Yeah, I studied spelunky’s procedural generation methods back in the day (which isn’t hard, they’re amazingly simple). There’s a measure of direct influence. To be clear, I don’t currently have the coder chops to implement this myself, but I’d be happy to work with anyone who wanted to try. Should a...

This would be a more regulated procedural design method that lavaland could use, basically creating a macro-scale blueprint before that part where it lays down all the tunnels and lava. It would integrate the lavaland ruins into a more natural procedural environment, and create an interesting maze o...

First off: I literally haven't even played the mode. If any/all of the following ain't useful just ignore it. Angles for balancing wallspam/rewarding approaches that take a little more thought: No wall can have more than 3 walls in the 8 adjacent tiles. (As soon as any wall has 3 such adjacent walls...

Dagdammit

Have it trigger 5+1d10 minutes in. Dunno, I'd enjoy it as the traitor. We're sleeper agents with memory implants, so it completely fits the premise. Encourages covert play and/or creates dramatic & memorable moments if it prompts someone to immediately go loud. It does add a bit of extra challen...

Dagdammit

Iatots could have a point. This is an awkward road to go down- I mean, there are human-size disposal pipes that fit between the floor plating and floor tiles.

Dagdammit

It's shading, yeah. The vertical surfaces would be darker due to lighting. Compare the front of an emergency 02 locker to the side of it.

Dagdammit

Imblyings, I think you're right that... how do I put this... when it comes to the "tone" of ss13, what it should/could be, and whether something fits that? I acknowledge and agree that there's no objective, mathematically correct answer. When I make statements like "Space Station 13 i...

Don't come at me with this odd almost crab in a bucket mediocrity mindset. Mind restating this a different way? I don't think I follow. nor did I so I googled it "If I can't have it, neither can you" So it feels to him like I'm trying to stop him from having a nice thing because I've been...

Dagdammit

Oh I agree that 32x32 sprites mean there's likely no better option- going beyond the current minor differences inherently means giving the female characters super-overdone hourglass figures. That's why we shouldn't do it? Because there's no way to do it that doesn't cause a significant tone shift wh...

Dagdammit

Or maybe they shouldn't be GETTING that many opportunities.

Ignore me if I don't grasp the current tgstation context well enough for this input to apply, but: personally, I'd rather make xenomorphs rare than make them a fair fight with a 50% win rate. They should be a powerful and terrifying threat.

Dagdammit

I really do appreciate the hard work that goes into the tools you're making, for the record. It seems like a tricky challenge that's taking some clever solutions to overcome. Real "could" vs. "should" scenario. =/

Dagdammit

Pls not the poison mechanics from bees. That feature is really... goofy. Its way too random and can end up giving you incredibly shit toxins or an overpowered one. Id rather have a more consistent option than memey randomness. Oh absolutely, wasn't saying to use the MECHANICS- just the procedural c...

Dagdammit

Sigourney isn't ugly though, and she's a strong female lead. What's your dealio dag. Exactly. The room of hypothetical people saying "sigourney weaver is an ugly bitch and they should have cast pamela anderson as Ripley instead" would make me go "these people are tasteless morons wit...

Dagdammit

snip I really don't think this is a good parallel to draw female pyro model is retarded anyways Fem pyro model is SUPER retarded. The creator took an androgynous, utilitarian, loose-fitting work outfit (over a body of unknown and irrelevant proportions) and deciding that the FEMALE version should c...

Dagdammit

Could do the bee thing and color code part of them to reflect the chem.

Dagdammit

I like them. They're one of the better mini antags/threats for the crew to have to deal with. I like that they spread through the neglected parts of the station, could lead to unexpected danger when you open a room, crew can be proactive and communicate to get the situation under control, and the th...

Supermatter setup involves fewer space carp attacks.

Redundant power options are a feature, not a design oversight.

I hope to god this project is kill. It's one of the worst things I've ever seen from /tg/. http://i.imgur.com/LDIuolM.png "Guys the female body and clothing sprites are really ugly, we need some better art." http://i.imgur.com/MeHqvSy.png "Great, problem solved! Good job team, glad we...

i swear to god the ripley was a more brighter yellow that's quite surprising Ripley has more shades than I used and there is one that's a little brighter, I may go back and swap it in. Mech plating in this project is simplified to using 5 shades max so I can swap color schemes around. [img] D-do yo...

