Day/Night is Coming - 2

Craftz · 02-20-2013

Why not just make the entire map darker for night except for in buildings, kinda like the light orb furniture item.

Just make a Daylight setting in Options...fixes the issue of who wants light or not, I'd say.

Sorry, I don't have a screenshot/video to show, but if you go onto the server Corinthia, buy the pickaxe, and get into the mine, the farther away you are from a lantern the darker your screen gets. Would this work?

Sorry, but providing the option to turn off the effect just ends up with everyone turning off the effect. I mean ya, people leave it on for a little while at first if it looks cool.... but then the novelty wears off and they prefer the advantage of seeing over the pretty effects. Then all that time and effort is wasted because you just end up with what you had before.

Don't they do this on UN? I swear i've seen it and it would be a really fun addition

It's a lot easier to make something for a pc server since you aren't as limited by resources such as weak mobile GPU/CPU/ small amounts of RAM, and Classic iPhone also is significantly more crowded.

Dusty · 02-20-2013

It's also pretty much just cosmetic on UN. It serves absolutely no purpose and I can't think of anyone who has it enabled. If you're going to add day/night, it should at least provide some sort of purpose to justify what can be pretty invasive changes in visibility and gameplay.

Itd be cool if At night bandits spawn in graal city and black market dealers appear who sell badass ninja gear and stuff.

Possibly, but for multiple light sources it may look a bit cheesy. It'd have a much better effect for smaller resolutions(like 2nd gen ipod) but the effect would look a lot worse on larger resolutions like the iPad/Retina, as you're trying to portray the effect over a much larger visual area.

It may be something worth toying with though.

This effect is already on iClassic. It's in that building with the hole above it in Onnet Town.

Got to love getting killed by the heat

I'm positive I'm the only one who has weather system enabled on UN. Waste of resources imo

I would love a day/night cycle.
