Different night ambience depending on alignment/role

[Fred Wilson]

As of now, the night time looks and feels the same for all players. What if the night time was different depending on your role? It could illustrate better how each role experiences the night.

Here are a few examples:


Most of the town can keep the original camera-pan during the night
The Mafia can have their camera focus on a cafe or some other sort of mafia hideout
The Jailor can have their camera on a jail
If somebody is jailed that night, they see themselves behind bars
The mason can locate at some sort of chapel
The cult can locate at some demonic shrine
The mayor locates at some town hall after he reveals himself
The witch can be at some witch lair
The SK can be at some disturbing hideout
The Jester can see a carnival during the night
Escort works near a strip-club
BD is at a bus station


There could also be a different rendition of the night theme depending on your alignment.

You can do many creative things, like I said with someone who is jailed, or maybe disguiser after he sucessfully disguises.

Does anyone have any ideas? Any ways this can be improved upon? Feedback?

I kind of like this idea.
Would really immerse the users into the game.

[Fred Wilson]

That's what I was thinking. It adds overall value to the game and might help push -Mafia- back up the popular list.

[creedkingsx]

It's still page 1 at least :P
1.5 goes live tomorrow :D

How much scripting is required to accomplish this? I would say that it making it in should depend on how much script it hogs.

DR said he likes this idea. He has some room to play with on the map and to model stuff, so this might happen. probably.

[FrostByte]

+1 for this awesome idea.

Definite support from me... it'll add a little spice to the otherwise kind of lame night sequence (let's face it... how many night times have you seen in sc2maf in your life? Over a thousand for me, easy)

[Mugy]

+1 Considering there is room for this now

[Damus_Graves]

Yes. i would like this implemented.
+1

We're looking into this technical possibility.

[Fred Wilson]

For certain situations, the players in-game model could be incorporated. Someone who is jailed could see themselves behind bars. The mafia players could sit around a table, and so fourth. Just as long as it doesn't take up too much script/data. Hilarity would ensue with Megafunk.

I always thought the player models should do more in game then just stand in a circle.

Agreed. I'll try to push my idea in on the cutscenes during the discovery of bodies.



I like this idea alot! This should make a strong push to being implemented. No objections at all.

Any updates?

[creedkingsx]

Any updates?

People die at certain buildings now in game. It is the first step to this. :P

[Damus_Graves]

its amusing to see and watch people go whaat/?

[Ash]

i support this.

Fred you forgot the Mass Murderer :p

[Lazers]

It would be cool +1

[Damus_Graves]

lol its already happening

[Fred Wilson]

Fred you forgot the Mass Murderer :p

Mass Murderer lives at a shrine of Justin Beiber sex dolls and Twilight paraphernalia.

Also as I write this, lolno this isn't implemented. Should be on the Display Case but pending like Mass Murderer is.

It's being gradually implemented. Right now as detective you get a special camera animation. It's not much, and it loops like 4 times, but it's coolio

[Fred Wilson]

Oh I see. As a mayor you do some weird thing behind the mineral crates. Haven't revealed yet. Aaaand I'm dead.

I don't know why but I laughed uncontrollably

[EliteMarine]

This is must see.

Glad to see this approved.

I like the veteran one
