Piff Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 Name: Piff | Dash-29 RP Rank: Commander Suggestion: Make the map night time Implementation: Basically change the map to look like the Titan base to where its night time instead of daytime, i think this would look cool on Geonosis since it would be harder to navigate and since i'm pretty sure its already hard to make different parts of the map either day or night it could just be made all night, As well, this would give a better feel to Umbara and Anaxes since and possible Endor since Umbara is already seen to be dark and we've seen a Night time Anaxes and Endor Lore: None Workshop content if applicable: None 1 “I’m not toxic, It’s just hard not to treat you like an idiot” ~ Logic

Nova_ Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 +1 I think it would be cool if there was some sort of night/day cycle
Eclipse Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 I think this is a case by case thing where a staff can make it night time if it calls for it/if people want it. Yes, I do hate fat people. Former Ordo, Niner, Tech, Fixer, and more!

Arizona Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 +1 Since we got the box we should see if the server can now handle stormfox
Orion Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 +1 But i think we can balance it out and change it time to time or make it automatic your favorite Puertorican in the Server

Fyi Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 It's not really as easy as just "setting it to nighttime". Maps have to be set up to accomodate nighttime, from my understanding. If the new map has that kinda feature, it'd be cool. hi.

Pog Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 -1 Would be cooler to see a day/night cycle (if that's even possible). Right now staff can just edit the sky rather than making it a full time change. Former: Jedi Youngling

Matt-Matthos Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 Didn’t we use a night and day addon a while back? Anyways +1
Foxey Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 I don't want the map to just be perma-night. That'd be kinda dumb, I like the sun. If the next map update can include some way to make it night and day with a cycle, then sure thing. +1

Right now staff can just edit the sky rather than making it a full time change. The issue with that is the lighting, when you “set” it’s not really setting it and the lighting since the map is day time on default, the daytime lighting is still there 8 hours ago, Fyi said: It's not really as easy as just "setting it to nighttime". Maps have to be set up to accomodate nighttime, from my understanding. If the new map has that kinda feature, it'd be cool. Well, it’s not easy, but it’s more simple to “set” the map to one or the other since it’s a command when making the map itself that messes with the lighting and how the map looks, if I remember correctly you would have to use a command to have a map fade from one lighting value to another so it’d either gradually increase from one value to another, but the issue is with this, it would start to add lag and that is basically the issue with having day and night systems, that’s why it’s a lot better and more stable when you have only one set time, you could also get rid of the “cycle” all together and just be able to change the time of day instead since having it naturally fade and change times would cause too much lag so basically TLDR; It’s possible to do a night/day cycle through hammer or source SDK whatever you want to call it, but it causes lag on large maps like ours and It would be more stable if we’d be able to change it directly from day to night without the fading away off day or night or just having it as one set time or value better said in terms of doing it in hammer also forgot to add, even by doing this there’s still some shadows that are going to be messed up which can be fixed by lights, but they still are kinda annoying, and also addons are not the way to go for a day and night system cause that’s how you kill frames and their the buggiest shit alive Edited March 14, 2021 by Piff “I’m not toxic, It’s just hard not to treat you like an idiot” ~ Logic

Marvel Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 -1 I would prefer to keep it day unless we found some way to add a night/day cycle. I don’t want to look around to see everyone with their flashlights on all the time because it’s just a wee bit dark personally. 2

It’s possible but you’d be giving up some server performance during the cycle so unless it was set to a certain time for a while it would help with performance cause when it’s changing time of day is when it’ll lower performance and also like I said I would say addons aren’t the best option and instead get it into the map itself and I mean I would say it’d be better for a vote to be made about it Edited March 14, 2021 by Piff “I’m not toxic, It’s just hard not to treat you like an idiot” ~ Logic

Babatunde Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 if within the next updates we can have it where it manually changes then that would be great but relaying on staff members to constantly change it could have some problems come up so for now -1. If a GM wanted to do a night event they could.

justuscloud5 Posted March 15, 2021 Posted March 15, 2021 Hrm I made a suggestion about 1 1/2 years ago for a day night cycle hopefully it comes back. But for now I'm gonna have to -1 night time isn't ready yet but I think a day night cycle would fit best.

Zensras Posted March 16, 2021 Posted March 16, 2021 Is it doable? Yeah. I’m not sure how much it would take us from what we have, but it would be a pain in the ass. Do people want it? With Sky Editor, you can do this to a degree and people seem to enjoy it. the issue we had previously was the fact it was an add on causing lag but if we were to get it incorporated into map it shouldn’t be an issue +1. IT Department, DID YOU TRY TURNING IT OFF AND ON AGAIN?

Mantis Posted March 16, 2021 Posted March 16, 2021 -1 Feel like the whole map would need a lighting change to give it that night time feel like titan base. However if it does effect the lighting without effecting anything then feel free to disregard my vote

Aeon Posted March 16, 2021 Posted March 16, 2021 (edited) I feel as though this isnt being percieved in the sense it is, i believe he is wanting a Night and Day cycle in which nighttime you would have trouble seeing and makes “Dark Theme” events more inticing i would say yes since using editors changes nothing but the skys look for the map and it honestly looks dumb giving a night and day cycle would give units like RC and Recon a better immersion in their Roleplay within +1 Edited March 16, 2021 by Aeon

Finn Posted March 16, 2021 Posted March 16, 2021 18 hours ago, Stormzyyy said: You can, I placed all 3 editors in the staff room for people to use. The only issue with the editors is that they don't actually change light levels on the map. It's nice to see a night sky, but it doesn't look so hot when the ground is still just as bright as before. Honestly the most immersive thing would be to integrate the map lighting into a mod like stormfox. It's not too hard to set up in hammer, and the results are really cool. As cool as a night version of a map is, or even just a day/night cycle, it doesn't compare to having lights and shadows accurately react to the time of day or weather. It'd be cool for events too. Probably won't happen, cause pretty much every outside light source would need to be changed, but a man can dream.
