yaziyo Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 May I sugest you go to visit draynor manor. It looks like nightime there, here's a screenshot, on max brightness and 100% unedited. One solution to day-night could be each day being only a few hours long. Eg 3 hours is one 24 hour cycle. But I don't like the solution of having to carry lamps, unless it doesn't take an inventory space, as it could ruin a lot of set ups. On the GTA games, each second of real time is one game minute, which leads to 24 minute days. That would be an interesting idea although the days would be too short. If you were to have 3 hour days, each 7 and a half seconds would be one minute, which seems reasonable. And you could have a clock in one of the corners. Some games do not mix...

Dire_Wolf Posted July 16, 2008 Author Share Posted July 16, 2008 I am currently working on a Light source suggestion, which solves "It's so dark as it is". It will defintely bright up the surroundings very nicely : Not bad, but night has to be blue-ish instead of black-ish because then we don't see anything. Sometimes it's already bad enough with brightness at max. *I agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercifull Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 There are already areas of the map which are in perminant darkness such as morytania. I think this would be a bad idea Mercifull <3 Suzi "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape. If we let players start doing this, it devalues RuneScape for others.

Naruto_1001 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Anyone played the game Diablo? Well there aint a night and day setting in it, but they got something Jagex could use. Your hero gives light, why? Because hes a hero! :) Well we could be hero's aswell and give light too, right? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezz Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I guess it could change from night to day and day to night every 3 hours or something, that would be rather cool. [insert birds flying in a circle here]Yes, that sig was annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercifull Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 On some peoples monitors the dark areas in runescape are almost pitch black already. Having a night mode would mean some people wouldnt be able to play RS at all as it would be too dark. Mercifull <3 Suzi "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape.

Having a night mode would mean some people wouldnt be able to play RS at all as it would be too dark. My new suggestion that i am gonna suggest : involves light. Theres a reason everyone has lights in their house. There's a reason the cities is filled with light when it's night... THERE also a reason Light sources are made in Runescape: AND I am gonna show you that, : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercifull Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 What happens if your light goes out? Or you drop it? Or if you light automaticly how does that work with the canon of Runescape when you need lights for quests?

It will provide great light wherever you go. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dire_Wolf Posted July 16, 2008 Author Share Posted July 16, 2008 I don't think much can make a lit candle go out, expect monsters and so on...and if it is that candles go out after a while then Jagex can simply make it last based on "Duration"... so let's say you got a candle : you use it and it says "Candle: 100%"...meaning it has 100% duration left. Once it hits 0, it will disappear and you gotta buy a new candle at general shop. 2nd i don't know what u mean by how it will affect quests. 3rd If you go lumby swamps a candle or watever will provide light for you....further more candles is a risk.

Shadiochao Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Sounds interesting. Also probably alot of work needed. Unless Jagex started already, I can't see them finishing within this year if they were planning it. Decent use for firemaking too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if the light runs out to 0% while in the wildy and it goes pitch black? "omg jajexx i losted my items in wildy died when light went out give stuff back !!11112oneoen" In certain quests you need a specific kind of light source to go to relevant areas, how would it work when you have a perminant light source which you weild instead?

Xx_Flare_xX Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 They could always make a 'night' option in the log-in screen (under detail) so you can choose whether you want to see daylight or night (having a clock option may upset those that go on at different times) "omg it's always dark!"

Dire_Wolf Posted July 16, 2008 Author Share Posted July 16, 2008 That it being "Night" does not mean you can't see anything, it means it's darker with effects of "Night"...Some guy on thread said it should be "blue" not black and i agree. A blue atmosphere covering the game....with some effects. So if you go wilderness it will be easy to get around, but it will be a bit darker and gloomy. Also there are ALOT LIGHT SOURCES in Runescape. Example: Mining guild , there is torches (they are not so good but thats a example). So Clearness of game won't change much. Also, those certain quest you mention is probably "Fist of guthix" and "Lunar Diplomacy"....Sapphire Lantern and Emerald Lantern. For your info, these can also be "USED" to provide LIGHT! So there is serveal choices of light resources. Where candle is poorest. (Emerald and Sapphire lanterns by the way is best choice) and you can wear one and take it off, just like a weapon. Here's how i was thinking it will look.. But this is a screenshot i made. Jagex can make it tons better. \ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercifull Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Those were not the quests i was talking about. Think boots of lightness or haunted mine.

Mercifull Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 The point is that you need to collect a light source in order to light up the area. If you had a wieldable light source for everywhere it would cut out a part of the quest. Mercifull <3 Suzi "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape.

Mercifull Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Weildable light sources which have a timer (not miners helmet) do not work with the canon (storyline) of runescape. That aside there are technical reasons why its not feasable which I have also explained. Mercifull <3 Suzi "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape.
