carbine781 (DayZ) 131 Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) The Body Icon Is Used To Detect Injuries. It Shows Bullet Wounds, Infections, And Broken Legs. It doesn't show zombie wounds or bleeding, because the current blood icon will detect those. I believe that this could take place of the broken leg icon that comes up, and that this should get rid of coughing during the first hour of an infection. This icon will let players know if they have an infection before they hear coughing. I included some basic concept art I made. Remember, that these early images are probably subject to change to make the injuries more clarified. CLICK THE PICTURES TO VIEW THEM. Please post your opinions below, and please look at the pictures before posting a comment. Thank you to everybody who has posted and given me there beans.If somebody has already made something like this before, I did not intentionally take it. However, if it is the original post, please credit me if you would like to use it in yours. Edited January 18, 2013 by carbine781 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DemonGroover 8836 Posted January 17, 2013 Nice work. Instead of an icon (it would have to be big to be useful) why not have it as a separate screen, like the Inventory, that you can call up and have a look at? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It can also go were the debug monitor used to be. Maybe, the bullet wounds and other smaller stuff will admit a slightly flashing glow to make them stand out 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie454 1 Posted January 17, 2013 i like it as for the seperate screen it could be like fallout ie adding bandages and morphene to affected areas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Quartermaine 34 Posted January 17, 2013 Great idea; would be necessary if we have to treat certain injuries in a particular way (provided there was not an obvious way determine the injury). Would be super cool if it was integrated with the examine body option. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michaelvoodoo25 3120 Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) A good idea, reallyBut....it's still a great idea and all, but have you considered different colours for wounds / infections? If a player got shot and an infection or broken leg you would not know you have certain injuries unless there was a on screen notice / action / sound.I would like to see this also on a seperate page / tab but with a history of injuries / bruising, I think it would add to the experience as my characters live longer than a month thease days.

scoffield77@gmail.com 192 Posted January 17, 2013 I like this idea, but worry that the icons are two similar. Gunshots with in a infection will not show up, plus the smaller infection looks like a gun shot. I like the concept but it needs some work to ID the different kinds of injuries. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadow Man 142 Posted January 17, 2013 Nice work. Instead of an icon (it would have to be big to be useful) why not have it as a separate screen, like the Inventory, that you can call up and have a look at?Yes, or maybe something like the Alone in the Dark thing (but better) where you can look at your own body to see injuries.

I may post some new concept art soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beastoverlord 574 Posted January 17, 2013 Even if you get some heat over this, I like the art. I love it when people post concept art on here. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bat (DayZ) 230 Posted January 18, 2013 okay just got an idea but might seem a little bit extreme here I go : why not having different wounds/infection affect your actual skin on your body, meaning you'll have to undress and heal/check for wounds infection like you would IRL? of course you would still have clues you've been shot somehow, but it's up to you to actually locate the wounds and heal them.it would require some dynamic textures and lots of coding and all, but hey that would be pretty intense seeing an infection spread and blood stains on your clothes and all...tell me what you think ! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
