Custom Lodge Builder: Museum

#

Saseka Safari has WAY!! too many Pistol Display Cases & Weapon Display Cases & Racks in General w/o the option to switch between (Rifle/Pistol) &/or the option to remove them to add additional bases or plaques. So I say we get a 4 level 8000m2 (2000m2 ea. floor) Museum/Hunting Club Lodge were players design & layout their own from scratch. Making ea. Visit unique. - 3rd & Final Lodge, additional features such as dioroma themes and culture furniture items will be updated with ea. Reserve add-on.

This would be perfect

Maybe even the ability to build the inside of the lodge and demarcate where trophies go in a similar manner to making a room in Sims

i would love this even if the additional biome murals/aquatic and different terrain mounts werent added, even tho i would absolutely love those too

#

I'd also say let us clear any lodge and determine where mounts go

Again, like Sims

Maybe placards that you can place and write on to explain stuff. Or the opportunity to view the harvest screen from the lodge to see shot and weapon, reserve, etc.

I love this idea however I don't believe all this is doable at all; I'm unsure if the game/engine is made for this type of feature.

The plates showing the history of the harvest are really nice as an idea but probably not retrocompatibile with the harvests done before this feature as I'm unsure if the game is currently storing that type of information.

Uploading custom multi mounts theoretically is a great idea however, just like with custom text on signs, it's really not applicable due to content moderation, unless to be uploaded publicly it needs to go through an approval process first, which would require manpower from the dev team they probably don't have atm.

#

This said I'd absolutely love for this to become reality! I always wanted a more museum leaning lodge where I can choose what goes where and how everything is laid out!

Choosing what goes where is doable if they treat trophies more like placeable items akin to tents and deployables, the game supports that type of interaction already (idk how the code looks like or if it is something that can be transplanted for this function without major refactoring)

I agree with your statement that allowing players to upload pictures/text to document their hunts has definite downsides .... That's why you must always use caution when going into any players lodge in MP ....

However I believe this can be moderated by the community in a very similar what to how discord is moderated by the community. So in order for your lodge to be accessed publicly you (lodge owner) must also be logged into apex connect...

And the players themselves can report any players lodge that violate the rules established by EW .... Pornographic, Racist, inappropriate language etc .... In fact they could make it as strict as no images or language not directly related to COTW ....

So any lodge reported as breaking these guidelines is investigated by the community management team .... The team could even recruit player moderators to use as investigators ... Any player found in violation will be banned from MP temporarily or permanently through Apex connect ....

That might be a solution but maybe a bit too much of an investment from the company to justify the addition? Idk on a business standpoint I'm thinking it might be a bit hard to maintain

@tiny scaffold @quartz veldt The feature with photo plaques is relating to photos taken in-game using photo mode not outside photo uploads. The data is no different than scanning the trophies but they're on a plate or plaque to see instead. If a player hovers over it it'll give the player the option to go to full view this is no different than how documents work in-game. The custom multi-mounts could be applied by EW providing custom stands that give players the option to freely place game on them from 3-10 animals if we were to get room size displays. As I proposed. Your both over thinking it. Ofc this would have limits unless EW updates their engine with new gen. As for investment it would not be wasted since it would be a paid DLC with the features & update to boot. They can & should be able to do this to a degree as the game is currently. I can easily explain how further if I need to. Bare in mind as well this is intended to be the final & last lodge.

"The plates showing the history of the harvest are really nice as an idea but probably not retro compatible with the harvests done before this feature as I'm unsure if the game is currently storing that type of information." - Your right about anything before the update unless its stored, bc mounts also didn't update in the lodges if you had an old model. They didn't update when model reworks were applied.

eh it still means paying employees for that function, even if the DLC is paid there's an investment cost in maintenance and, from what I know, the company's not doing exactly great atm.

As for the plates ye I imagine anything hunted before the update would not be compatible, how would something like that work in-game? let's say I'm trying to link a plate to an animal that's missing the data required to compile it, does it simply not allow you to link said plate or only compile with the information it has even if it's not everything it would use normally?

So the plates replace the link to the hunter mate. So for example you go to a mount instead of walking around highlighting game theirs a plate to inspect the info. This feature would be new exclusive to the new lodge over having to recode the other 3 lodges. As for the company I havn't seen anything to speculate their not doing well infact I see the opposite that the company is growing. The shift in staff & team growth suggests they are doing well & the company is likely working on a new game. Remember EW also made Gen Zero aside from The Hunter & The Angler. As much as I'd like to see the multiple floors its like it would have 2 preferably the main & a basement floor. Ew would likely balance the sizes of the rooms on ea. Floor with an in-game purchase option to buy floor plans with regional/weather themes. The plaques & stands would be controlled with an edit option to rotate stands & L-R to pick the size & terrain in edit mode [this also applies to plaque sizes]. If I were EW I'd put a credit price on them to extend in-game credit use but thats my opinion. But each trophy has an inspect plate with the games info. Now room mounts would show each mount in that display. To put it mildly you go to a plate, you see the trophy with the data, L-R to switch through the trophies over highlighting ea. one individually.

