Death Messages!!1!

[Hybrid]

I seem to recall mentioning this in the TUT suggestion forum, but someone sat on it, and now I can't find it.

Anyway, if kills are announced to the entire server (As they realistically should be, as killing someone is a LOT louder than BJing, which isn't shown ) in NB, then they MUST HAVE QUIRKY KILL MESSAGES.

Alright, see, here we go: http://forums.blackcatgames.com/showthread.php?t=1024 is the old thread. Everyone agrees that it should be included!

[modetwo]

Agreed.

[SimpsonsChristmasBoogie]

Maybe the best player on the winning team should get to have a sentence that comes up on everyones screen at the end of the match.

We tend to call it a chat mesage...

[Swiss Mercenary]

How about, the name of the best player will appear all over your screen, with the words: YOU HAV3 AL BIN PANWWWED BAI ____________________ appearing all over the screen, untill they cover it, and your computer reboots.

When there are already so many people ignoring teamwork ingame to try and get the shiniest score possible, adding MORE factors to a personal score that's already meaningless seems a bad idea. It only encourages more showboating and ignoring teamplay. I hope NightBlade won't even have personal scores.

The score adds suggested here are way too high, in any event.

I don't like the idea of personal scores, but I wouldn't mind statistics.

Good point. Rats likes the stats.

As part of the reallistic/immersivnes that Nightblade intends to create there will be no:
Death/knockout Messages
Score list
Post Game Carnage Report

Ontop of that for further immersivness the option to chat has been removed. Real taffers use handsigns to communicate as to make as little noise as possible.

Lastly, the current HUD you have seen in a few screenshot is only meant for debugging. In the final version the hud will only contain a lightgem, compass and weapon images without any ammo count (No taffer would be able to count all those bolts anyway... You just fire till you run out).
So among others the healthbar will be removed since we don't believe it's very reallistic to have life O meter that shows have much damage you can take.

In the end we will have a realistic game that relays on sound and and graphics in the world to inform the player of whats going on.

I hereby claim the copyright for "!!1!" I'll be expecting checks from both Salsa and Garslisk within the week. Thankyou!!1! ™

*Thief1 walks up to thief2*

*In sign language*

Thief 1 says: "Baby, dingle squat palooza?"

Thief 2 says: "Use your other hand idiot, that one has no fingers."

Thief 1 says: "Oh, I was just checking if I was hurt or not. Cya later."

Ya, sounds realistic.

Will we at least have some sort of health & ammo indicators, if not a count? Because I'd have to say that having no idea how much ammo you have left or how injured you are is much less realistic than having meters.

If I'm mostly dead, I should definitely know that I'm more beat up than if I just happened to catch a crossbow bolt in the arm. And with a quick glance at my quiver, I should know if I've got "some" or "a lot" of arrows/bolts left.
