That seems contrary to the mentality that any door could be shocked because all AIs are rogue and evil, just waiting to go delta.

Neerti

You don't have to call him a moron. It's a pretty crappy/overpriced ability nobody uses anyways.

Neerti

For variables, I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but variables need to be defined somewhere in order to actually use it. Say if I wanted to add a variable called 'foo' to an object. Doesn't matter which object, completely arbitrary. I'd write something like this. /obj/item/weapon/bar name = "...

Neerti

What happened to your The Fun Ends Here empire?

Also how do you rename your country?

Neerti

There is a flag called INFINITE, which just means it's a very, very big number (also you got fun things that do nothing meaningful like SPEED_OF_LIGHT and even a e=mc2 proc) The inf capacity cell doesn't use that. It just never goes down, but I suspect the ninja suit doesn't actually 'use' the cell,...

Neerti

AIs/borgs are already fire-immune.

Neerti

It's already covered in the proposed policy pandar made.

Neerti

We don't need even more complications and clauses.

If you make a power that you need to buy to communicate, nobody would get it since, 1. you waste a power on something that nobody else might buy, 2. lings aren't required to help you anyways, 3. talking is a weakness. For ling-to-absorbee communication, it'd only really work out if the person absorb...

1. Ninjas are made by RNG all the time (maybe you just never see them due to being ninjas). From a player's perspective, you can't tell if an admin did it or not. I rarely see admins actually press the button (fun fact: There's three separate buttons to make a spess ninja). Also, >People still think...

>Hulks being human is "good" for game balance
>Hulks counter AIs by being human
>But rogue/malf AIs aren't gonna care about human status?????

Neerti

While that system would be neat, it's unrealistic in terms of having /tg/ adopt them.

Neerti

Most of that part was made with the current meta in mind. It's unrealistic to expect everyone to follow the new rules if they're radically different from the current norms.

Neerti

Three slots (perma) in which players can be kept in a 5-tile area surrounded on either end by unbreakable blast doors with absolutely no oversight or radio communication. If you're in perma, you probably did something to deserve it. If perma was easy to break out, guess what. Sec wouldn't permabrig...

Erro named the board on the oldforums stenography. Before it was called the peanut gallery.

Neerti

It gives assistants an excuse to grief security.

Additionally, you can't trust your comrades, meaning there's less teamwork.

Neerti

The first would be ideal, if possible, so that two minutes after the captain eats his nice burger he starts dying and tatorchef can make him into more burgers and repeat the cycle.

Adding a delayed poison would be nice.

Look at ody med HUDs. There might be a proc for it.

Neerti

That already happens when it sees Pun Pun.

It'd be better to make a child of the uplink implant so you don't need to do five emotes to spend all your tc.

-edit- Actually, you could adjust the starting tc dynamically with New().

Neerti

Did you even read the thing?

Neerti

Here's a very rough draft of a revision for the policies. I added some things but I believe it will lead to a better server. I know it's 12 pages long, but this adds lots of unspoken policies and expands on rules. THE FOLLOWING BELOW IS ONLY A DRAFT https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jnO3MAkgmH8sbm...

Neerti

There’s a lot here, but the gist of the rules is roleplay takes priority . Don’t murder just for fun if you’re not antag. Don’t metagame. Don’t play to win. Don’t be a jerk OOCly. If you don’t understand what those words mean or you need more detail, read on! " Everything I've underlined/bolde...

What if someone doesn't want this change?

Being a fly gives you tons of tox damage.

Rules 0 and 1 have their place, but they're really flawed, and shouldn't be relied upon to remove a problem player.

Neerti

MisterPerson wrote:These are the cases that rules 0 and 1 are designed to cover. Do you, as an admin, feel something is unacceptable? Feel free to disallow the behavior.

I cannot actually do this, without putting myself at great risk.

Neerti

Maybe there needs to be a strong definitive definition of exactly what terms like metagaming, power gaming and similar are? Strong definitive definitions of meta/powergaming aren't possible without something like this , due to the dynamic nature of the game. No two rounds are alike. To be frank, ev...

This is copypasted from oldforums. http://www.ss13.eu/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=4371 tl;dr : Less policy makes admins' jobs harder for political reasons. I see several admins and players wanting to have a policy, which consists of no other policies besides 'don't be a dick' and maybe rule zero....

Neerti

Cyborgs are considered 'dead' for objective purposes.

Neerti

Not reading the rules isn't a valid excuse to not follow them.

Neerti

You can follow my progress and even try out the unfinished gamemode by yourself, with github.

Neerti

Then you get robusted by him/sec.

Neerti

That's because >byond rng.

but they're getting the axe soon, pandar.

One time as an AI, the clown PDA'd me asking to announce that there was a fire in the threatre. The clown wrote the word 'FIRE' in crayon on the floor in there.

It was one of the few times a clown actually made me laugh OOC.

Neerti

Why do people do just that in double agent?

Shitlorde McMeta says [149.5], "URIST MCTRAITOR IS A TATOR HE HAS DOCUMENTS SECURITY"

Neerti

I don't see how something that's easily circumvented and can be done by the AI manually for free deserves to be worth 40 CPU.

Neerti

I seem to be short on some straw, can I have some of yours? I've seen you grasping at them for quite awhile now. But in seriousness, a medical rework would be one of the greatest undertakings for the code, since many, many things revolve around how you die. You'd need good plan on how to accomplish ...

I've combined the works of Neinhaus's banner and MrSnapwalk's armor for this nice set.

I've made a post on the old forums, but sadly it's gone now, about why few simple rules just don't work.

if you don't want to read the rules, don't play AI, it's that simple.

Neerti

Agreed with the above @Arux, If you wanted the upload inside you can easily hack in and, if you're clever, make it look like it never happened. If you wanted something besides the upload you could ask the AI to open it and not take the upload since the AI would probably watch you to make sure you di...

This is a proposed silicon policy. Right now you can't harm hulks (which I personally think is bs but w/e)

-edit- dat space ninja.

Neerti

I have a neat system in my head about how to accomplish this with stuff we already have but I don't think I could get to it in quite a long time due to other projects being in the way.

Neerti

If they managed to break into the upload it implies they, A. Have the tools needed to hack two airlocks, B. Have access to the upload(Stolen HoP/Capt ID, if you're RD you're SoL here.), or C. Have an emag. All of which can make the APC turn on again. I'm also very against adding a rule one protectio...

There already is one in my code, and for good reason. To test the god mob.

I need ideas for the forge recipes. The actual forge is done and it uses Razharas's crafting system so it's pretty neat.

I need to finish two (and a half but it's so simple) structures then I'm finished with structures. For abilities I think I just need to add a few checks for nexus/conduit range, maybe experiment with on_click so the deity can do stuff without using some verbs. After this, I need to add roundstart an...
