/tg/Station 13

Long I have dreamed of a world where the tram is faster than the average spaceman. A world where walking on the transit rail is merely an act of a mad man rather than an impatient one.

Today I wish to make that dream a reality.

As it currently stands, the tram is about as fast as it'll get with current optimization due to movement code without going into issues with high time dilation if cranked up during an active round. I'd like to see this changed to something a bit faster if possible.

Main Caveats...

The gun worked and it was really cool. But it'd crash the server. Eventually, every round it was used it.

I'm not really sure how or why, and it wasn't always an immediate crash. But whenever the item was used the server would go down.

$20 bucks to whoever can fix it.

Edit: It's issue post.

Tl:Dr how to make Senpais notice my PR so it can be merged (or rejected).

Hi, a week ago I requested PR to fix genetics (monkeys despite wiki claim do not generate CRISPR charge. Instead of making a bug report I wanted to contribute to the game and made a quick fix. I pushed the branch and made Pull Request. It went silent and then went stale. I thought that maybe you need to announce it somewhere so I asked on Discord (no reply) and asked Mothblocks as it seems he is maintaining this part of game - no...

Blob spores are currently unable to do the one thing they are supposed to do. Walk through blob tiles. Blob tiles currently act as walls for them and while they can see through these tiles, they cannot move through them at all, leading many to think that Blob Spore rally is broken.

It was broken by this PR and has been reported three times with the third issue report being closed.
Issue Report #1 and #2 which are still open. ,

$8 USD to whoever gets Blob Spores able to actually move through blob walls.

Note: expersci has been merged, and those wishing to contribute experiments or content in general should check out our HackMD which provides some documentation and design considerations!

Hello,

We will very soon begin testmerging the experisci science changes. Please use this thread to provide general feedback regarding the new changes.

Any bugs should be reported on the PR itself .

Best wishes,

I consulted Melbert on this and he said and I quote, drones are weird cause they're like both policy and code so I'm sticking this thread here.

OK, so, on paper, I like the idea of being a drone when I don't feel like playing the full extent of a round, you're just a little guy, you're helping out, slowly making fixes and stuff to the station. Drones are never subverted, they don't care about what the AI, or anyone else, wants. Cool right? Wrong.

Problem is, as of the changes to drones a wee bit ago (I...

How many Beam attacks does the game have?

I know of 4. The first being The currently admin only Solar Beam from that jungle planet plant. It's pretty flashy, does little damage though.

The second being that Cult Blood-Beam. It's tough to get, and is more of a area conversion aoe rather then something you shoot at an enemy (Especially with all that charge time lol.)

The third being Kevinz Beam Rifle. I honestly haven't seen this weapon at all in 9 months. Where did it go. Did it get removed? Did it get...

Changelings are the perfect killing machines. Regeneration, Assassination, and one million different disguises.

What can you give them to make them not feel so samey every round?

Full. Immersion.

You've heard of having changelings abandoning their disguise to become brutal killing machines.

But have you ever heard of changelings abandoning their lethal abilities in exchange for being able to deeply intertwine themselves within a role?

Parasitic Revival

Upon killing another player, the ling will do...

$50 bucks for the gamer who fixes it. Some new fangled stomach change broke its reaction.

EDIT: Bounty is now closed and the PR has been merged. Thank You vincentiusvin for making the PR and cobby for merging it

DM me on here or discord/reddit/??? and we'll figure out how you want to get that money to you

Currently working on a map for tgmc in which a ship has been hit by a meteor and crashed on a xeno home world.

Looking to make a weather event in which meteors rain down doing knockback and damage but no cade damage.

Would anyone have advice on where to start with the code? I use Visual studio and can run debug/gitraken and can pr would just like some tips please.

If there's no leader sentient swarmer, these swarmers will permanently stun you forever with no reprieve.

Hell on a depopulated/low-playerbase station.

Like sentient swarmers they should teleport you away and cuff you after a while, at least that's what the old drone code did.

Or they should have a small amount of brute damage to put you out of your misery.

I want there a chance to spawn winterland the opposite of lavaland that uses the snow sprites.
There will need to be new sprites made like ice chasms and maybe thin ice that once stepped on causes you to fall though and take thermal damage.
Will need snow storms to replace the ash storms.

Paying 100$ via paypal to the one who makes the pr

We have too few junkmail lines in the game, like 14 or 15 plus a few oddball ones like the artefact/secret numbers. This means the same junkmail can roll too often in specific circumstances. Wanna help me add some more? Post your junkmail in this thread:

please post feedback on station traits here. feel free to post ideas for new traits as well

£25 for a PR (that gets accepted) that will make me able to see all the prayers and Centcom/Syndicate requests made in the current round.
An Additional £10 if you can make an accepted PR that makes all of the above make a sound that is optional in preferences.

I believe administrative PRs are exempt from the feature freeze.

