Topic: The amount of firemen and paramedics should be visible for everyone to encourage people to join.
Short explanation (in notes):
- If someone sees that there are no paramedics or firemen, it's much more likely for them to join.
- If there are no medics, that text could also glow, because they are always needed.
Detailed description (why should it become added/...):
It's completely unrealistic that sometimes there are no paramedics and dead bodies are lying everywhere. And a slightly less important thing - a big fire and no firemen. I don't even have to give any examples. Everyone knows that it happens often.
My solution is making the number of them visible again and optionally making it even more visible to encourage people to join.
By glowing I mean the glowing border around the text. Like the glow moderators/etc. have in OOC chat.
It wouldn't be hard to make the server return a value every 1 or 2 minutes showing whether or not there are any fires on the map, would it?
Don't think about how realistic it is to know whether or not there are any paramedics or firemen. Think how realistic it would be in a big city to have no paramedics or firefighters.
In real life you don't need to know how many paramedics there are because ALWAYS there are many of them. But in PERP it is important for other players to play as paramedics. At least 2 per city. Not 0. That's why saying "it's unrealistic to see it" is wrong.
Optional additions:
- If there is a fire and no firemen or no paramedics, it could show in the top right corner when the inventory is open to make it more visible. Why not?
- If there are any fires on the map, the text showing the amount of firemen could glow.
