Architecture
The game is seperated in a Client and Server Software.
The client gets data and visualizes it.
The Server gets commands and sends out data.

Controling the player
The players move forward, backward, strafeleft and right with player defined keys(menu). They can rotate their view, look up and down with moving the mouse. They can jump by pressing the jumpkey and crouch by pressing the correspodending key to that. They pick up weapons and ammonition by simply running over it. Special items have to be picked up with the use key and later use them by pressing the itemkey. The usekey can also be used to go inside vehicles or press buttons.(vehicles might be included later)
GameFlow
The player can join other games or build his own server and join there. If the player is on the server he will see an ingame menu with three options:
-Join (depending on gamemode here two buttons redteam blueteam)
-spectate
-leave
Ckliking join means he will spawn in the game world.
Spectate will simply close the window and the player is able to fly around
leave will leave the server
This menu can be reached during the whole game by pressing esc.
Changing the team in a team gamemode will cause a 5 points penalty.
When u die u drop ur equipted gun so everyone else can pick it up and the camera will rotate for five seconds around ur dead body...then u respawn. If u press esc within this time u lose a point for every second that was left and u wont respawn until u press join again.
When u pickup a droped/placed gun u gain the gun and 10 shells ammo for that gun even if u already got the gun u get the 10 shells. Placed ammo packs can have different ammount of ammo inside depending on the settings made in the leveleditor. Same with amor jackets and health packs.
Physic
The physicsengine will handel the collsion between the players and the level. And the bullets and the bodyparts of the player. The cal3d animation tool allows to get bounding boxes for every bone so the these boxes will have a special material which collide with the bullets. The player collisionspheres which are used for levelcolliding don't collide with bullets.
Network
Player send actions and request to the server. Actions can be move forward or stuff like that, requests like requesting the levelstate at the beginning.
The Server sends changing data to the players like moving a player droping and item or picking one up.
