The flashlights break not because of the lib, but because of how the lights interact with the lib.  Basically, it's just a few missing cases that have to be implemented in attack_hand() (yay for overriding procs)

A light siphon for traitor would be awesome.
Make it like Dumbledore's and I'll love you forever.

Actually I'll icon it.

A bug about the thermal goggles: if it's dark, you can see people through walls as intended, but if they get close to you, they suddenly become affected by the dark, meaning that in sufficiently dark places you can only see other people if they're not near you. It's very odd.

[Sukasa]

Dwarf: that's because of the lighting lib.  But I won't get that done anytime soon, if I can at all

Also, updated the flashlight so it lights up properly when you pick it up and put it down

Where can I get the SS13 source code?

[Sukasa]

If you want *a* SS13 codebase, google the "Persh Stable" and pull that one down, that's how I first got a copy of SS13.  If you want the codebase we use here, you'll have to convince Headswe or Googolplexed to give you access.

[Apple Master]

Which'll be pretty hard.

[QuakeIV]

Which'll be impossible.

[alfie275]

Yeah, I just wanted the base code.

[Apple Master]

I'm getting really bad lag whenever I join the server. Is that just me or what?

[Googolplexed]

Edit: Nother thing, the ID system for checking dualkeyers seems odd.

Whats wrong with it ?, The only reason it shows up so much is because when the same-person logs in and out it gets called, the code itself should work fine.

[beorn080]

Yeah, alright, thats what I was seeing. Just seemed odd with a ton of they messages, but no they referenced.

[Googolplexed]

Also, is it just me, or did the server crash

By simply implementing lights for lighting rather than magically giving light to lit areas, you have accomplished the first step towards such a system, if you ever wanted to extend it that way. The key point of using a physical network is simply that players can only properly interact with physical objects and text interfaces. Asking them what network to connect a light to is just unfair, as they could set up a light room showing what parts of the station are in use, or they would get frustrated trying to match the light to the switch, and match switches to each other, and then the greifer comes along who makes a second switch for every light set in a remote base...
Not that such remote switches are impossible with cabling, but at least someone with a t-ray scanner could trace the cables back to their base(In fact, such a setup would suddeny be barely greif, as it is much closer to actual RP. First, it is easy to find them by tracing cables, and second, they must create them in the first place.)

Much later, maybe add a wireless LAN system for sending inter-machinery messages, and then you can reveal the conveyor, pod door, and mass driver IDs to the players(assign it a random but consistant 4-digit hex string, randomized at the start of the round, and replacing each mapper-ID set with a unique code), especially as it would allow remote prison doors and other neat features, and explains how the AI could operate them. That gives the potential later update that anything the AI does must go through such WLAN interfaces, and thus exposes all of those functions to crafty players. Add modular components such as timers and logic gates, and you have a primitive wireless wiremod so that you actually *CAN* cre.te an automaed airlock cycle that drains the air before letting you out, to conserve valuable resources, and all from in-game with no mapper input!

THIS. IS. NEEDED.

NOW.

Server back up.

Too many critical errors...
