bbcokeley Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 A search on here brought up nothing on the subject so.... I was playing with the other half on Saturday and when she died and became a zombie she was just watching her corpse shuffle about. and letting me know which one she was so i could retrieve her stuff. Would it be possible to have a kind of spectator mode /observation mode so we can TAB about the map (only the pre existing zombies/npcs) it would be fun to just observe, like watching a drama unfold. It could also lead to a kind of fun drinking game when the npcs are released, take a shot every time they kill a zed? Win a tener (£10 for non britts) for being the last npc standing. I kind'f like spectating some times, could this be a possible thing or would it be too hard to implement?

FireOnAsphalt Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I'm not sure if this falls under one of the confirmed "No's" in the Commonly Made Suggestions thread... ([n] First Person or other viewpoint changes including camera rotation) BUT I like this idea! As someone who watches Let's Play videos on Youtube and occasionally spectates a League game or two, I'd be down for watching some people play some Zomboid while eating or drinking-- particularly when someone hops through a window only to find themselves hugging a few undead friends they didn't know they'd have a few seconds prior. bbcokeley 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verence Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I'm not sure if this falls under one of the confirmed "No's" in the Commonly Made Suggestions thread... ([n] First Person or other viewpoint changes including camera rotation)It doesn't, because it doesn't require the game engine to be changed from isometric to full 3D.

Yeh, the idea is the same as when you die, you have zero controll over the camera or anything, its simply what the player is seeing.Could be fun, especially for the spectators and gamblers alike (jk), no idea if it is hard to implement tho, cant imagine swapping between active players/nps/zombies would be too difficult given they should have some sort of ID?

Jericoshost Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I think there is a cheat mod where you can become undetectable by the AI and have unlimited stamina.You could observe that way, unless it is added officially, but even so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blasted_Taco Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Well right now the Devs have used some sort of weird specter mode for the NPCs, the last NPCs videos show the NPCs just looting and crafting stuff without the players aid, it would be very cool to have that in SP, just watching a NPC survive and learn how they play. bbcokeley 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewydeadmike Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I would enjoy watching npcs go about and seeing how they interact in the world without the help of a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly this. I have a feeling that the devs would view this as a feature they'd implement once they get more prominent and important things finished, but I have a feeling they could definitely accomplish this. When I get home after a long shift, I like to come home, heat up some leftovers (I work second shift -- 'till 2am) and watch some Youtubers play some games. Lately, I've taken a liking to ManBearPig; he plays a lot of PZ and has an interesting accent to boot. This would accomplish the same exact thing, only in real-time. bbcokeley and Kuren 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arkahys Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 +1 Spectator mod is frequent on MP games but how prevent new player to spoil the map before connect to play. Jericoshost 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
