Ok, I just noticed something weird with the gooncode. Most of the stuff seems to be acting like there's no sprites for it, my example case being the banana. Thing is, there IS a sprite for the banana, in icons/ss13/items.dmi. The items.dmi in the supernorn's icons folder, however, lacks bananas. Of course, the actual code doesn't specify which folder it's drawing the icon files from, but given the lack of most things showing up, it seems to be norn's.
:edit: aha, yep, just moved supernorn's icon folder, and suddenly everything's showing up.
:moreedit: and it looks like norn's sprites were already in the normal folder anyway, so we still get all his shiny bits.

I must say, many of these new sprites are extremely spiffy. Sleeper looks ossum =P

Are the player models any good? We could remove the directional stuff right?

EDIT: Someone was talking to me 2 tiles away for like 5 minutes and I didn't get a single message. something is wrong. There was no table between us.

Aha!
Guys. Here are the recent problems because of updating goon sprites:
Temp appears again spamming temperature
Can't hear anything sometimes from people that are a few tiles away.
Tasers invisible
Beer invisible

Oh my god they sabotaged our servers! Guys everyone download their codes and look for hacks in it! GVAZ LEAD US OH WISE ONE!

As someone who was there when Googol was merging the code, everything is fine. He is merging the icons into an older version to get everything sorted out, and once that gets sorted, it will be much easier to move the icons up to Sukasa's cleaned up code.

As for the Banana and stuff, if you'll note, the spriter who posted the file said he removed icons that he didn't do, and that weren't part of the public goon code that was released before.

Of course that's their diabolical plan because gvaz is always right.
Or you know, there's bound to be compatability issues.

Speaking of cleaning up the code, I'm working basically on just the root code plus stuff in machinery right now.  Things are going well, and code is getting cleaned up and separated out nicely.

It probably won't help lag or anything *at all* but at the very least it'll make development a lot easier, which means if we figure out what's *causing* the lag, we'll be able to fix it faster

Hey, Supernorn again.

We've had a brief discussion, (Exadv1, Nannek, Pantaloons, Myself, Keelin, Ostaf .etc) and agreed to release a recent version of our dev build as well. This is rev4407 which places it around early May 2010. This build features the greatly optimised atmospherics code, which means playing SS13 isn't like trodding through molasses anymore!  It also means it won't have a lot of the lame gimmick stuff (including poo!!!!) that got re-added afterwards.

Also apologies if you had troubles with the icons, that was partly my fault as i'd renamed the folder containing my icons incase you wanted to continue using the originals. This caused the game to be unable to find them once you'd switched. This shouldn't be an issue in this build.

Edit: Just re-upped it with all of the icons, as we've discovered the map won't run if it can't find certain things.

[Sukasa]

Well...

Not much to say other than we appreciate this a whole hell of a lot as well

[nuker w]

Yep, thats pretty dam surprising and thanks alot as well.

Just a question, are we doing a total swap over as of now or just flicking some of their code and icons out?

[Keelin]

Ive also taken the liberty of removing much of the gimmicky stuff - not just the stuff that was readded.

[Dr. Johbson]

Those crazies who keep saying you guys suck at <Insert thing here> are indeed very crazy, you continue to have my deepest gratitude.

[Sukasa]

nuker: What we'll probably end up doing is taking most of the really cool things and integrating them into our codebase.  think of it as the best of both versions.

Only time will tell for sure, though.  And I agree with Johbson.

[Pillow_Killer]

Thanks. I really dont know what else to say

[beorn080]

I'm not crazy. This is all a conspiracy by Data into slowing down our dev teams. I'm tellin ya, cheese has changed hands here.

[head]

Shit on fritz sticks.

Thats awesome. Thank you once more.

[nuker w]

Ah ok, that sounds like a good plan Sukasa and thanks again Goon's. Any thing i've said thats been offensive against you just went flying out the door.....

Also, if Data is watching this....... I'M ON TO YOU
