Changing the rules on headlights at night

[Zebulink{aus}]

Suggestion Name: Changing the rules on headlights at night

 

Suggestion Description: Adding a time that headlights should be on (ie. 7pm - 7am)

 

Any example images: N/A

Why should it be added?: Playing with the different mods that are released (currently winter), the sunrise/sunset times are different with the mod, as without. Adding a required timeframe that headlights must be on would remove confusion as to whether brightness (though still recommended) would play a part in ghosting (driving at night without headlights), and make it easier for Admin to consider bans.

 

Example 1 (currently): Player 1 is driving at 7pm ingame time with the winter mod enabled, sees player 2 driving without lights, reports player 2 using recorded footage, Admin bans player for alotted time. Yet player 2 was not using the winter mod and the sun was still up.

 

Example 2 (changed rule): Modified rule states that headlights must be on between 9pm and 7am. Considering the previous case, player 2 would not be banned even if player 1 was showing night time, as it hadn't reached the time that headlights must be on

That sounds like a cool idea. It would make things clearer. Although what happens once all weather mods are discontinued from MP\?

 Although what happens once all weather mods are discontinued from MP\?

 

That is why time should be made around either the base game sunset, or a seasonal mod that has a later sunset. The examples of times I used are examples and it would be up to admin to decide on times, if the suggestion is accepted

I personally think that this would be an improvement, as once we get rid of the Winter mod (   ) the times will be synced properly, and everyone will have the same running time. It makes it easier as to when we think the lights should be on, and perhaps an automatic message in the chat could be an option as well!!

except, if you're up north in the dlc area, the sun sets later.

 

And, as a side note, this is allready covered in the rules....

Banned for having no lights on? I think it is just a kick however I think a timeframe would be good so we know when to turn lights on and off. Or peoplebxpuld just leave their lights on, like me, I don't worry about the lights because they are always on

[OriginalDoubleO]

This is a good idea, although people should jjust have common sense to whether to have them on or not. But I like it

[Zyder]

I agree, a timeframe is a good idea to show when lights need to be turned off and on. +1

I actually quite like the sound of this idea I must say! Definitely something that should be added to the rules in my opinion, and possibly an in-game warning message as well when the timeframe starts/ends perhaps?

 

+1 from me

[Nace888]

Maybe not a timeframe, but perhaps a message about remembering your lights! Since that's one issue with timezones in the game, it could pop up right before the first one goes dark.

[Raketaz]

I think rather than a time frame that the pop up suggestion the player above me has said would be a better option in my opinion.

I sometimes see the Admins sending messages to us, regarding the ghost driving, and that we should turn our lights on. I guess we should all always have the lights on (This doesn't mean you can use your 30 lights with high beams 24/7, as I sometimes see ). But normal lights shouldn't affect anyone's gameplay.

 

Besides, the weather is not synced, you'll need more the lights with rain / snow, than some with clear skies.

+1 Good shout mate

 

But the time frame needs a bit work i think

[Lee1206]

-1 I'd just like to say that there are lighting problems in the game. Often if there was no clock in-game, I would be able to go all night with no headlights. I don't, obviously. However in certain places (Scotland, Norway in particular), it doesnt seem necessary. I think the times that you said should be later at night, 8.30-9.00PM

^ the rule about headlights is now in effect.

Can a moderator or admin please close this thread

[HumaneWolf]

Done.
