If you want someone out of toxins, call security, not attack him. He was either stunned or punched in the face.

This was more of the AI's fault then the captain's because he was saying junk like "i have old databases" and used that as an excuse to ignore the instructions from players even if it was something simple as opening atmos.

But making 4 bomb assemblies did not warrant trust in this case.

BUG: I got electrocuted about 30 times in a row while cutting wires. Please fix this as it is insta-death.

If you would have asked, you would have learned I was planning on filling those with N2O to be security bombs.... instead, you assumed "OMG CAPTAIN MAKING BOMBS"

[Micro102]

And the heated plasma was for?

[Jackrabbit]

Wow, ok I need an admin now. I am being metagamed to fucking shit. People don't realize YOU DON'T KNOW THERE IS A TRAITOR/WIZARD/METEORS/ETC before your CHARACTER actually knows it.

I was mortified when I did this. Also when I kept becoming captain because I didn't realize how job assigning worked. Fun times. Maybe I should start to play again, I can't do any worse than I did last time.

Also, the firefighter had a perfectly valid reason to be there. if there was a mistake with the bomb, he would need to be close by to put out fires.

As I have said countless times, the fix is simply to null the mob's current machine, so that they don't auto-activate it every second after being electrocuted.

Additionally, why not create a proc to close a machine window given it's string, and at the same time null the machine?

mob.machine = null
mob << browse(null, machine name)

Rather than all of the other places where it doesn't always do both.

Or maybe simply ensure that /obj/proc/updateUsrDialog() returns early for users where stat != 0? Anything that knocks a player over or kills them would stop the dialogs from updating then.

Alternatively, edit attack_hand() to check if they can even still use things.

Then there is the root of the problem, in the player's loop:

      if (src.stat != 2)
         if (src.machine)

Add more than src.stat != 2. Decide if laying down is enough to prevent machine use(Then it would be stc.stat == 0), or toss in a && (Generic check for other conditions like being electrocuted)

With so many ways to fix this, why hasn't it been done? I can't because of source merging issues(I generally like to mess around with my copy , and so do others), although long ago Johbson(Did I get it wrong?) managed code merges generally well, although some sort of source control would probably work just as well...

Basically, with no "official" central person, code changes are harder to share, so I mostly share the concept behind the change rather than changing it myself.


And I have mentioned the players update while shocked fix many times before, yet it is still unfixed...

[Googolplexed]

We need a central SVN server.

The trouble is finding a host who is online often enough

[QuakeIV]

Well, my desktop is still online all day, pacific time.


So i can still do that.


Doubt you'll let me though. 

[Mono124]

Did the server just go down? I cannot connect.

[MagmaDeath]

I'm pretty sure someone set off a massive bomb.
Im still on, its just frozen up, I haven't lost connection though.

[beorn080]

It possibly froze your client. I can't connect at all.

Now there are pornographic images in the escape shuttle, spawned by admins after images made so big they covered up the whole screen.


I didn't expect to see certain male body parts on Goonstation.

and now admins are impersonating me.

OOC: QuinnR: Updating my status to big gay babby
....
OOC: Housekeep: NOOOOOO MY BLACK HITLET COCK
OOC: QuinnR: Man, that GIF (obscene stuff)

I am really sick of those admins.

Hmm, I guess it could be summed up as half the admins on goon servers are idiots, the other half are alright.

"Edit" Is it possible to ban an admin?

[quinnr]

Yes, if they are removed from adminship.

Now, they have sent in the special squad, and when that failed, exploded me. They can't even murder someone right.

EPIC FAIL

Agreed. How did you fend them off anyway?