Morning boys and girls, I like decal painters, they're neat, but also a pain in the ass, I want them to suck less and this is my concept art for what that might look like:

I spoke to Heart, who said something about making them greyscale, they seemed generally supportive. I've wanted to refactor the decal printer for a minute, we need it to be greyscale they say.

Make me an offer though I have, like, no idea how code bounties work, or how much this should be worth, I can be reached at Himeko#8008 a...

port antag hud from literally any server, including follow having the antags in the list visible to those with antag hud, make them unable to participate in the round in any way

name your price coders, buzz me on discord at SquidQueen#3107

Put it here, don't be rude

also, if your feedback is one sentence I'll fucking delete it I swear to god.

Basically, I want there to be a way for portraits to be printable/orderable in some method. Traz did something somewhat similar with AIs being able to change their core sprites to portraits, as shown here

Preferably it would be something tied in with the library book ordering system, if there is a better method you can think of then go ahead.

Payment will be $20 probably, I don't know if this is reasonable or not so if you want to discuss it go ahead.

Edit: Seems no one is interested, and I don't want to keep checking back in the event someone randomly decides to take it, so I'm closing the bounty.

This guide has been moved to
It will be left up here in the state it was in for posterity but you should go to the updated version instead.

The datum component system (DCS) which was added in has been around for a while now and deserves a proper introduction and some explanation now that it's being more commonly used and expanded on. This has been a while coming, blame me for my laziness.

DCS is complicated. Not just because it uses clever solutions for complicated problems, the way you have to think...

im banned from the github and from the coding channel on discord but last round i had a bloody janitor plasmaman envirosuit and the sprite in my inventory reset to a unbloodied one after i removed and put my clown pin back on;

the worn sprite was still covered with blood though even though the inventory sprite was not

Hello and welcome to another thread made by me, this time it's about hacktoberfest!

Register here!

It's free! What are you waiting for!

Make four prs between October 1st and October 31 anywhere in the world, and have them approved by a maintainer or merged. Unfortunately closed PRs are no longer counted towards the goal, but it's not too hard to get a...

So I was trying to test and basically the orange iconed window that comes up was sending me dots instead of running the game. After troubleshooting I had to resort to asking for help on Discord, but only got cryptic answers from people who seemed to think it was the most obvious thing in the world. Eventually a green name hinted that as of writing you can't run a .dmb with the latest BYOND version. 514.1514 worked for me. Not sure how you're supposed to know this but I thought I'd post it here so other...

Hello, head coder for TGMC here.

Starting on December 1st, 2020 TGMC will be hosting coding contest.

Official rules are available here, along with the slides used.

Rules in brief:
1. make the best design document.
2. actually code it.

First prize 110 USD
Second Prize 100 USD

TGMC Discord:

I am currently playing in the worst fucking round ever on manuel, some asshole is playing wiz and just running around with a locker staff. A weapon that puts people into welded lockers that take 2 minutes to get out of without help is so OP that it turns the round into one person just griefing every other player. A situation where one person gets to have fun at the expense of literally everyone else is not a situation that should be allowed to happen in a game like this.

Said tool in fact already exists at:
Perhaps a better tooling language than java could be used, but it does exist for now.
Someone just needs to in fact make the automation tooling which naturally is not a trivial task.

Requirements:
- Runnable from CLI with no user input outside of initial command (automation friendly)
- Input is map file with git conflict already in it
- GUI interface is preferred but not required
- Output in TGM format
- Change output path via command line flag
- Automatically resolve...

Alright fuckers

this change is so fucking bad and stupid that it's literally making me never want to admin again. this was possibly intentional and if so well played

I dont know who did this, I'm not going to go back and check because if I ever find out who did I will grudge them for years

here's my explanation of why it's shit.

I don't care what you do, you can fucking revert it for all I care, if it gets done, you get money. I don't care who I just want it to stop make it fucking stop MAKE IT STOP

Hello I'm edge and I'm a feature coder that has coded things like heretics or tatp, and I'm for hire. I'm make your feature come into reality, just bear in mind that you are paying for the code written, not feature merged. I can work on both small features like couple of new chems and massive ones like new antags or massive reworks. DM me on discord Edge#3609 with the code request, i will respond a lot faster that way. Price is negotiated between both parties.

Hello, absolutely clueless and hopeless 'coder' here.

I don't know anything about coding. I want to add two objects to the game: a fencing epee and bag. I have made the sprites but I do not know how to even start the process of converting the sprites into objects.

Any help would be appreciated!

I'm trying to set up custom keybindings such as flip and spin. I've set hotkey mode to Hotkeys. Every time I I get the pop up telling me to press anything to set it. I press the desired button and nothing happens. The pop up window stays where it's at and nothing changes. I've tried the with the same result. I've uninstalled and reinstalled byond. I've updated IE because that was recommended to try that. I've set everything back to default many times. I've swapped from keybinds to default and saved and...
