More in-depth description (containing algorithms and implementation
details) can be found here
Player versus player (PvP) combat can be done only in certain areas.
Therefore, players can fight each other, however, special game rules apply in such case.
Skull is a type of overhead property of the player.
Traditionally, the player is not skulled. A player becomes
skulled if he initiates a fight with another player in PvP area.
That means, that if someone attacks you in the PvP area, and you attack
him in return, you will not get skulled, but he will.
If player is skulled, the skull lasts until death, or until timer is depleted.
If, however, the player attacks someone in the PvP area, resulting him to get skulled,
the skull timer is reset instead (prolonged).
If player is skulled and he dies no matter the location,
he will drop all his items on the floor.
The items will be visible to player who dealt most damage to him,
and after some period of time, visible to anyone.
Dying with skull removes the skull overhead property
There are various types of skulls.
They all have same property as explained above,
but in addition, they are displaying to everyone approximate
wealth carried by owner.
The skull types are in following table:
Wealth | |
---|---|
0 - 1000 | |
1000 - 100 000 | |
100 000 - 2 000 000 |
