Playing Krafties (as non-human)
- "I do not use a humanoid avatar, can I still play Krafties without looking weird?"
There is no restriction on who can play Krafties. This page will keep tabs on what can be done to enjoy the game without having to change avatars if you enjoy being non-human.
- You can play this game in any place that allows you to rez items, so you are not required to be on the Krafties main sim to enjoy the game.
What is possible?
Active Krafties Pet
- The "Creature Attatchement" in the Necessity Pack attaches to your avatar center, this means it is not effected by your avatar animations.
- If you enable "Orb Mode" on your active pet, it will become a orb above your avatar center, this is just their health orb. This will let it appear as if you are the one doing the fighting instead of your pet.
- You can click your Krafties pet to get settings that allow you to stop them from roaming around you and even disable their animations.
Tools
- You can make the Standard Capture Net invisible with crafting, this disables the animations and makes it not appear on your avatar. You can use a provided script to create an object with custom animations to be your unique capture net that triggers with the game. This still requires you to have the animations to put into the object to use and wear the provided tool attachment in necessity pack.
Possible limits
- The Home Temples have a 20 meter radius that it uses to detect nearby players, if nobody is within it's chat-range then it will not spawn wild creatures for you. This is based on the location of your avatar center.
- If your avatar is very large, then this might distort your perspective of distance, the wild creatures will dissapear if they do not detect anyone close enough to them.
- This might require you to stand closer to the temple/wild critters than comfortable if your avatar is very large.
- An example could be a Ancient Seawolf Dragon playing krafties, they might have to be sitting ontop of the Home Temple just to be able to fight the creatures that spawn. This will most likely make it difficult to click the creatures to interact with them.
- Currently there is no way to customize animations for using the Pickaxe when Mining, so you might have to tolerate some awkard animations in that case.
Krafties Main Sim
Just some pointers about the main sim. You can enjoy the game without ever having to set foot there, but there are some things you will have to keep in mind before jumping there.
- There is a rule against oversized avatars on Krafties main sim, so that might be your only restriction. This also includes if your avatar takes alot of invisible space (you will need to "view invisible" to check this) because it will disrupt gameplay for other players when they are unable to touch things with your avatar in the way.
- There is also a script limit in place that will warn you before ejecting if you happen to be over the limit. This is purely to keep lag at minimum.
