Night mode

For a list of night mode maps, see Category:Nightmode maps.

Night mode (also known as nightmode or dark mode) is a randomly occurring game mode that limits the player's vision. The surrounding map is darkened, leaving a small area of light around each player that only they can see. This darkness applies to the shaman, as well. Night mode occurs on select vanilla mode maps and may also be imposed in player-created maps.

When a player completes the map or dies, the map is revealed for that player so that they can spectate the others.

Map 97 is the only vanilla map with night mode.

History

• 13 August 2010 (V0.55) - night mode added.
• 14 August 2010 (V0.58) - night mode no longer available on all maps, only on 7 maps.
• V1.161 - dying in night mode maps won't remove the night anymore.

Trivia

• The naming convention of vanilla night mode maps adds 1000 to the map's number. For example, the night mode version of map 62 is named map 1062.
• Night mode used to be an option under "Map settings" in the Map Editor. Now the only way to add night mode is by map XML editing.
• From 28 June 2013 (V1.82) to 2 June 2014 (V1.161), shamans with the Unburstable skill could die and revive to remove the night effect.