What if you had a hall from northern doors of warden's command center that linked directly into the armory, and gave both that hall and the warden's command center standard walls instead of r-walls? Hallway could also have sec doors on sides to keep the circular cell patrol route.Probably wouldn't w...

I wanted to see if there was any interest in just finding more wizardy objectives for the standard wizard game mode. You had made a thread wiznerd suggestions. I actually really like Steal, and regret not saying so before now. Staff Ritual's uses seem relatively limited for the cost; would you want ...

Dagdammit

Most of the objectives could be lost before the wizard TPS into station, and the current item loot wizards have (along with kill objectives) let them loose enough that they can actually choose spells they'd want to try out. Say we had that shaving objective. This means you will be restricted into t...

Dagdammit

From this concept nobody liked : What if wizards had more scavenger hunt-style objectives, focused on obtaining "items of mystic significance"? For example: Gather at least 5 of the following 6 spell components: 1. A wanted poster of Timato Vegetable, the Botanist. 2. An electric razor tha...

Ayys who have unique Ayy only equipment and one job, power their doom-ray: They have essentially hand held versions of the swarmer recycler and their job is to go onto the station and suck up as much power as they can for their fusion cannon. As the cannon powers up more and more bad shit happens t...

There should be one for corpses to remain infectious, and a top-tier option to make it so dead infectees become npc zombies.

Wiz Scavenger Hunt Ops.

Dagdammit

This actually sounds pretty cool. 4 lings may be too much tho. From a balance standpoint, agreed. Makes it tricky to not give them too much power. At the same time, I feel like you lose something if it's less than 3-4 people. why not have gimmick shipments people can buy that scale price with the a...

Dagdammit

I want quality modes not a mode whose selling points included "it was easy to make" They're not mutually exclusive, dipshit. Any mode which can take a significant portion of its sprites and antag abilities from existing content is by nature going to be easier to make, and thus easier to m...

Dagdammit

Allow me to clarify I really do not think that rehashing a good mode we already have is a good idea when we could try new things what do i know though It's not like we have to choose one of the two options. And it takes alot less work to make most of these than it does to make a new thing from scra...

Dagdammit

I'd rather know if they were successful? Just for the sake of better understanding how a round went down.

Dagdammit

Can we get pics of new interface?

...Christ, every single person in this thread assumes I meant changelings with a full nuke ops armory, huh? No one bothered to read the part where I said they'd have no equipment?

Dagdammit

Alternately: surplus crate ling ops. Random set of powers at roundstart, team must plan accordingly. If you absorb enough victims to respec, selling roundstart powers only earns about half their normal refund value.

Dagdammit

I don't have much comment on what powers should be like, how they should change, etc. Too hard to make that call without testing honestly. But I think it's worth emphasizing that they would start with literally nothing in terms of equipment- no headsets, no ID cards... nor would they have any kind o...

Interesting. Natural place would be midround antag, but by all means aim for making it viable as a mode. I dig the idea of only seeing what hosts see, though depending on your luck with a single initial host it would make for a real boring roundstart (especially if you can't choose your initial infe...

Automated warnings on engineering channel when emitters that were switched on go offline due to power outage, or when the relevant APC falls below 20% charge. Multiple ways for a saboteur to work either.

Dagdammit

In case it's useful, here's the colors used in mech sprites for their external plating- more or less, this is just a screengrab from a current spriting project and I forget if I've tweaked anything.

Dagdammit

That's outrageous. You should pay me instead, I bet my rates are much more reasonable.

Dagdammit

Wouldn't slings just tell the bad thrall to kill themselves, and/or report to maint for their murdering?

Xhuis, want sprites for anything yet?

Daily reminder this isn't getting merged until we either axe cult/clockcult/rev or we get occlusion cones for vision so stealth is actually fun (I'd prefer the latter) this is stupid. arbitrary limit on how many gamemodes we have is like cutting off an arm because hey we already have three other li...

Small point rewards for filling out & submitting proper paperwork on any instance of someone getting brigged. (May be largely automated, i.e. shows punishment & crimes and requires warden's stamp of approval for submission.
