Valid Weather mode

[devil3_EN 1,030]

Hi!  ;) 
I think not bad But the bonus boxes the problem, But the bonus boxes see the light It will be good.  or do you think?

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.

All that can be done with TankiX but not this Tanki as it would need a lot of coding, higher PC specs etc.

Only thing u can hope for is, Firebirds get better burning effects on summer maps and freezes get better freezing effect in winter.

[Erik0015 1,607]

Good idea :). But even the weather without any effect should be interesting. Or just make option snow and rain, depending on summer/winter :D

[fordmustang12345 3,910]

Tanki Flash wouldn't be able to handle these updates. But sense so many people want Weather they would be able to and probably will add it to Tanki X

Must be for PRO BATTLES only.

Must be for PRO BATTLES only.

:lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

 

But anyway they will probably implement this to TankiX, not normal Tanki.

[sensei_tanker 3,098]

Regular Tanki can probably have rain or snow in it but it has absolutely no effect in the gameplay due to how basic Flash is. This needs to be implemented in Tanki X.

[sensei_tanker 3,098]

Will this idea cause more lag and a lower fps? 

[DarkOperative 5,580]

Pretty sure they would introduce something like this in TX, definitely.

 

Again pretty sure this would have quite an impact on someone's(already struggling) PC. Turning it on/off would be a good option, but then again what's the point of introducing such an idea if most players(I reckon) keep it turned off?

 

I support the idea however. Should open doors to amazing photoshoots/video content. Maybe make Tanki more enoyable :D

[BlueDragon_tamki 3,204]

^agreed

I have been waiting for this update since day one! I would love more variety like this to really test the skills of the players in weather such as hard rain or winds.

Must be for PRO BATTLES only.

No, I think this idea should be shared and enjoyed by all of the players. By adding this to PRO battles, this will cause lots of hard work by the devs developing be flushed down the toilet since not a lot of players will be playing on this mode. Think of it this way: Would you spend 5 dollars(5000 crystals) everytime you go outside when its raining or snowing?

Would love to see this in Tanki X. The earthquake idea is a little over the top in my opinion, but I think different weather environments would be immersive and make the game more enjoyable, even if it is just eye candy. 

[sensei_tanker 3,098]

I'm also adding another idea that goes hand-in-hand with this idea. It's a pretty simple idea: Adding Spring and Autumn to the maps. If you change it to Spring, the dead trees on the map will bloom flowers and petals will be on the ground. Autumn will do the opposite where all the vegetation turns fiery orange and there will be dead leaves on the ground. Stepping(Driving) on these dead leaves will cause sound effects. 

 

Edit:

 

And, of course, not all maps will support Spring and Autumn(For instance: Rio)

I really love the rain scenario and the earthquake one too but rather than creating cracks in the ground (which I think will take a long time to do for each map), you can have the whole map shaking, meaning that the screen could shake a little and maybe put you off your balance... or even mess up your shot! :D

This will truly be epic. I hope this gets implemented in TX if not here.

[VaudeVille 1,428]

Make Firebirds more effective on summer maps and same with freeze on winter maps. Vice versa decrease their effectiveness when they play on the map contrasting their burning and freezing their features.

No need to add any thing ornamental to the design of the map depending on the weather and let it be the way it is right now.

When I first started playing, I thought Firebirds and Freeze efficiency would depend on the weather map, but then I realized that it was strictly ornamental and didn't affect gameplay in any way.

Honestly this would be a interesting addition to Tanki X I support this ALL THE WAY!  :) ^_^

Make Firebirds more effective on summer maps and same with freeze on winter maps. Vice versa decrease their effectiveness when they play on the map contrasting their burning and freezing their features.

I like the idea and it could work out pretty well. The only setback I can think of is that summer maps are much more popular than winter maps. This is what I think of(Make completely with logic, not for balance): 

 

Summer Day Maps:

Firebird: +2.5 Damage, +5 Range, +5 Burn

Freeze: -3 Damage,  -5 Range, 70% Freezing Effects  

 

Summer Night Maps:

Firebird: +1 Damage, +3 Range, +2 Burn

Freeze: -1 Damage, -2 Range, 85% Freezing Effects

 

Winter Day Maps:

Firebird: -2 Damage, -5 Range, -5 Burn(m0 = no burn)

Freeze: +3 Damage, +10 Range, +125% Freezing Effects

 

Winter Night Maps:

Firebird: -5 Damage, -7.5 Range, -8 Burn(m0 = no burn)

Freeze: +4 Damage, +12 Range, +150% Freezing Effects

New Weather: Sandstorm

 

Basically sand blows everywhere causing it to be impossible to see in front of you. It causes strong winds to blow and it can easily knock your tank off balance. 

[sensei_tanker 3,098]

I think that I need to work on a way to make this less lag because I myself also experience low fps and high PING. Will there be less lag in Unity?
