A couple ideas I have for the mod

[Yeung-Jin 28]

Here's just a couple thoughts I've had that I think might make the game more fun, and a bit more realistic.

This has been said before, but I think the idea that crouch walking should be quieter than crawling is fantastic. I like the idea that you would have to trade off mobility to prone and make yourself less visible, and honestly no one shuffles around on their stomach to make less noise.

The other idea I had is some kind of very small radius of very faint light around your player during the night that is only visible to you. At night I can't see anything except for the horizon when I'm outside, and it feels unnaturally dark. Giving players a small radius of visibility would be closer to reality, without sacrificing the difficulty or need for a torch or flares. The gamma exploit would theoretically not work either because then you'd just be able to see your small radius more easily.

Just my 2 cents. Whaddya think

Its ironic that you want people to respond to your ideas then you come to this thread and don't respond to my ideas. Just sayin, not trying to be a dick. I read your ideas, and I thought most of them would change the game too fundamentally. I liked the soda, pain and zombie "modes" ideas, but the stamina I thought would be an added unnecessary annoyance, and I didn't really understand the point of the splint thing.

I love this idea. When crouching and walking as slow as you do in the game, your character should make a very minimal amount of noise. I still think being prone should also make almost zero noise, as it will if you're doing it right in real life.

The other idea I don't agree with so much. I think maybe in first person you should be able to see at least a couple feet in front of you, as, for me at least, even during the darkest of nights I can at least see directly in front of me. In third person view I think the small light would be ok, but maybe just being able to see a faint silhouette of your character, just a bit lighter than the night itself. That way instead of adding a light that takes away from realism (Nothing major, just a tiny bit), you have a more realistic feel at night.

Great ideas, and I think (and hope) at least the first one should be implemented.

I go camping a lot, and even at night with no moon, your eyes will adjust so you can see your surroundings. I understand that making everything visible doesn't work because of the gamma/brightness, I just think the small visible radius would be a happy medium.

Ill sign that crouch walking is silent.
