How maps appear as during the night.

Discussion in 'Ideas' started by Mokolee, Feb 19, 2014.

?

Should each individual map take place in a specific time of the day?

  1. Yes, it will brighten the interest and fun of the server.

    100.0%
  2. No, the light setting may have a disadvantage in gameplay.

    I looked back at these screenshots I took way back in November. These were taken when I was taken on a minigame server that had an Infect minigame like we do except they don't have guns or anything. What they did have however, are the maps we use on Mc-war. The screenshots shown below are Favela and Arkaden at night so I want you guys to tell your opinion on having not only Plaza as a nighttime map but other maps as well. In fact, we should have maps that take place in a morning and sunset time as well. So what do you think about having maps appear during different times of the day? I'll also provide examples of what time the maps should be in.

    2013-11-09_21.05.33.png
    2013-11-09_21.05.35.png

    Some examples of maps with their own time settings:
    Hijacked: Sunset/evening
    Dday: Sunrise/Morning (Like the original Dday in history)
    Plaza: Night
    Carrier: Sunset
    Showdown: Sunset
    Shipment: Night


    Is there any other examples that you could add on to the list of maps with their own timezones? Feel free to do so while leaving your response on this suggestion.

    Amazing, I know this idea was posted before, but this time there's actual screenshots showing how cool the maps would look. I give my support for night time maps definitely. ;3

    The map I made, Sandstorm:

    Looked pretty intense at nighttime, but the problem is that I never got to play on this map (even though it got accepted).
    Night maps would be so cool.

    I actually have a copy of the MC-War map, which I used to search for OOMs (found quite a few .-.). I'll take some screenshots of some of the maps at night later. Admittedly, a lot of the maps look good in the dawn, sunset, or night.

    I would love to have some of the maps set in dawn/night. It would bring different moods to the maps, giving them a variety. I would love to see more screenshots of night maps :smile:

    I remember the glitch a while back that threw of the day/night cycle in game. It was natural, so if games went on long enough you could get a screen of every map. The spawn at night looked really cool. This was, of course, patched. Anyway else remember this?

    I remember that. I thought it was intentional, not a bug. Besides, it was really cool. I believe that even though it was a glitch, it should be added again. That was so cool, having a daylight-nighttime cycle.

    I was there at the time, I really want it back so the time of the maps would be different every time you played.

    Found something while exploring in Essentials. /ptime
    It allows the server to set a player's client time. So it could be night for the player, but be day in the server. What if we had an option (/toggletime) that when used, changes the player time at appropriate times? If you have this option disabled, it would always be day, but if you had it enabled, it could be night, sunset, etc. while being noon for those who don't want to play at night.

    I feel like that gives an advantage to players who use day only.

    It is totally optional. If you don't want to use it, you don't have to. However, if you want to use it, then sure.
    Thought of another idea. It automatically sets the time of anyone in the game to (time). Kind of like this idea better, to be honest.

    Make it by default always day. You are taking the risk of chaining times, so you can not blame anyone but yourself. Plus, you could always change back I guess.
    EDIT PLEASE READ: If we want to discuss this 'idea' for day/night cycles, I would suggest one of us make a thread and move there. We are sorta getting off topic with the subject.
