Oh, I guess you can import graphics.

Never mind, then.

[quinnr]

They do!
(it randomly happens and works again and stops again.)

You don't understand how hard it is to fix something that happen randomly both me and googol stare at this stupid piece of code.

and in my mind the code looks perfectly right.

Currently the server is so laggy.

Currently the server is so laggy.

It's hosted my girlfriends tv and shes playing aion -.-


shes complaining to me about it begin laggy. so yeah.

Extra animation shots for the doors shouln't slow the game down right?

I'm going to say nah it wont.

[Trorbes]

Just make sure you time the animations properly.

[vagel7]

You guys are gonna code it,not me.

It's already coded.

Animations are on a 10 frames per second max. Each frame takes one or more 1/10th second long tick.

You can make icons inside of DM itself and export them prepackaged.

From within DM, you can make the animations and it supports full transparency.
(You don't need BS12 to make icons, since they do not need code to run, until used in game.)

(Open BYOND, file->start dream maker, from there, file->new environment, then make a new .dmi file. In it, you can create images and movies. Movies are just animated images. To make a door animation, create a movie, set the number of directions to 1, and use as many frames as you want, though they are timed in ticks, as the rate of 10/second.)
One .dmi can contain any number of images/animations, they can be renamed, and multiple ones can have the same name within a single .dmi.

Alternatively, you can skip all that and make them in .png and someone else can import them and put them together.

Just remember, 1/10th of a second or a positive integer multiple of 1/10th of a second per frame.

The current doors have 6 frames per animation, 3 ticks per frame, starting with a fully open/closed door, and ending with a fully (opposite state) door. Or maybe I just opened the wrong file and the doors in use by the game are different, but the only thing that would vary is the total animation length.

Debugging results of the radio code:
A lucky copy/paste of the start to compare it to the start of the old code put the error right in plain sight.

So, how to break the radios:
Stand in the crackle range.

The hilariously simple mistake was

for(var/mob/O in crackle)
    O.show_message(text("\icon[] <I>Crackle,Crackle</I>", src), 2)
    return

Remove the bolded line, and it should work again.

[QuakeIV]

Maybe head shouldn't code.

Everyone makes simple mistakes sometimes.

Fortunately, this case was a simple broken feature.
Not nearly as bad as breaking a linked list, leading to either a memory leak, a future segfault, or both.

Its not like we don't have backup copies scattered everywhere.
