Bring back Crayons

Post by Sarah_U. » 01 Jun 2017, 09:19

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
Bring back crayons to various areas of the maps.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
Adds roleplay fluff.
Adds a new way to set a last note.
Generally nice for aesthetic.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
Simply add some boxes there and there to allow survivors and some marines to mark down areas with crayons.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
Mapping, 3 clicks, done.


PS: I'd see art being a part of at least 1 of the map as some sort of stress relief or colonist's hobby.
CM was obviously inspired by Starcraft: Ghost opening. At least when marines takes too long to deploy.

ways to leave markings on floors or walls might also be useful for leaving information, directions, or warnings

As an adimendum, make them edible for marines.
I'm stressing way too hard about what to put here, so I'm just gonna leave it blank.... or....

I +1 Biolock's idea.
I also +1 the idea that they need to be usable on wall ;)

But the suggestion is mostly about re-introducing them so.

Can Marines stick them up their nose while targeting the face? If so, +1 for realism.

Well at worse it'll weed out the shittlers. I know it was removed for various reasons, but in apocalypse scenarios you still see people once in a while just grabbing a marker and painting walls for notes and whatnot.

I bet someone drew something naughty with the crayons. Their problem, the whole server shouldn't suffer because of one idiot. I'm going to +1 this as well.
