Margera Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Does anyone have any idea how this could be used by developers? Just the work of these guys looks amazing, but the concept of quiet start of the game at the beginning of the zombie apocalypse does not allow developers to add these sprites ( http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=869449336&searchtext= Or do you think it's better to leave it as a mod for someone who wants it?

thiosk Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 (edited) Actually, the erosion system is already in. In certain urban centers, you could have these features appearing as "erosion" of urban sprites. It might look a little choppy, so perhaps it could be tied to NPC activity. For example, the longer the NPCs were dicking about in a house, the more of this stuff would replace the original sprites.

Margera Posted May 23, 2017 Author Share Posted May 23, 2017 I translated your message for a long time and finally I succeeded! Yes it's a great idea, it's beautiful! thnks thiosk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe. I think the designers would have to decide how to do it. The process of replacing one tile with another over time- after one year in game, most of the roads are broken and the houses are all covered with vines. SO it makes sense after a few years that most of the refrigerators won't work-unless you got new ones from electronics stores maybe? the land gets very ugly after 1 year. This is why i think sprites should change only when "NPC" characters or human characters are within 60 tiles, and the longer you're there, the more likely it is that the house would get look more "used". Many more sprites could be added so that every object could have many "looks." Maybe the bullet hole fridge becomes "broken" but the one with magnets works perfectly. Or they all keep working. Or they wear out over time and get ugly the more you use them!

xXxFANCYCAPYBARA36xXx Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 it would be cool if they added something like ransacked looking containers (partially opened fridge and cupboards), couches that are missing a cushion and overall tons of dirt and dust all over things Soul Filcher, DramaSetter, DresdenBBQ and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rekkie Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I'm really liking your idea @Margera. It makes the world feel more lived in, and would go great in combination with NPC characters as @thiosk suggested. Interestingly you gave me an idea. The mapping tool I've been working on converts the game lot files (map files) to editable TMX/TBX files which WorldEd and TiledZed can open... I could easily add a custom editable filter, which _randomly_ swaps out selected stock sprites and replaces them with other sprites of the same category. Who knows, I may add this feature anyway because I've been considering expanding what the tool can do. Margera and Soul Filcher 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
