It would be cool if we just had an almost-blank computer (perhaps pre-loaded with messenger and the game) and then could add software to it...
Like how cartridges work.

goon has (used to have?) that with its dwaine terminals

best fucking thing

thanks for the pm, werty

No problem. Now I keep telling you we need a speshul heist round where we have a group that breaks into places around the station while Sec tries to stop them.

That's... called Heist? And is a thing already? Unless you NEED them to be humans, in which case we just need objectiveless antags.

Have you played Payday:The heist? That's what I want. Gun battles and all.

Nuke, objectiveless antags.

Except they always have objectives.

[scrdest]

No, it's a config option on Baycode servers. BS12 actually has it on.

The antags don't get any actual objectives, just the gear, and are expected to just come up with whatever goal fits the situation the character gets in (for traitor - so for example you get your pay cut by the HoP, so you take out your trusted revolver which YOU TOTES ALWAYS HAD HIDDEN SOMEWHERE and go murder him) or, for other antags, whatever makes the round fun.

So, the ship is empty...

[GiantBadger]

It's a goddam spacestation.

[Iceblaster]

I'd like a station that's built like a space ship

[BigD145]

I'd like to see a station designed from a side on cross sectional view. "Lifts" would be the only access between "decks".

[LordSlowpoke]

no

byond does /not/ like many z's

it handles one giant z significantly better than two smaller ones

had i any power over this shit i'd merge all current z's into one and make border teleports between fake z's so it looks like there's more than one at a glance

i mean sure if you design it this way it should be fine but then you have to set up shit like cross-z atmos and explosion handling, which would be pretty unwieldy pieces of code at the least, and the map would have to rely on a pretty static hallway network unless you want your mappers to go through the pain of setting up teleports every single time they edit anything

all lessons taken from bs12's luna, by the way.

[BigD145]

I'm talking about one z.

[Aseaheru]

How?

[scrdest]

Make those transporter capsules into 'lifts', make a series of parallel corridors with departments on each end.

Make those transporter capsules into 'lifts', make a series of parallel corridors with departments on each end.

And then people can bust up the ceiling and floors of each department and walk up and down through floors without any effort. Let's face it, the game is designed for a top-down view and you'd have to redo large chunks of the game to get the side-view perspective to work nicely.

[Aseaheru]

Yah.

In other news, i still have about 30 ship designs for SS13 kicking about.

No. Then they get sucked out into space.

[USEC_OFFICER]

No. Then they get sucked out into space.

You know what I mean. Gravity to enforce the side-on view does not exist yet.