#

Now the alternative for viewing all wall mounts is a single plate to inspect using L-R to see ea. trophy. Idk about you but its hard to view trophies closer to the ceiling in the safari lodges while it keeps highlighting lower trophies. So, the mechanic is simple as a trigger parent link to partner links if you're talking code & function. Which all developers are familiar with this bc its basics. Everything in the game uses it in 1 way or another w/o you realizing it. The additional info would have to be a command or base code to record reserve location, time, & date. Though other folks want a step further keeping the harvest image with shot placement as well & as cool as it would be to add it as a 2nd view option it might be a stretch to add it unless the staff is experienced to attach it as a partner code to the parent but this would also imply even more memory use to your hardware/console if this was applied aside from the general content I had in mind.

timber ore
#

If I was a bit more tech & image savvy, I'd provide a visual to better explain the concept. But imagine a museum or any outfitter location for the plates. Its eitther on a stand or a wall. A player inspects the plate & scroll's L-R to view ea. Trophy. Ea. Trophy has the extended info as suggested above within reason. This replaces the walk & highlight feature we currently have. Now the plates could be added to all 3 existing lodges with current info. Only new trophies would have the additional info unless its already in the code but isn't displayed.

#

Now as @quartz veldt mentioned if a player cheated it would be displayed in red meaning EW puts a detection code that if a trophy wasn't acquired by base game means or modded it would detect it. This applies more for pc but can appear on console if ppl have a modded console to play on steam with K/M.

#

This should be common by todays gaming that a use of mods prevents acquiring achievements & alters gameplay essentially blocking base game rewards bc its altered & most titles that use them ask "Do you want to continue?" before playing. Now nonofficial mods can & will break games & corrupt saves unless mods are approved & have an on/off option if they are allowed by the developers such as Bethesda's & Saber's titles for ex. EW clearly doesn't support them & Jaxy has warned ppl on several accounts of the risks involved. Again a pc issue more than consoles that are more restricted, but occasionally occurs with modded accounts/consoles that usually end up getting perma banned if detected.

The issue I have on xbox is ghosted lobbies aside from connection issues. If the host leaves the lobby is still active. The solution is real easy if the host leaves so does the lobby. This is a huge issue bc of trades due to duplicating G1's & Diamonds. There's also a dupliication bug for tents & stands but I can't report it bc idk what causes it to happen. 5x's I collected tents & stands an end up with 2.

Publicly I agree an icon would work as well or it appears black shaded. Private solo idrc bc unfortunately this has been an ongoing issue for all pc games which is why I hate cross-play & play on console. Aside from hardware differences are also an issue bc pc's perform faster than consoles with less latency & connectivity not too mention you can boost pc's in gameplay while consoles cant. This applies more to PvP titles but PvE mods are applied & usually crash sessions on consoles bc it cant support it. Modded accounts however ppl rewrite the codes so you can cheat while using in-game code & coders adapt to in-game detection codes so it doesn't get detected & make income doing it. Bare in mind mods can be fun & even improve graphics and affects, but more often than not mods are used as cheat tools to those who dont actually play the game but would raather cut corners to get endgame or force mechanics such as max level & credit maxing. This also applies to manually adjusting spawn rates etc.

#

But bk to the topic an icon would work as an indicator to tell its not legit.

I'd say it's their business what they do with their game.
Obviously in multiplayer it's a different beast, you're impacting someone else's experience without them consenting to it; however in single player what do people care if the trophy is legit or not, it's their business.

If they wanna have a population file with all great ones and diamonds it's up to them, I think I'd get bored after five minutes of everything being a trophy animal but hey, maybe they get enjoyment out of that I'm not one to judge what they like, as long as they do it in their own game 🤷‍♀️

Despite all anti-cheat historically only ever impacts negatively on people playing vanilla, modders will always find ways to go around it.

I'm also concerned of false positives the game does register at times being marked as non legit when they are, essentially punishing players for a game mistake.
I worked hard for my Moose GO and the game in my statistics doesn't count it; more recently I managed to bag a Whitetail GO and the game still says I only hunted one GO rather than two, I'd be pissed if the game called me a cheater like that or even gave me a null texture on my trophy for a false positive.

My opinion is that you leave the system as it is and just accept "non legit" trophies are a thing, this is a game and not a PvP experience at that, it comes off as petty when people act like that trying to ruin other people's fun for no reason

# tiny scaffold I'd say it's their business what they do with their game. Obviously in multiplay...

Your missing my point. Idc how ppl play that isn't my issue, my issue is PC should never be compatible to play with consoles. •1. Hardware differences. •2. Mods/Cheats is a PC issue not a console issue (Unless the Developer has approved Mod use) •3. Cross-play Titles 90% of the time fail or break bc of crashes, cheats, & mods from pc on consoles. PC players specifically are affected on PvE Multiplayer Titles while on Consoles the way they get around it is pc modded console accounts like how Forza Horizon 5 was affected not to mention how COD & any PvP shooter died with Cross-play not to mention Developers forcing titles to not be playable unless cross-play is enabled. Their is very few titles that actually do function with it off. So yes anti-cheats are essential. Now CotW does have its issues & bugs as we all are aware however if they dont address it, it'll lead to more software issues along the way. Again, PC Players are the victims to these issues however ghosting hosted sessions is allowing players to duplicate trophies and theirs a glitch to duplicating tents & stands hence its an exploit & "BUG" that needs fixed. This means its not intentional or intended to happen just as the force respawns was never intended. I'm very firm when it comes to exploits and despise those who do use them intentionally to benefit & cut corners. However I am not implying that all Mods are bad & I do support titles that approve their use, but they have no-place in public multiplayer sessions unless a developer approves them. Jaxy has said this b4 it is an issue esp. on PC platforms. If mods are used it should remain in solo & private ONLY & should block public when active. This also implies all trophies are no longer valid/marked <-- if mods are active. Any title that uses mods prevents in-game rewards and prompts players "While mods are active you are unable to receive in-game rewards with a warning it will alter gameplay & could crash &/or corrupt data!"
