Darkness will be an unseeable map. The whole map is suppose to be dark, so the only way you could see is with special
Night Vision Goggles. As many of you know, when using night vision, your surroundings is sort of greenish (in a dark place), and that's how your view in this map should be. The night vision goggles should automatically be added to you/activated when you enter the map, and automatically removed/deactivated when you leave the map.
The catch with the goggles is that it's range of sight is very limited. Before taking over an
Energy Core, your range of site will be rather small. The whole point of the limited vision is for the sole fact that this will be a stealth map.
Energy Cores
There will be 6 normal energy cores (small/medium size) and 1 main energy core (large size). The 6 normal cores will be in 6 bases scattered throughout the map. The main energy core will be located in the center of a maze which will be in the center of the map. In order to get to the main energy core, you will need to navigate yourself through the maze.
NOTE: The more line of vision your team has, then the better your chances of getting through the maze.
Each of the 7 energy cores will have a barrier over them at first which will not allow anyone to take it over. The barrier will have X amount of HP, and in order to take over the energy core, you will need to first take down the barrier. The main energy core should have way more HP then the 6 normal energy cores. Once the barrier(s) is/are down, then all you will need to do is touch the core and it will emit an aura of the teams color that took over the core (either red or blue). Once a barrier is taken down, then the energy core will be vulnerable to being captured for the remainder of the match.
Why take over an energy core?
Taking over an energy core will supply your teams goggles with more energy to increase your range of sight. When you take over a core, your range of sight will increase a bit. It shouldn't increase too much, but it should increase enough to make a difference. If your team has taken over all 6 normal cores, then your range of sight will be full (meaning it will be like your normal sight is on each level). If one of your teams cores is taken over by the other team, then your range of sight will go back down to how it was before you had that core.
Suggestion:
Design a range of sight for when a team owns 0 energy cores, 1 energy core, 2 energy cores, 3 energy cores, 4 energy cores, 5 energy cores, and 6 energy cores.
NOTE: The starting range of site (I.E 0 energy cores) should not be very big.
This will make things easier.
NOTE: Your team does NOT
NEED to capture any energy cores in order to win the map. The winning team will be the first team to destroy the
main energy core. Getting to the main energy core should not be easy, considering you need to pass through a maze (the main energy core will be located in the middle of a fairly big maze), and getting through a maze with not much range of sight would probably end up with you getting lost.
When your team destroys the main core, then the whole map/mini map should illuminate, and everyones focus should be set to the main core where a huge explosion will occur. Once the main core is finished exploding, the team that won will be announced and everyone will be warped to the droship where they can play again if they would like.
NOTE: Energy Cores should all reset at the end of the match.
Since the map is completely dark,
your radar will not function. This means that you won't be able to spot enemies so easily. To navigate through the map, you could use your minimap.
Mini Map
When the game starts, everyones minimap should be completely black (dark). Your mini map starts to show as you walk through the map. This means that if I walked forward, then in my mini map it would show that I have walked forward. When you take over an energy core, then the base/core that the energy core was on should turn on in your mini map.
If you have yet to go to the core and the other team takes over the core that you once had, then the core showing in your minimap will turn to darkness as it was before. BUT, if you did so happen to be at the base with the core, and the other team took it over, then your mini map would only show (for that part atleast) the parts that you walked through yourself.
NOTE: The mini map should have an indicator indicating your current position in the map.
If you have any questions/suggestions, then please ask away/state them.
