I think it would be nice if all the radio frequencies were randomized at the start of the round, but that doesn't really matter. Anyway, bringing the server back up! Yay!

Being admin in an empty server is kinda fun. Yay for massive quantities of axes and hulks.

I want to propose a new kind of 'mode' to play: endurance mode.

We dont even need to program this one in. Just use extended and pretend that Centercom cant send us the escape shuttle. Basically, no matter what happens, we are stuck in the station, and whatever disasters occur, we have to rebuild it and fix it ourselves.

Like I said, we *could* play this in basic extended, but some modifications could make it easier, like less random events (dont remove them completely, just make them fewer and farther between), and maybe the resupply shuttle (if you want to play the 'easy' mode like the pussy elf you are).

So, I'd like feedback on this. What do you guys think?

Good enough to be implemented.

You banned me for no reason i assume....Banning me without telling me, noy giving a reason to the ban, and then ignoring me....wth?

Okay, yesterday I accomplished wide amounts of nothing. Trying to repair the proximity sensor didn't work, because the code is exactly the same, it's just not in the same folders. So yeah. Moving folders didn't work, either.

On the upper side, I found there was escape and recon pods! Yaaaay. Also, space loops into itself, so you can't come back to the station or get to CentCom by flying. 

I am thinking of setting up some kind of escape pod bay. Since the game ALREADY accounts if you escaped into a pod, like for meteors, or even blob.
Or maybe not an escape pod bay, but just a personal pod, with maybe a countdown to open the door, so people can react to that.

Also, I think I can get endurance in.

Ninja-edit: Also, there wasn't any zombiegame mode in those files. I guess the admin just zombified people.

[beorn080]

That would be a nice twist on the escape alone on the shuttle objective. Could either attempt to steal or make three IDs that launch the shuttle early, or steal one and launch a pod with a small delay.

I still think we need NPCs. Anything, really. I heard about a server with aggressive monkey spawns and such. It can't be that hard, can it? Here's an idea for the pseudo-code it could use:

Code: [Select]

if no player is in its vision, walk around randomly like normal monkeys and braindead people

if one or more player is in its vision, randomly choose one (or maybe choose the closest one) as its target and store it in a variable

every 'tick' or whatever amount of time you want, if target != null, do
{
if target is in sight but at a distance > 1, move toward target.
if target is in distance = 1, do damage to the target and give the people in view a message about the attack
if the target is not in view anymore, choose a new target if any are available, or empty target variable and go back to random movement mode
}

This code would be extremely basic, and definitely not something incredibly dangerous to the players or whatever, but a first step nevertheless.

[Floirt]

If you want NPCs, talk to Mr. Muggles. 

[IndonesiaWarMinister]

I may be able to help.

But no, I'm not promising anything.

Still, how is the BYOND codes looking? Is it a bit like Java?

[Poltifar]

Oh come on Floirt, what kind of programmer/modder are ya?

IWM, well not really. You can find documentation for it on the BYOND site. I think.

[kholhaus]

I think pre-set radio frequencies (aka Hyperlinking functions with names of different intercoms) would help stop clutter. It would directly link radioes to an intercom, allowing you to page that area.

Of course, there could also be specified channels that are restricted to certain jobs. Captain accesses all channels, and there could also be custom channels for Espionage and Sabotage for Syndies.

149.5 could be the General frequency.

The goons took out the pods.  They used to be part of an escape pod bay near engineering.(On the old map)

Careful with the placement of escape pods, though.  Some of us old timers know how to destroy the entire station with them using something that got nicknamed the "Dwarf Bomb" due to the first person discovering it.(His key was Dwarf16)  Basically, it's more powerful than the nuke.  You've been warned.

Nonetheless I didn't think it warranted the removal of pods completely, just move the podbay to a more suitable area.

oh hey there Cecil.
