[Scenery] Rubbish!

[jamie_macdonald]

Hi All,

I know some of this would have been mentioned elswhere, but to make sure it is a consideration, how about some non destructive Rubbish (if in a city environment) And nataural "wastes" in country environments,

Like flying through bay, you would have fluttering newspaper pages that whoosh up in the air fro mthe wind of the car passing, non destructively of course, things like cans from drinks etc might be good to consider too.

And in rally, Leaves and some particle "chuckup" from the floor (mud, gravel, Hay fro mthe fields etc..)

So just to clarify, general harmless junk, to give the speedthrill, nothing to affect the car, purely some visual "fun".

This would of course have a dedi server "toggle/switch" for it to be removed from league racing (for those who would hate the idea too lol).

As far as I understood you, you mean something like the dirt in stadium or the small falling leaves in rally, when you drive between the trees on the dirt. But you want more Details. Yeah it would be really cool, but you need the right things. If you have many newspapers and cans of drinks, it'll look really stupid. So only some details that are may fixed to a block would be cool (e.g. every tunnelentry has got some cans of drinks and a bit other rubbish(bay) or some smoke that comes out of a House in Rally.
I'm sure it'll be something great just for the eyes. But turning it off is really needed. maybe like pressing "o" to turn off the other players' cars.

ohh and for desert some tumbleweeds rolling through the empty desert('Im sure you all know what it is, you may don't know the name. If so, google it )

It'd definitely be a great visual effect...and good for shooting videos and the like--but of course such objects would be a hit on the processor...so we must be careful otherwise we'll end up making sure that only high-end machines can run the game.

therefor is should be the option to turn these effekts off

[jamie_macdonald]

the idea about fixing ones to certain blocks is a good idea ...the thought of pigeons flying off the roof as you drive across the roof tops ... the leaves kicking up from freshly fallen from the tree and resetling, bats fluttering out the dingy cavern ... and maybe even fish in the water?

remembering that of course the triggers for such events will be handy for the other games too (block triggered particles)..

they could be drawn simply ... or have option to toggle ...them little things as you disturb the world in you wake have a good way of making you feel the speed... obviously the stadium equivalent would be a tidy swept place hehe

That really is a good idea!
What about being able to make/mod them, like lots of other objects in tm games can be edited, that would really give a personal touch to a track!

i think, with the ability to make adjustments it would be too complex..
but fixing those effects to blocks is a great idea, with the function to turn em off again.
like in valley, on offroad parts (where no block is built) those tumbleweeds (didnt know their name before ) would fit pretty good..
or as someone said, smoke outta the rally's house, or whatever.
great idea in my opinion, even if its not really necessary for the game

I like the idea, a little eye candy never did any harm. If there is a slow day at the office Florent...you know what to add

[nickrev]

there should be "alleys" and you should be able to place things like garbage cans or dumpsters.
also you should be able to break through glass on buildings so you could jump through the buildings! that would be cool.

As the editor is the same for all 3 games, i moved this topic to the general ManiaPlanet Suggestions.

Lets hope that we will see some of these things in the editor!
