Absolute bungalow of a thread.
Edit: fuck I posted in the wrong thread and necro'd it.

Didn't even know we had a shitcurity page?
But nah, mostly tongue-in-cheek criticism of past experiences.

Beat people up for making defenses during nuke ops. Beat up and lethal anyone wanting a weapon from the armoury during a blob round. Ignore the genuine calls for help over the radio whilst you're arresting people for littering. Threaten the lawyer for doing his job. Make sure to spend most of your t...

Very good idea. Thank you. Maybe 2-3 ambient tracks, they don't have to be too long as long as they follow a similar theme.

Edit: ignore, was too negative. Soz.

make the crit heartbeat noise less horrible while youre in there its so annoying it could at least use some variance Fastbeat.ogg? It sounds like the same sound repeated over and over. It could easily be varied by just cutting up the file and maybe applying some pitch shift / time stretch to give i...

kayozz

Judging from comments on the discord and by the poll linked by Capsandi it seems a lot of the sound levels are imbalanced. A lot of the complaints are due to loudness. I think either replacing some of the sounds or running them through reaper/audacity to stop them clipping might be an idea. Noise re...

Thanks Capsandi.
Edit: that link is brilliant, thanks.

I'm looking to compile a list of wanted/needed sound effects to add to the game, so I thought I'd ask here to see what you think might be needed? First of all - I'd like to add some spooky maintenance sounds to add to the paranoia of the game. Distant creaking metal, humming machines, occasional spo...

Great dude, went out of his way to check something for me from another round, went log diving without me asking him just to answer a question about something. Very polite too - top quality staff <3

kayozz

Does anyone actually like these stay in your lane rules because they seem massively unpopular and personally I've only had experience with them when admins are powertripping. If the HOS starts pushing the med staff out the way to perform surgery on someone, then I'd say that's not only crap RP but ...

There are a LOT of non-human and highly experienced statics, and none of them are going to regularly become Command for solely this reason.

Noooooo.... Just no.

No such thing as a so called 'final' fantasy. It's either a fantasy or it isn't, finality has no place putting its boring time related judgemental shit into it. Fuck you time.

If a dragon secures its portal, why not allow it to evolve?
It can remain a normal dragon.
It can also become a frost dragon/plasma dragon/radiation dragon/physical dragon/banana dragon etc.

kayozz

I suppose I've been guilty of doing a few of these things in my time. It's something I think we can all collectively work on, but I also think it's important to understand that admins are not customer service agents for a corporation's helpdesk. We are volunteers doing this for the sake of improvin...

Good stuff. I don't use github much so thanks for showing me this

kayozz

Timberpoes we don't deserve you.

kayozz

I'll be honest the initial opening was quite confrontational tbh, but Drag seemed to chill out towards the end of the ticket. I think Timberpoes put it far more succinctly than I could.

kayozz

and I can't even change it

Can you explain why (I don't know much about coding or BYOND). Is it that the WAV/MP3 is too loud? Is the sound effect not editable (i.e can we not just export the file and alter it)? Or is there another reason?

Genuinely curious.

kayozz

Anyone else agree?
If I'm playing late at night, I genuinely find myself reaching for the volume controls at the start of the round to avoid waking up the whole street.

Any chance someone could fix the volume please?

Ronnie Biscuits likes to get drunk and discuss the idea that the station is actually a simulation, his proof being that nobody on the station can describe the ceiling tiles or indeed show him one. He is vaguely paranoid of NT and thinks the station is nothing more than an experiment and social proje...

kayozz

I think a mentor button is a good idea. Maybe allow several regular/volunteer players and admins on each server to have access to the chat, so it doesn't disrupt OOC and can be used for answering questions that don't directly need an admin.
Also if admins are offline, regular players can help?

kayozz

Lower the false report chance by about 1-3% , that way 'most' reports are accurate. Don't announce greenshifts as being greenshifts (i.e being threat free) - put greenshifts in a low security threat category. Then let HOP/Cap buy the data later for more accurate results. What this solves ^ people no...

kayozz

^ Low/medium/high is more sinister than the actual colours. I like it.
Following on from my above idea, maybe that's all we get at round start, then if someone pays whatever, then we get a final report?

And yeah low could include greenshift, without telling anyone it's a greenshift.

kayozz

Threat Reports are also a really cool feature, I think. Maybe shifts like a Blue Star can leave it on Green Alert to start, since it's just information of enemy movements in the wider sector? We could reflavor it a bit to make more sense in the universe. Make every shift start on a green report unt...

kayozz

I should add I have nothing against Greenshifts, but IMHO nobody should know they're Greenshifts. Keep that scary factor up. (EDIT: Not sure how that would work with the star announcements?? [replace green star announcements with whatever one has the next lowest threat?]) that'll be my policy sugge...

(EDIT: Not sure how that would work with the star announcements?? [replace green star announcements with whatever one has the next lowest threat?])

kayozz

I agree that threat is broken and I also agree that Greenshift announcements are a bad thing. The nature of the game is creeping paranoia.
Having zero threat gets old quickly. As does 'here have another dragon + blob + shadowling'.

Maybe we need more antags or events similar to rods/meteors etc.

Yesterday someone stole my shoes, so I punched them several times in the head. They called me rude and uncouth then we both went our separate ways and I stood on some glass and fell over. This is the Manuel experience you're all missing out on. I imagine on one of the LRP servers I'd have shanked th...

Try and hop on Manuel when I'm on and come to the bar. Old Ronnie Biscuits is usually (drunkenly) asking the barman (or whoever is listening) about what colour the ceiling tiles are which usually evolves/devolves into some kind of flat land Edwin Abbott Abbott-esque philosophical discourse about the...

No... Also get rid of felinids.

I think my point of contention is how fast one threat seems to spring up. Dragon then Ninja whilst the heretics are causing havoc, the traitor is bombing shit... Pirates causing havoc. All within minutes. It almost feels like the only option is to force a round end shuttle call. On a yellow star wit...

60-70% of the crew dead. Sec was understaffed. Shuttle was on fire.

kayozz

I think personally the dynamic scaling on Manuel needs 'fixing' and Sec need a bit more leniency from the admins. If Manuel is to be encouraged to continue to be an RP server, we shouldn't be really punishing players who RP as strict or lenient, or even tyrannical or cowardly variant of HOS if the s...

Can I just say dynamic is utterly fucked at the moment. A couple of rounds ago we had at least two traitors semi-murderboning (several people got RR'd), we had 3 pirates firing cannons at and then hijacking the shuttle, we had a revenant working with the pirates to scoop up corpses, we had a dragon ...

I disagree that you can't RP with Jeff. Sure he can get a bit of tunnel vision, but my experiences of playing with him is that he's a well coordinated, intelligent and funny dude and I DO think he's toned his style down.

I don't play cult as I hate it but I LOVE revs. So the answer is wreck shit, hunt security or heads, tamper with stuff, steal stuff that could benefit heads/sec or non-converted medbay. Embrace the chaos and use whatever tools I have to further the aims of the glorious revolution. Scream into comms...

kayozz

I have cult turned off. What happens if someone tries to convert me? Does it ghost me? I don't want someone else playing my character.
Genuine question.
