The central bookcase spawns a book once clicked on, with a 1-5 minutes timer depending on the book's word count. Once you are done reading a book, yo...

Re: Okand37

Seriously, I rely heavily on avatars to string post histories together in my mind. Please limit yourself to 1 (((one))) avatar with halloween and santa hat variants.
I am ok with you changing avatar if you suddenly become a dick tho.

Re: About 64*64 sprites

There was that coder from /vg a couple weeks ago that had this to say about 64x64: We tried 64x64 sprites. They were reverted 2 days later. Not because of political reasons, but because BYOND shat itself. When I mean shat itself I mean fuck fuck fuck revert. I'd say contact MSO, Oranges or some othe...

Re: Swarmer Horde Lavaland

What if swarmers carried the ore they mine back to base, and every X nuggets a tech item is added to the loot table? The swarmer beacon could use "swarmer satchels" to hold all the ores, which would be better than the normal ones but not as good as bluespace, as well as not being a good te...

Re: Lavaland Update

I like Dagdammint/Kel 's suggestion, get a grid of regions, with less dangerous or "younger" regions closer to the outpost, some moderately mature tendrils inbetween, and a core region with the necropolis gate and a guardian. On the infestation aspect, I too would like to avoid swarmers 2:...

Re: Sprite Requests

Sorry phil but I can't deliver on the attack animation sprites.
I think I made a couple decent kick variants though, plus a cheesy mech fist.

Alright, I think it's time for me to wrap this up since I have made no real progress in the last few days. Sadly I couldn't get the zoot to work worn over the shoulders, it becomes way too bulky. I will just post what I showed in the last preview plus a bunch of recolors. I will probably revisit thi...

Alright so I decided to stick with the two-piece design, and added a suspenders item for good measure. (I think this was already part of the game but can't find it). I have had a bit of a block on the last days because I can't manage the "cold pimp with a zoot as a coat" look, but the base...

Re: Sprite Requests

Well it's not really about armor values, it's that jumpsuits have a predetermined size, and since zoot suits are large using the exo slot could give it a better representation, depending on how you want to use it:

A bit of bulk gives it a more "mobster" look.

I'd say that if linking to a tab is possible, having a second locations table would be superior to having a tabbed one, as it would save 1 click every metastation page visited.

R8, h8 communic8.

Also: is there a way to link a tab specifically? Having links from non-standard stations going to the box tab is not optimal.

Time to steal some formatting from anime wikis. Edit: yep, it's templates all the way down. Personally, I like tabs.

Re: A bit more spoonfeeding on the guide to mapping page ple

Alright thanks for the help on map merger.

In the maps folder, every station has a small file which includes which Z-levels are loaded for each station. People tick them when compiling a station to play on I presume, but do they have a use in the map making process?

Re: Remove Chasms

Does your screen turn into a black blob while watching dark videos? If yes, you might want to turn your gamma up. It will look wonky for a day or so, but the increased detail quickly makes up for it. Or get a better monitor.

Re: Clothing Damage

From a game design point of view it makes no sense to add a feature if you then tweak this feature until it no longer affects gameplay in a relevant way. Adding item damage and then removing it from those items that are more likely to sustain damage makes the feature utterly useless. At that point ...

Goon once put up a construction server, but the stations created were usually a bunch of squares floating in space and connected by catwalks.

There are actual moth cliques that behave much like the furries of old, sticking in group against the (hu)man(s) and being an eyesore.
