/tg/Station 13

We could not have windows on the shuttles or at least make them somewhat harder to break.

I was referring to the controls. How easy something is to control has long been a part of videogame balancing (the handling on your car, the recoil on your rifle, the string of buttons you need for the combo). Nothing wrong with making something difficult to use when it's powerful. I didn't mean to...

Surely there has to be a better solution to this "problem" than literally turning off atmospherics on like one of the only places it actually winds up mattering.

It's one telecrystal guys it doesn't need to be a scrying orb I'd rather it be usable than shit. I'd rather it be GONE than shit. But being shit is shitty. Being able to view rooms remotely isn't shit though I was referring to the controls. I'm aware that viewing rooms remotely is powerful, yes. I'...

I noticed somebody else using the same avatar as me. I had a new one within the hour. Only you can prevent avatar sharing, kids.

it's essentially dead, #coderbus has been nothing but people whining about stuff that doesn't matter and politics lately. This comment is so spot-on that I don't know if it's supposed to be a recent change or if you're just making a joke about a "recent change" that's been the case since ...

I've lost track of what you're arguing Escape pods offer a more secluded way of escaping where there's less people around (and thus less risk of getting maxcapped/destroyed by some other AOE threat) but mean there's less bystanders to intervene if an antag walks up and decides to double tap you. I ...

CPTANT wrote:Like said before, pods in no way prevent a traitor from maxcapping the shuttle once it is in transit.

What I mean is that if getting maxcapped on the shuttle isn't fun, then the pods don't really fix the problem.

tl;dr if you didn't read my rant without escape shuttles antags will just mass kill everyone on the shuttle for fun and there'll be no counter but voluntarily stranding yourself on the station which is not what people would like to do on an IC and OOC level because if no one wanted to escape why wo...

This was something I worked very, very hard to do. I do not like how parallax is currently implemented, not the least because it limits us to exactly one parallaxing texture at a time. Unfortunately the system I came up with has exceptionally poor performance. I'd prefer to hack it up and just swap ...

1, this is coderbus enforcing the rules, which was already enforced by the admins with a ban. For the record, this isn't true. The entire reason telesci isn't around roundstart anymore is precisely because admins were complaining nonstop about issues stemming from it. And not all the complaints wer...

The round ends 2 minutes later, who gives a shit?

To give people alternate choices for when the main shuttle is getting bombed/eaten by the engine/hijacked/a bloodbath/too noisy or otherwise undesirable. The shuttle is already one of the biggest bloodbaths because it's trivially easy to bomb/set on fire, not everyone wants every round to end like ...

But why do the pods even exist in the first place?

Poor controls as a balance feature is a completely unacceptable justification. End of story.

stop responding to shadow dimention posts, none of the maintainers take him seriously so you don't need to argue with him. That being said, could drag speed be made into a Var or something? it would be interesting to temporarily playtest slower dragging for a few days, just to see what happens. Doi...

If you're going to do one hellishly complicated project, you might as well do two.

DM doesn't test if icon_states are valid but it would throw up an error if it can't find an icon file referenced in single quotes like icon = 'icons/mob/aibots.dmi' It's hard to catch every case, but I would love to add a Travis test that makes sure all objects have a valid icon and icon_state combo...

I've never seen a single "meta" barrier that I would consider fun or interesting in any way. I don't even think it's possible to have on that's not trash, to be honest.

What's the point of having carefully painted sprites if they're getting shitty colored overlays splashed all over them? They're shitty multiplications. This preserves the details of the sprite as much as possible. If you have a white ball multiplied by red, it becomes a red ball with the same inten...

People who post ideas are not required or expected to implement them themselves. Demands they do such are unwanted.

Instead of giving the AI an authenticator, which it's explicitly blocked from, hook the AI into the authentication system and give it a popup when an authentication request is made that lets it virtually swipe. Popups steal input focus. I'd really like to avoid those. We could do an alert, but real...

Sometimes you're going to get a situation where 2 maintainers hate an idea and 2 maintainers like an idea. Basically you're just trying to solve that problem. Everything on top of that is just overkill.

/po/ is not welcome here

EDIT: No but really, origami is alright, although I'd rather not get too super deep here. Making paper from botany is ok, although kind of pointless since there's a ton of paper lying around in every paper bin.

Probably not a good idea since the AI could remotely trigger two devices

That's really easy to test for and block.

We could have the round start at dusk and then the place gets darker as the round progresses.

It should definitely spread slower into brightness and much faster into darkness so the crew has to set up lamps and shit. It should also spread very fast near the edge of the map so we can avoid an "end of the world". Very bad things should happen if the tendrils manage to grow onto a cor...

It's already a pretty public area. Unless you mean add logging, in which case to be honest that seems like it would be more stifling if your CMO boss is being a hardass who actually checks the logs.

Killing the clown is security's job, not coderbus's.

Pretty much no matter what, if the lore is that something crashed from space, people are going to have a sarcastic "oh no another crash, how terrible" kind of attitude about it.

>be cmo >expecting chemists to happily do theif jobs and make healing chems >instead one fucks off the whole round and the other makes deathchems More people in the chemical lab would help with that since it only takes one person making healing chems to counteract 4 who make deathmixes and fuck off.

It was inevitable

The lack of direction is spilling over even here!

bandit wrote:The way to add depth to medical is baymed, people just don't want to do it

There's other way to do it. Look at being a medic in TF2 or Overwatch. Sure it's literally point n' heal, but there's depth from other systems.

Some stuff is going to remain shallow no matter what. We're never going to add much depth to the clown for example.

The goal in a first pass is to keep it simple. Adding and maintaining new gamemodes is not keeping it simple. Replacing is much easier than adding on here.

we're long over due a map-specific gamemode config, I agree with robustin this would probably work more as a custom map+mode, atleast to get it off the ground. It lets us have the variety without removing the "Space" from space station 13 (shut up about the mining in space thing, not all ...

The way git works, every single commit is a backup.

A high stakes finale is a feature, not a defect. If long-term area denial becomes OP, it can be nerfed. But how much long term area denial really exists anyway? Hot gas from a plasma fire? That's really about it. If bombs wind up being unfun, they can be nerfed too. But you can bomb the escape shutt...

Lemme be clear. If we decide to go down a route where antags are generally obvious and forgo stealth antags in general, then I don't actually have a problem with a post-facto antag test that also reveals the objectives. But if people do want those thing, this is obviously extremely counteractive to ...

This idea isn't quite stupid enough to warrant shedding.

But it's pretty goddamn stupid.

You keep saying this opinion without backing it up with any justification, which is which is why it's oh so easy to ignore you.

If you set up a last stand scenario from the get-go, any traitors that need to survive to the end would have to not commit any kind of grand sabotage to maximise their greentext potential. Sure, murder one guy or steal an item, but blow up science? the engine? not a Chance. Every traitor will just ...

I've long been in favor of merging jobs down on the simple basis that it will increase interactions, not decrease them. Nothing makes it harder to physically interact with someone quite like a door locking you out of their autism fortress. Sure, you can hack in or get an emag, but then you're prett...

You hurt the project when you dick around with someone else's personal time. That causes people to leave and get angry. At that point it would literally be better to just automerge things and not have a review process at all since it would do more harm than good.

Is that a fact or an opinion?

I've long since learned to stop presuming what the playerbase will or will not accept.
