Cataclysm-dda: Fields on vehicles

[Coolthulhu]

Vehicles can have blood on them. But nothing else - just blood.
Adding the ability to have certain types of fields on vehicles would allow:

• Smoke getting inside vehicles
• Smoke getting generated inside vehicles (say, from faulty engines)
• Sitting in vehicle not giving total immunity to acid fields
• Colorful stains on windshield
• Gibbed/biled-up windshields blocking vision. Would require changing how quarterpanels work against those, though
• Burning vehicles

or painting your vehicle?

Painting with blood and guts, not paint.

well the red ones do go faster

Vehicles are already red in the most popular tilesets. I'd suggest repainting them in a more neutral color to prevent obscuring splatters of BLOOD (after we add them in the tiles version too).

EDIT: I mean it: repaint the tiles themselves, no bells and whistles.

Painting vehicles could be kewl. More flavor text and tilesets could have more visual variety :P.
Chromed shiny sports cars anyone?

I so want to paint myself a Stank Gum battle bus. VIOLET VIOLENCE FOR LIFE

Closing per lack of discussion for a long time and to clean up the issues list.
