Kernel Panic is a mod about computers. Bits and bytes wage war in a matrix of DOOM! The only resources are time and space, there is no metal or energy economy in KP. Since all units are free, every factory you have will be spamming units at all times. You can build more factories, but only on geothermal vents. KP makes for a very fast-paced, action-oriented game, and has a very unique graphical style.


This mod is meant to be played on the map "Marble Madness":


For single player please see NTai for KP.


For comments, post in the official Kernel Panic thread!


Kernel Panic 0.7 + KDR edit 8 + zwzsg edit 1, is: Now officially Kernel Panic 1.0!

Concept : Boirunner About everything: KDR_11k Sounds: Noruas Couple sfx textures: zwzsg

Since KDR edit 8: - New smoke! - New water texture! - New pointer shot trail! - New icons for all! - Halved arty pointer shell speed. - Reduced its reload time by 33%. - +28% hp for bytes. - Second side identical to first so scripts hard coded into Spring.exe work.


Units and Buildings:


The Kernel: You start with one of these. It can build all mobile units in the game. Has rapid auto-heal and lots of health.


The Socket: The socket is a factory which can only be built on a geothermal vent. It can solely build bits, and slower than the kernel can. It autoheals, and has a decent amount of health.


The Assembler: The assembler is a construction unit. It can build sockets, but it cannot assist-build or repair. Slow, little health.


The Bit: Your basic attacking unit. Cheap, fast, small, not very much health. Is armed with a SPARCling laser. Can be built by a kernel or a socket.


The Byte: A large, strong, and slow attacking unit. Can holds it's own against many bits, as it has lots of health and a powerful cannon.


The Pointer: An artillery unit. Is almost useless against moving units, but can kill kernels and sockets pretty quickly. Is slow and has little health, so it needs protection.


The Logic Bomb: A mine that can be built by the Assembler. It takes out Bits in a single blow, has a decent damage radius, and doesn't chain explode. Use with care, as it hurts your own units too.
