I like hanging out with religious folks, they are well-mannered, honest, helpful, welcoming, friendly, all round good people. Except in the army there was this higher ranking dude that decided we had to read our soldier's manual on planting landmines or w/e while the others were doing church-service...

There is a verb that increases your view distance, set-view-distance or something it's called. The maximum size is 128, if I remember correctly. With that distance you only need ~4 screenshots to cover the entire map. Only admins can use the verb, but to take a decent screenshot of the map without ...

Drones are the best new thing, I love being able to wire solars and fix stuff without having to worry about anything. Malf/syndicate drone factory would be cool to have. Syndi drones without uplinks, with a law that says they have to feed the drone factory with metal and glass to produce more drones...

Metagaming telesci coordinates is about as bad as metagaming food & chemistry recipes or how high a dna block you need to have for super powers. Props to those who figured out the recipes without reading the wiki. Two ideas for balancing it: Telesci shouldn't be so accurate you can teleport to a...

Your face when I tell you that pocket sand is already a thing

Pretty sure it isn't a thing, since #1554, #1895 and #1901 all got closed.

Ghosts and skellies were cool, the zombie speech worked really well.

Thus, without modifiers from clothing, reagents, hunger, health or temperature, the alien hunter has 8 times smaller movement delay than a human, and possibly the smallest move delay of any mob in the game. That's to Mr. Crimson's argument of "lol just run and shoot your laser at him bro, soo ...

Smoke effects don't look right in the blurry version, since somehow it can't see the alpha layer here when it can do it right everywhere else.

We currently do not have a policy on roundstart suiciding, other than for important roles such as heads of staff, AI or antagonist (Rule 6). Why roundstart suiciding is a problem from gameplay perspective: - Suiciders are a security threat because they make it easier to steal a false identity. Takin...

Can you imagine a situation where being both Project lead and Headmin would be too much responsibility for one person to handle or simply too time consuming? In such a situation, what would you do (eg. which role to drop first)? If you were to have one pet project, secret agenda or an achievement to...

Unless other headcoders say otherwise, I'll take Cheridan's word as the decision I was asking for.

If we have design policies written down somewhere, we should add the design goal "antagonists are not supposed to kill people too much" to those policies.

Sorry for making yet another topic on the issue, but this didn't fit in the previous ones. This is a call for player - admin - coder cooperation to balance changeling when it comes to the features it currently has, and for finding a direction for the gamemode. This year the gamemode has seen new mut...

Has anyone here read the Asimov books? I'm wondering which one I should choose to try and read first, and if they are "worth" it.

Instead of all mobs having their own say.dm, try to have one say.dm that works for everyone. Have the different filters be accessed through flags instead of hardcoded lists. Instead of recursive mob check that checks for mobs recursively and then checks if they have a client, just go through the lis...

My first time playing, the round was almost over, I got trapped by a rogue engiborg in medbay and I couldn't do anything when it just removed floortiles all around me. I was confused with thoughts of "what the hell is happening", "what could I've done in that situation", "ho...

I'm not sure if ninja gloves touch() is bad or not. It's like, every time you touch something adjacent without an item in your hand, touch() is called on your gloves and only does something if they are ninja gloves. Alternative would be checks in all the places where ninja gloves interact with items...

I played civ 2, 3, 5 and alpha centauri in this order. Civ 2 is my favorite, the atmosphere was best and the advisors were awesome, they should do that again in Civ 6. Alpha centauri didn't really do it for me, didn't care for customising units and not customising them didn't feel like an option. An...

I thought your suggestion would be to have a deathmatch gamemode for lowpop rounds. Deathmatch is mucho better than extended, no?

I am concerned about the changes to EMP making changelings overpowered. But then again I thought dissonant shriek in itself would be overpowered. What do I know. Also I dislike being forced to use stun prods, I feel like they are for assistants, not antagonists. Antagonists should have better tools ...

You can do surgeries in other places besides robotics and surgery room though. I know particle accelerator code checks for nearby accelerator parts, you could modify that to check for nearby operating computers.

Perakp

I'd prefer instructions being shown on the computer next to the surgery table. It wouldn't feel as hamfisted, with enough creativity you could slip in some fluff about the patient's condition. (or just have the now useless computer link to the wiki

)

I would pay TC's for an implant that lets me identify other traitors. +1 to implant. An implant to let you see any other traitor with an implant.

How easy is it Byond coding in principle is fairly easy, comparable or a bit easier than java or C, maybe even a good starting language. Like with any project in any language, the hard part is not coming up with new code, but understanding the old code. It depends a lot on what part of the codebase...

I got this game since it looked interesting, and it was, but also made me feel disappoint enough to come make a rant topic here.
