Weather in the buy menu, possible?

[Limi]

Is it even possible to have purchasable weather? Ie. like the storm you see on the passing, the very heavy rain and wind. Would be an awesome thing to for the infected to be able to purchase. Even possible?

[Test]

there is a plugin for that.

i have tried it before, and it looks cool. not sure if this plugin is "balanced" in terms of versus gameplay.

That would be neat. Gets hard to see stuff when that happens.

I want a new option for the infected where it announce a fake message about a player buying a tank.

That would actually be pretty funny.

Should also make the tank music start ;P

 

Another buy option could be to have disabled tank music, or disabled HUD messages (ie. remove the "Tank 1/1 alive" ones) so it's hard to tell if a tank is actually still alive or not.

 

 

But back to weather, I think that this could make playing maps quite refreshing, certainly make them different and creates some interesting team work buying tactics for infected. So then not only would it be, get unannounced tank then buy, but also have someone with enough points to create a storm and *then* buy a tank.

 

Could be that you can only buy so many, like how survivor re-spawns work to avoid them just being spammed over and over or just have a cooldown, once every X minutes.

If you want hard, why not just make the tank totally invisible.

Serious. Add Super Tanks!! Of course, with low HP so that it will become balanced in a way..

the tanks 1/2 alive thing is already a thing. its called tank limit unannounce i think but its not really any use unless you have 2 really good teams with a lot of tanks constantly coming in

 

+1 on the weather thing, would make survs more fun. altho it would suck to play in when the majority of your team doesn't look around...

[Static]

although i want to keep this topic about the weather i feel something should be done about the tank music when tank unannounce is on kinda defeats the purpose

[Garychios]

I had invisible tank on another server. Was an option along with health upgrade. One tank will take out entire team. LOL

I like it.

 

Anyway, the weather purchase is a cool add-on. Since many people have played the maps so much, it makes it challenging if survivors can't tell where to go.

Why not take the weather/low visibility thing a step further? I've always wanted the ability to activate Realism Mode.

you want one step further? why not add custom mutations? just search for it, there are hundreds of them.

[PeanutButterNJelly]

Weather - would be cool

 

Buying a fake tank buy message would be AWESOME

 

The rest of the things, please no

[Test]

I don't know why would someone waste points just to buy a fake tank message? Are the survivors going to freak out and run immediately to the saferoom? Are they going to throw molotovs all over the place?

if it plays music for maybe 15-30 secs it would be a good buy

 

making it more complicated now but would it be possible to choose who to display as "__ bought a tank"

Depends how many points it cost. If it was 30 points, obviously it would never be used. It would be funny though. It could also slow down a group or make them move back to a defensible position, giving your team more time to gain points for a real tank.

Of course.

Rather than buying, have the weather concept be implemented for the winning survivor team at the beginning of each map if the score difference is huge. I didn't find the weather to be that detrimental in Hard Rain, doubt it would do much as a buy option.

 

Buying a fake tank message would announce who bought it just like buying a real tank. It shouldn't cost too much or too little because there are 10 opposing players trying to catch your bluff. 4/5 points is a good setback since it should mostly use as a method to buy time or cause paranoia. It's like those times where you just needed that 3 extra seconds to spawn correctly in position.

I see it more as temporary weather, rather than a complete switch. Say each purchase lasts for 3-5minutes so that you use it strategically.

 

If it was a permanent switch you could perhaps could allow the survivors an option to reset it back to normal for points?

 

Presumably if you change weather on an indoor map like Dead Center not much happens?
