Right now bans seem to be hard to manage since the banlists are put in the repo and thus are always changing.  I think eventually we're wanting to move to a centralized MySQL database for managing bans and administrators, but that is easily months away.

I like that idea.

Suggestion-Whenever someone gets revived via genetics they auto-return to they're body. This should eliminate alot of braindeads, as some people are such noobs or are viewing something else so they don't see themselves getting revived. It's hard to gauge whether or not you should rev someone alot of times, and I think implementing this would help. I know about the verb, but still.

The maze is pretty fun.

Mono124 Requires a genetics guide so he can make super powers when he feels like it.

[Saint]

NO.
Plus super powers are randomized each round.

[Mono124]

I know that, but every time I get all the super powers, the person also is deaf, stumbles, and is epileptic.

Note I use random names because I've had problems where no one would grief me in game because they knew who I was. Wit a random name, there is a good chance I'll be run up to and toolboxed, as opposed to the other denizens of the statoin, which makes it much easier to filter out griefers.

I have an untested implimentation of a "zombie gene" that is produced as an XOR of monkey and hulk. The intention is to make messing with the undead a very unexpected and hard to reproduce endevor, but the payoff is that if they conquer the undeath, they have a vastly better system of revival than the monkey/human cycle. It needs ENABLE_ZOMBIE_GENE to be true to work, however.

Also, as a bonus, I added NO_MONKEY_REVIVE that, if #define'd to true of any sort will cause the death state to carry over after transformation.

So, two options in setup.dm where changing a 0 to a 1 on either will radically affect the ability for players to revive each other.

The implementation is as I mused long ago, N bits of a bitmask are set, and if (HULK ^ MONKEY) & bitmask is either 0 or the bitmask itself(all 1), it alters the victim, all 0 dezombifies, all 1 zombifies.

Those would probably be the most valuable injectors possible, when paired

Then you are doing it wrong.

Each set of 3 hex-digits making up a gene affects one power(except, when my newly submitted code is enabled, attempting to monkey or hulk can create an unwanted zombie...), so what you must be doing is setting them all on.

However, some of them give disabilities rather than powers.

Since they are randomized each round, you must figure out what gene corresponds to what power/disability, and *deactivate* the disabilities while *activating* the powers.

I forgot you were an admin for the first bit and went "wuuuuuuuuuuut why does he want to be griefed o.o"

How do you activate them though? From the guides I have seen, I activate them, but from the works of others they don't have the same blueprint as the guides at all.

Some wierd person named "Mikey3001" somehow managed to connect to my server when it was set to invisible, no idea how they got the URI for it o_O

Anyways, continuing to update the code for taking map images, FINALLY *actually* fixed the engine computers, and fixed more bad p_dir variables in the pipes/etc

On that note, qwerty, do your pipes still randomly use h_dir instead of p_dir, and if so do you have any idea why the hell heat pipes use h_dir and normal pipes use p_dir?  I can't figure it out and it just makes no sense to me.

I am currently super sick and am prob. going to be staying home from school 2morrow.
Depending on how much pain I am in and usualy can ignore a great deal there-of will be able to hopefully do a lot of spirite work.

[quinnr]

<sarcasm=true> Surrrreee your sick. </sarcasm>

<sarvasm=false>Hope you get well soon!</sarcasm>

[beorn080]

Und down. Rather hilariously short zombie round in which the head zombie ran into the engine to convert a guy. Capt set himself and me, a security officer, on fire.

About the genetics thing, I agree that there needs to be an overhaul. The superpowers, especially tele when paired with xray, are really overpowered. But it shouldn't be too high a priority because the random gene stuff really makes it harder. If you are going to overhaul it, an idea would be to make the powers more subtle of linked with other stuff, like the hulk is linked with random item dropping. Don't ask me how to do genetics, it's complicated and overpowered.
