of its cultural and historical significance (see below). Though cumbersome, the weapon is highly effective against heavily armored or unusually tough opponents.
