Life Hacks/Mods Guide/Adjust Local Settings

This section allow a player to alter the settings for the local aspects of physical "virtual" reality. To do this the local area must first be defined.

Define(Redefine) Local Area

This setting brings up an overhead map that allows a player to define the confines of a local area by tracing an outline on the map with their finger. Each server sets their own limits on the size of local areas. The server that hosts Xander's universe has set the limit to fifty square miles. You can only define a local area that has not already been claimed by another player (by them defining it). Each server sets their own limits on the number of local areas that each player can control. The server that hosts Xander's universe has limited claimed local areas to one per player. If the player has not already defined a local area, this is the only option that appears.

Settings

These are settings that alter the nature of physical "virtual" reality in the area. Memory management is automatic. People entering the area will believe that the laws of physics of the entire universe have always worked in the manner that they do in the local area, and will not remember anything strange about the physics of the area once they leave. Lifies will not attempt to leave a local area in a manner that cannot be sustained outside of it (e.g. if they can fly in the local area, but not outside of it, they will not fly out of the area). Players entering an area with different physical laws will be alerted to the changes upon entering the area, and given the username of the user claiming the local area.
