I am sure that if Kashan was made into a night map, that most people wouldn't be able to play it probably. Most people have problems playing Kashan now, let alone with the extra stresses of night vision turned on.

i love the idea it would be awesome!
Hey, why doesn't someone here try making one! Nightmaps are REALLY easy, the game engine and the editor support them really well. I'm suprised that no other mods are using the NVGs, and have made it so you can't gamma hack! Go on, someone here have a go, you'll have loads of fun and everyone will love it!!
but im detecting some sarkasm there..

And dont worry about the pilots they will have NVGs like everyone else

The very idea!!! :grin:

You could make a nightmap that wasn't completely dark, but then everyone would gamma hack it, making the NVG's useless as they would put you at a disadvantage.

Rank, you just made my saturday much worse.

Its a cool idea, but Rank has a point. Implementation is not going to work out on a large scale. Maybe with friends/clanmates, but not on a pub server.

So you want Kashan to look like Armed Assualt at night? Great idea. If PR does a sniper will be down to a normal inf squad.

If you want a night map it will have to be made from scratch, the team stated a long time ago that the only night maps that would be included are ones that were specifically designed as night maps. A large desert night map would be awesome, I did thinking about making one a while a go, but if you want it, you had better get cracking and learn that editor! ;)

True, but Kashan is being removed tough right. And how hard is it to add a different color sky, lights, and other night things......

Ok its alot of work.

why make a whole new map when kashan is a great map and it could be just as great at night?

Because it would require 2 whole versions of the map, therefor a larger download, and therefor using up space that should be used for different maps rather than the same map twice with a night and day version. This is especially important now as we have now have so many custom maps in the game. A night version of Kashan would not be included in the mod, unless there was a serious change in policy (which is very unlikely to come because of the point I made above). Either that or the map was changed into a night map and the day version wasn't included. Again, very unlikely to happen.

Come on lads, you've got the ideas, get the editor and start creating! :D

Kashan night wouldnt be so great imo. Too large for a low view distance that would just be pointless imo. There are better maps for night-battles. I'd prefer to see city-nightmaps or forest-nightmaps. Desert-nightmaps are ... boring.
