Dagdammit

I dunno about potent ones like revival and chem implants, but I'd support it for general utility things like toolset implants, nutrient pumps and Medical HUD on a couple conditions: -It only carries over if you escape alive as non-antag. I like the idea of having a little more at stake to make you w...

Dagdammit

Finally tracked the gas tile effects sprites down myself. God damn it, they're 32x32 after all. I'll see what I can come up with.

Dagdammit

I'll try and figure out how to do that after work is done. Where would I go to find the .dmi with particle sprites for anither gas?

Dagdammit

Love you too, guy who carefully reads threads.

Out of curiousity, would you rather have BZ than this thing?

Dagdammit

Need to see how it looks in-game, will probably change it to have a few shades of grey.

Also I have no idea how to make this into a usable sprite in-game. Can supply the frames in whatever form works (including transparent background) if someone else can assist.

Dagdammit

Okay, think I have a decent gas particle loop. http://i.imgur.com/dunVmH8.gif Final version would probably have several shades of grey, though I'll have to see it in practice to be sure. I actually WANT it to blend with the background to some degree- ideally just enough to not immediately catch your...

Dagdammit

Clowns were added as a griefer punishment, have become the single most iconic thing about SS13. I'm not seeing much of a glory days to return to. That said, Armhulen's idea of a MUTUAL incap effect? Something that's guaranteed to slip/stun the clown at least as long as it does their target? I think ...

Dagdammit

Alternately, "nightmare" version of hallucination code.

Dagdammit

Individual players find themselves temporarily shifted into a version of the station whose walls look all rusted and whose lights are all off. Personal light sources are weaker than normal and flicker. There are no other people visible to them, and they can't be seen or affected by others in "r...

Dagdammit

Sounds like mind-controlled victims of Biotic Integration have their mouths fused shut? Seems like a missed opportunity, compared to what you'd get by letting the original body's owner still talk. (could be intermittent, slurred, or the ghost could force the host's mouth shut but slowly expend stami...

Dagdammit

Absolutely seconded re: SOMA, I'd love to see that be an influence. Really notable as a fairly fresh take on this concept IMO- the WAU is great both as a monstrous force and as a novel extension of various sci-fi concepts. I would honestly love to see the core premise steal some of the really good j...

Dagdammit

I feel like the main thing holding this idea back is... Well, the scenario in my head that is 100% SS13 is if someone trips while going to board the shuttle, and then gets trampled by a mob of people plus a janitor on their janikart, sending them down to around half health. But that won't happen in ...

I know it's a codersprite, but one quick thought:

Dagdammit

it feels like this would work better as a chem than a gas It is a chem too. You can contaminate some random sink, fill a bunch of beakers, filter out the water and have distilled Pax chemical reagent to work with. Alternately, dump a plant bag out on a contaminated table, gather them all back up an...

Dagdammit

Does emagging biogenerator do anything at the moment? Could let you make Smuggler's Satchels and Military Belts. Have them cost like 2k biomass each.

Dagdammit

Was able to test gas loop, 3-pixel long particles look crappy so I'm doing second draft.

Dagdammit

Yeah I have no idea who Bryce Pax is. And the gas is intended to much less of a threat so long as people catch on and can warn others via comms. Aim is to force the person using it to think. Got a rough particle loop, need to animate and see if any good. https://i.gyazo.com/200739784936b2e2a7b193f09...

Dagdammit

Honestly what sounds nice in my head is a console that: -stores parts -lets me shove a gun in it, add parts (swapping replaced parts into storage), and then pop the gun out ready to use -maybe lets me choose to load it with stored ammo for good measure Something where an officer can quickly get half...

Dagdammit

Good question, I'm also wondering.

Dagdammit

Do all gas sprites use recolors of the same sprite frames you get for plasma? Can you link me to that sprite?

Dagdammit

howzis

Dagdammit

Give the welding gas mask an auto-tint lens. Instantly darkens to welding-lens levels anytime you weld or see another bright flash, reverts after a couple seconds. They exist in real life, I use one with my welding job every day.

