As you play the map it will peridoicly grow dark every now and then, im not sure how dark yet. But dark enough for it to be an inconceince...

During this night time mode,an icon in the shape of a sniper's sight will float above the ground and rotate like the intel (in various locations across the map) walking over to this and through it, grants you night vision, so when you go into iron sight mode, you can see better but with a green tint.

Another floating icon, also randomly generated, will look like a red pistol, its a flare gun, you point it in the air and fire, this sends an orb of light into the air with illuminates the environment for hundreds of blocks. and slowly floats down.

So, what do you guys think?

also think torch would be good :)

but i dont really like night vision because its the sort of thing that people would get pissed off with :)

what i also think is you should be able to dig under rivers :)

The concept of night I can find interesting. As for other ideas, I can't say. :/

Nighttime is the big idea, the others were just afterthoughts =].

If night time fighting gets featured in the updates to come, the campers/ snipers will be rejoicing.

I want a flare to warn my teammates of enemies, or to brighten a tunnel, OR OR OR we could be able to set the enemy tent on fire.

^ uhh perhaps, i just though ti would be good for coverig the approach to your intel, so everyonce in a while throw a flare up and see if any green scum and sneaking up on you.

Ah nighttime. A largely suggested and welcome idea. But how does it work?
IMO a day/night cycle.
However the biggest problem is the items we would use at night.
I think nightvision goggles should be a default item in your inventory. When equipped it would make the vision have a green tint and somewhat brighter. However, use it when it's bright and you're blind. The only problem I see with that is accidental usage in broad daylight and the fact greens may have the bonus of being harder to notice in the dark.

Starlight scope is a strange thing. Perhaps that would give an excuse to bring in the Sniper Rifle? After all, it's hard to aim with night vision goggles on, and a battle rifle just wouldn't have one.

I like the idea of a flare gun. In a different way. It would instead take over the pistol slot (Once we get handguns) and come with 10 flares (1 loaded). It is projectile (not hitscan) and has an arc. Instead of slowly falling, it would simply glow brightly once it has been shot for 5 minutes + flight time.It will burn indefinitely unless you mine out the block it was in. Does glow in the water. If you hit someone with it, they take 20 damage and is blinded for 5 seconds. Reload time is 75% of the SMG's. If flames are put in, take away the damage and just make them catch on fire. The speed it falls is slightly slow though, so it's good for warnings, alerts, signals, and revealing yourself. Can be seen about 100 blocks after fog.

I have a little blurb in my thread about night time.

If we're going to have a night-time feature, we need to feature muzzle flash as well.

^^^
YES. Muzzle flash is boss.
You know, I feel like if we get too in-depth with these things, there's going to be a stage of things like attachments.

^ Scared that things will turn out like CoD?

Seriously though, muzzle flash would be a great way to balance out night-time sniping/ camping

Yes.
But yeah, if there is night, the tracers would be brighter and there needs to be muzzle flash

The thing we would all have to think about is the Voxel Engine and it's lighting system, so during nighttime, all blocks turn into a darker shade and the contrast is brought down a bit and also the sky texture is dimmed. And things like muzzle flash, tracers, flares, when emitted would cause the voxels around it to turn brighter and the contrast on those (and only those) voxels to be brighter.

^ Good observation bro.

I'm pretty sure it is not implemented in the current engine yet, so Ben is going to have to do quite a bit of coding.

yes night is a good sugestion and new bulding thing is good 2 u can make your owne tent

Wut new building thing?
