Request: Flares, Glowsticks, anything?

[HaTeMe]

Alright, so...

Like the title says, Im requesting a mutator for - well - anything that provides some extra light in dark areas, such as glowsticks or flares. Im fully aware that WTF-mutator has flares and what not but I need something like that in a separate mutator without any other custom stuff.

Basically this would be included with my Lights Out maps, to provide players with alternative ways of creating light in the environment. It would be perfect if these flares or glowsticks could be bought from the trader as a new item, so youd have to spend money and sacrifice space to get some additional light.

Ive asked this from quite a few coders and modders in this forum but no-one seems to be interested so I thought Id make a topic and see if I can catch anyones attention.

Still seems like no one cares. Unfortunate.

Well Im not surprised because everyones more interested in new weapons and what not.

What if I offered a payment for anyone who could do this? Of course nothing unreasonable since its gonna be for the good of the community rather than for my owm purposes but Id really like to see this.

Well I got this flaregun model and yomamassis animated it forever ago but all that went down in a harddrive crash, apparently.

Yeah...

On side note:

Some sort of flare/glowstick/flashlight mut would be perfect here, seeing as I want to keep the scary factor of minimal lighting and provide players with more places to hold out in.

And yes I know the vid could be a lot better but consider it as a pre-preview lol. (and in case you didnt realize by now its West London, one version of it at least).

I also thing that glowsticks would be a very good idea, maybe a gl with flares and glowsticks to throw,

yep so it would be possible to make a more interesting gameplay, for example you have to use glowsticks, that last some minutes, in a complete dark room to see anything and you cant carry very much so you also have to work togehter.
Maybe I will make something like that, glowsticks in all colours



@SgtHermann: do you mean jack and me?

I'll see what I can do on my spare time HateMe. Working double shifts this week but I have been working on glowsticks for my space map and I could separate the flare gun from WTF Mut, I'll try working on it this upcoming week.

Yeah, if youd have to purchase them from the trader and they weighted eg. 1 block or something, youd have to sacrifice money and space if you wanted to light up some areas. Would also require some tactical thinking so you dont just drop them off at random places

I was working on a flare a while back, seemed to work pretty well on the darker maps. Only problem with dynamic lights is that they pretty much fail on terrain like in KF-Farm....

I would've helped but got plenty of stuff to do right naow & I'd need a coder for this
