I'll be on in a guest account in a sec.

I banned him.

Good

A bomb of temp = 1.INF#
is enough to crash the server. I was asked to crash it before I logged off.
Can't even reconnect.

NVM, it's back.

Is this one of those deceptively processor intensive games and also where can I get info on fancy things like control, so my little 2d guy can actually do stuff?

[qwertyuiopas]

The problem with the z-level approach is that the station already uses 5 of them. 4 of those could be shared, however, as the map would have to conform to the widest and tallest maps, there will be a very large game area over many Z-levels. The problem with that, is that the game *already* is slow from the current maps, why add another map level to slow it further?

Another solution, is that maps are already code text files if you open them in notepad.
I could probably write a parser that can read the standard map format from a text file easily.

(Unfortunately, my memory failed me, and they weren't plain text files.)

I'm already writing one 
They are plain text

How well is it going?
(Since a map loader is an interesting concept, I am making one too, though just for my own use unless yours doesn't work well enough, assuming mine works)

[vagel7]

I think i should say that i am planning to redo every graphical thing on the station starting from the basic stuff(walls,doors) that kind of stuff. I will release the walls and doors package when i have all the versions of them ready.

[Trorbes]

Yeah trorbes, but my source wasn't completely up-to-date at the time.
I didn't have your latest updates

Well, then you really should ask CIB (who I believe is hosting the latest source for distribution). I'm not entirely sure why you need my copy specifically when almost everyone else has more recent stuff.

Get the floors too! Everything should match then.
Don't forget, there are four kinds of doors: The one that leads to the psychiatrist office in the courtroom, the one that goes out to the testing chamber in plasma, the normal door, and the shuttle doors. There are three kinds of floors I think, I'd have to check.

I'm also counting airlock and firedoor and the locked glassy ones. For floors i think i will make a new floor tile aswell.

[quinnr]

I forgot the glass ones..

What about the ones controled by a switch?

[beorn080]

I'll list the doors.

Glass door
Glass locking door
Airlock
Fire lock
Blast door
Shuttle doors

Personally, the glass doors are probably fine.

While we are on the subject of doors, can we get a way to get through Glass locking doors without going around them?

[vagel7]

I will make the glass ones about a pixel thinner maybe and a lighter blue will be chosen for glass.

We have one Mr. Tunneler. An emag card. Or a captains card

I agree we need to be able to break them though.

[beorn080]

Well ya, you can get through the wall around them, or if your a traitor you can throw down an emag, or steal the captains ID, but those are so blase. Perhaps just let them be smashed by tools, and makeable via Rglass and regular glass for secure areas. Use circuitry on them to make them lockable.
