What do they use? Does it work on Linux?! =D

[Pnx]

The game crashed when I was alone on the server and fiddling with solar panels, don't know if it was directly related but probably.

It tells me its still up, but I'll reboot it.

Hey, are there any openings for re-spriters?

[Dr. Johbson]

Openings? Hah, oh course. If you can do stuff, we'll take you, seems to be our motto as it stands now.  We'll appreciate everything you do!

[MarineElite]

Except role playing properly and helping in the game. That gets you banned.

Hm, have diseases ever been discussed? I'm talking about viral/bacterial diseases.

Here are my thoughts:

- Have a "disease" list for each mob and air-holding turf, which holds disease identifiers
- When a mob gets infected, he suffers from any effect the disease may have, such as sleep, much slower walking, toxic damage, or even death
- Each tick, the mob "infects" all turfs around him
- Each tick, the mob has a chance to infect all mobs around him
- Infected turfs spread quite simply: have a X% chance for another turf in range to get infected, have a X% chance for the infection to cease on this turf(this way, spread of diseases would be quite unpredictable)
- When a mob breathes in infected air, he gets infected

[kholhaus]

Well I've been interested in spriting for an Alien Infection gamemode where a disease sort of thing creeps throughout the station, and anyone who is infected has a 1 minute delay before they chestburst/transform into an alien. They are then on the enemy side, and cannot attack aliens, only humans, to prevent grief.

I'll post a few sprites considering what i'm talking about here.

[Yanlin]

Monkey mode. With a delayed transformation and it happens eventually.

[cib]

Exactly. I'm not talking about something like monkey mode. I'm talking about diseases that spread by contact and that can actually be cured/contained. Large parts of the game would probably happen in medbay, with people wearing biohazard suits.

[Pnx]

It'd be nice to have some use for the biohazard suits now.

[MarineElite]

They have a Awesome Disease mode on Datas server.

If somebody is infected and they cough or sneeze near you can get infected Unless you have a mask+internals.

If you pick up items they touched without gloves you can get infected.

If they attack you while your not wearing a suit you can get infected

One person is a carrier of it and will not die from it while everyone else will.

[Dr. Johbson]

Server will be back up soon, just going to have a shower.

[Dr. Johbson]

Server is up. Joooooin.

[Poltifar]

We are getting too few people nowadays playing. Someone come on already!
