Valid Weather mode

[Bugs.meeny 1,013]

Cool idea, i ecpecially like the idea of winter mode

[Sr.I3oSS 2,546]

It is a good idea, though it changing physics is a bit urghhh disturbing. Would be efficient if we can turn it off in settings since I bet it will take a good PC/Laptop to hold a good FPS with it.

Probably won't happen, sorry, but the processing power required for these events would most certainly lag anyone with a low spec computer.

cool idea like +1

Probably won't happen, sorry, but the processing power required for these events would most certainly lag anyone with a low spec computer.

I'm currently thinking on a solution. Perhaps we can have a battle filter for "Non-Lag" Battles or a server for laggers only. Maybe people can go to this server and have only non-weather battles.

I hear a lot of players discussing about this but what I really want to hear is some Moderators such as Mafioso or Damn_Slow to see if whether or not if average computers/laptops can process this Weather Mode. 

[ELIZABETH1122 337]

Tanki has different seasons and different times of the day, but they don't really do much to the gameplay or the map. Changing seasons just changes the coloring of the map and changing the time of the day(night mode) only changes the lighting effects of the map.  

 

With weather mode, you can change the weather to any select weather form or you can change it so you can align the weather in the map with the weather outside your house(like real life). You can turn the volume up and hear the weather. 

 

You can change the extremeness of the weather on a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 would be like a tiny drizzle and 10 would be the storm of the century. 

 

Different types of weather:

 

1) Snow - Patches of Ice will start to appear on the ground causing your tank to slip uncontrollably if you cross the ice and there will be lots of snowflakes falling in the map. Freezes will have more effect and if you don't move your tank for a while, it will start freezing automatically. 

 

2) Rain - Rain will fall from the sky and lightning may start to appear in the background of the map(with a higher weather scale). You can hear the sound of thunder if there is lightning and lots of puddles can start to form. Your tank can make splashes in the puddles and if you are a very heavy tank, you can send waves flying around pushing around all of the other tanks in the puddle. You can set the scale to 10 and you have a flood where your tank has the ability to float around and turn into something like a boat. 

 

3) Fog - Lots of fog will appear on the map and your tanki window will start having fog appear on it it(so its kinda like first person). There will be lots of trouble aiming on fog mode and unlike night mode, the boxes won't glow to help you find the path. 

 

4) Wind - The vegetation on the map will start moving around and if you jump off ramps or simply fall in the map, your tank will start swaying and moving with the wind in the air. So, you can land like 100 meters from where you would have landed in normal mode. Your turret's bullet's direction may change according to the win so maybe flames from firebird can have extra range or spin and turn around in another direction. 

 

5) Earthquake - Cracks and holes appear on the ground and the entire map starts shaking, causing your tank to easily be unbalanced. A building that normally would be on the map may be destroyed in the beginning of the battle or it could actual fall and topple over in the duration of the battle, whereas tanks on it or underneath would be crushed to death. 

 

If tanki doesn't have this in the regular Tanki Online then I think that it is a must have in Tanki X.

A great idea!

Is the point of this to melt my PC's processor?

I mean, it's already loading an entire MMO in ONE TAB, and my music in the other.

[hammadroxx 17]

We dont even have night mode for all maps I dont think they will add this in tanki. Maybe in tankiX but again only in few selected maps.

About Night Mode, Tanki was gonna plan on adding that to all maps but it turned out to be not very popular since it only messed with the lighting effects of the popular maps. This idea of mine is different from nightmode because it changes the entire physical appearance of the map and maybe(not decided) the gameplay of the map. Anyways, if this idea does get implemented in TX, Im pretty sure the devs will start off with Silence, Rio, Kungur, Sandbox, Iran, and Massacre.

You can choose to not join any weather battles. On the battle list I will have the battles say that it is weather mode on with an icon. I'm sure there are many other players like you that will be happy to join non-weather battles. 

 

Edit:

 

Oh yeah and one more thing. If you want to help with your PING and FPS, I suggest you clear all other tabs to help it.

Well, the change in physics in many of them are just making your tank slide and move when you are not trying to make it move(so it's like driving in a direction without wanting to do that). I think we should ask a mod to see if this decreases fps a lot.

Its the way how to get rid of afkers! i like it but... then everyone will use SLOOOWW hulls not light and i hate it... and still laggy

 

2) Rain - Rain will fall from the sky and lightning may start to appear in the background of the map(with a higher weather scale).

Whats about LAGGS?

There will be lots of trouble aiming on fog mode and unlike night mode, the boxes won't glow to help you find the path.  Who will use it? And boes shouldnt glow at all..

If even TANK cant stand up against it? And what will happen if you shoot with twins or other turrets with slow projectile speed? Such as twins, rico. And whats about freeze, firebird? And it will LAGG!!!

 

5) Earthquake - Cracks and holes appear on the ground and the entire map starts shaking, causing your tank to easily be unbalanced. A building that normally would be on the map may be destroyed in the beginning of the battle or it could actual fall and topple over in the duration of the battle, whereas tanks on it or underneath would be crushed to death.  SOO LAGGY!!!

There should be night/day cycle in tanki. 24hours in tanki is 24 minutes? (1h=1min).

I suppose that if the seasons, weather, daylight changed within a game it might bring additional interest and problem solving.  If we had fog or very heavy rain that was patchy, then players would find things tougher,would also have to take more care of avoiding dangerous topographical features such as pits or drops, as well as locating and engaging the enemy.  I would quite enjoy playing some games like this.

But you wont be able. if you want, go play some battlefield. Cant run it? Then you wont run it in tanki too.

Think with your head!

Can you write that in English please!  I can not understand what you are trying to say.  I always understood that thought was done from inside ones head, thank you for confirming that. :)

Im not from english. But i know u arent SOO dumb to do not understand this. If you are, im feeling sad about you.

[Official-Kofi 29]

This would cause so much lag bearing in mind I already lag when I try to play in Berlin or in night mode

[ELIZABETH1122 337]

Well I simply can not understand what you have said.  I am very sorry!

I understand what he's trying to say

[ELIZABETH1122 337]

What, because I do not have a clue?

[DageLV 940]

What, because I do not have a clue?

This is not gonna hapen!

if you want weather, go play battlefield! Your pc cant run it?

Then in tanki your pc wont run it too!

Understood?

[sensei_tanker 3,098]

Guys calm down. If you disagree with my idea then politely explain why you do it or simply ignore it. Also, don't call people dumb and if they don't understand what you just said, then explain to them what you just said.

Okay. we don't agree with your idea because it's impossible, impractical, and would mean you need better hardware than what the game can currently support. Case closed.

Better Hardware?: Yeah I kind of expected this to happen. Well if that is the case then we should have the weather be a visual effect(no change to game physics) and that will lead to all new kinds of photoshoot and make the game seem more enjoyable. 

 

Impossible: No. We could do this. It just will lower your fps to a certain degree.

 

Impractical?: No, no, definitely not. Weather seems to be something missing to the maps and I think it is a must-have for Tanki X.
