This is true, yeah. Once people see that blue APC, nine times out of ten someone is going to yell rogue, but it would still be nice to have it as an optional thing.Remie Richards wrote:That would have to be optional, given that historically the entire point of malf was to be stealth long enough for you to be able to trigger the countdown.chemiiat wrote: another idea for malf modes: electronic devices tied to a hacked APC cannot be used by anything other than the AI who hacked it and are automatically hostile to everything
Cant be stealthy when a department's machines all up and start attacking people.
Teach me how to code in and stomach BYOND's horrid scripting language and I will fix at least (1) bug.kevinz000 wrote:Man if only people fixed bugs and we weren't about to get hit with a hard features freeze...
I was being a little facetious, but I've coded in C++, python, and much to my regret, java.CosmicScientist wrote:Before you trigger some of the coders, I don't believe it's scripting.Shh, don't tell anyone I'm pointing this out so I can find out what a scripting language actually is.
Have you encountered C or C++ before? Or really, any coding language?

byond is pretty simple to get into, if anything it was figuring out how the shit that's already been coded works that was difficult
eh, I'd argue that's not a barrier to learning because if you're starting out you're likely doing simple fixes/etc. and there's usually not much issue getting those in from my experienceCPTANT wrote:Qbopper wrote:it's another "programming languages i dislike are cancer excks dee" episode change the channel please

To be honest it's not even that. It's the getting shit past the coder and maintainer politics that is the hardest.

It also doesn't help that TortoiseGit seems to miss some rather important features such as hard resets.CosmicScientist wrote:GitHub and Git are not first time user friendly.

I agree, it seems to be the first thing that most wraiths do after being created and has happened to me more times than I can remember, absolutely no way to counter it, so no risk to them, and none of the suggestions made, that I can see, would stop this from happening.CPTANT wrote:Also: can we discuss how stupidly easy it is for a wraith to just jaunt right on you and bash you to death?
IIRC The wraith doesn't even have to stand on that square, it can materialize just fine right on top of you.Anonmare wrote:Boxstation generally is a bit better as the AI sat turrets actually have LoS on the area directly in front of you and you can kill the wraith if you're fast enough to switch turrets to lethal.