Dagdammit

Aight. Gas canister, mainly?

Awesome! Is there stuff I can do to assist? Could attempt pseudocode for the remaining hard details.

Dagdammit

pax is the roman goddess of peace, i feel like i've tried to explain this before i honestly doubt this idea will work, but i still want to see it implemented. maybe add some roleplay cues in the chat log, get that roleplay magic going again? The whole intent is to make it tricky to catch on, so I w...

I did say "mangle", feel free to offer versuons that actually work under rules of latin grammar. The Beast sounds good to me though.

Why yes.Yes it was.

Dagdammit

Poking around in latin a bit for terms you can mangle in ways that sound cool. viscus means viscera, flesh, entrails, internal organs, offspring, carcass If you want something like a scientific name or gamemode title: crescat viscus for "growing flesh" viscus machinae for "flesh machi...

Yeah sorry, tried to make it as readable as I could but it's still a wall of text. Added my pitiful attempt at a "short version" to the start of the post

Dagdammit

This was brainstormed for a thread on revamping BZ gas, but I'd like to discuss the concept's merits+feasiblity on its own. Let's call our chemical agent Pax, because it has similar "good" intentions as the drug in the Firefly movie. Nanotrasen claims it is an "experimental riot contr...

Could also have an old gunsmithing place in maint that got raided and trashed by sec, barricaded up and forgotten. Cobwebs, smashed consoles but the boards are still there, etc.

I don't even know if they'd be that good for SS13. I mean, tools you have to wire directly into grid, that's a neatish drawback in theory. Instead of (say) only being able to hold something in two hands, you have to be standing on a tile with exposed wires, need a second (plus insulated gloves) to h...

Not saying any of these changes SHOULD be made, I actually think welding tools & related game mechanics are completely fine as is. But I'm doing some welding cert tests at the train+shipyard where I work, and it's got me thinking. For those who want to know, IRL-style welding would have the foll...

Could be interesting to have some kind of "mission control" role for big syndicate rounds, esp. if said mission control can hear all department comms. Not sure how it'd work for DA rounds.

Dagdammit

If I just chose guitar/violin/piano/etc. from a list and got the same intrument control window as when I used a normal instrument as a human? Awesome, fund it.

Dagdammit

Rad, that's what I aimed for.

Time to figure out the best themes for a guitar-wielding nuke ops team to play. Mission Impossible?

Dagdammit

Short version: make it so two people can play 2 different instrument tracks for a given song. Implementation: -Instruments in your hand can now be set to "Accompany" mode (or whatever you wanna call it), in which case the window will now say "Waiting for lead performance..." with...

Dagdammit

I'm fine with not being able to scout as ghost, but in that event it'd be nice to have some other kind of hint as to the direction+presence of Nearby Interesting Things- especially as lavaland spawns have such reduced capacity for exploration.

Dagdammit

Sounds like the "list available designs, other departments can ask for them, and if R&D grants request you get it at your department" option has decent support.

Dagdammit

Well, what else are the lazy bums going to do?

Dagdammit

Assuming, for the sake of discussion, that it's justified with some "bluespace" handwave: What if each department's specialized protolathe came with an R&D requests console, a bit like the Supply Shuttle one visitors can use at cargo? If R&D has the resources, they can grant (or de...

I definitely have rounds where I think "I just wanna go out and explore space". The idea of going out and restoring derelicts? Or improbably finding some other useful-to-station thing you can proudly return home with (like syndicate comms access?) and possibly use to save the day? Or inste...

What if bluespace capsules had some kind of built-in removal function? Not a big red button anyone can hit, but like a wall-mounted panel you have to unscrew and then crowbar out. After that you can activate a "deconstruct" function and the capsule goes away. Edit: Or those with shaft mine...

What about a lock-on mechanic, similar to hotline miami? If you see someone, you can right click on them and choose "take aim", which puts a crosshair icon above their head (for you). All attacks (or all thrown and ranged attacks?) where you click on a tile in their general direction (in a...
