/tg/Station 13

FINALLY, IT IS HERE.

I got the pass from several maintainers to finally start doing this, so here it is, the personal hats thread, I'm the spriter, coder (for the most part ) for this and here is where you request to be a special snowflake, you can only request one item a time so dont go overboard, and NO protective or buffed gear, everything you request must be purely cosmetic.

Things you can request:
-Hats
-Clothes such as cloaks.
-Reskins for gear that appear when you find and pick up ingame.

This is the "alpha" version so there wont be special resprites when you are a certain mob now, but later there will be more options.

Anyone can request, this is strictly coder-based and admins need not do things like spawn your snowfleak ingame, they'll be encoded to be exclusive to you (or anyone you allow them to)

Go on!

So as to not drown ourselves in hatspam, you can only get 1 personalized object and if you want a new one you gotta lose the old one, this restriction may be uplifted later but who knows.

Request form (the simpler the better)

Type of object: (hat, gun reskin, etc)
Description: (straightforward)
Permissions: (exclusive to you, can be worn by anyone etc)

Exclusive items spawn on you roundstart, but can be stolen later!

GO AHEAD.


saddle up soldier, it's ground attack

DESTINY FULFILLED, SCRAPPING THREAD....

Type of object: sniper rifle
Description: awp skin
Permissions: allow for everyone

re: permissions:

dont lock items to ckeys, that fucks shit up because now memers cant disguise no more

You should probably put some restrictions on icons because some items have 999999 icon states.

ill put some restrictions on certain stuff

anyways if you actually have the go ahead for this i want a morphsuit that blends in with floortiles that replaces the cardborg suit only for me thank you

I thought snowflake designs are frowned upon.

They're not truly snowflake designs, you could acquire them ingame by stealing them from the right people, it's who it appears on that matters.

but uh

purely cosmetic man

Can I ask that any uniform Wyzack wears make "VALID" appear in bold, rainbow letters visible for all to see?

Hey listen, I am the first one to recognise the tutleneck's beauty and usage as a tactical garment.

sure, if wyzack agrees to it, also it has to be optional for him

I dont' know which maintainers gave you a pass, but like I said in irc, it's very unlikely this would be allowed.

/tg/station codebase is not in the habit of adding sprites and code that every user has to download just so one person can have a unique looking item.

If adding angel wings as a lavaland drop triggers the coders about snowflake code then this is going to have them die of a heart attack

Give me security jumpsuit that has alt wear style like normal jumpsuit (top half down, not sleeves up).

Yeah, I'm coding an alternate sprites system that allows you to reskin an item once via an action button on it, like a 1 use chameleon with limited options or something. That way everyone can use the sprites but they remain available for usage for the people who want it.

I like it. Someone make an ornate zippo lighter

reeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Please use separate files for this, clothing icon files get bloated as fuck. Look at how I coded var-based inhand icon states in order for inspiration for using separate files.

As for the feature itself, I like it. Adding personal items from the community that aren't shilled donor benefits is a great idea.

Please think the feature out more though. If you're going to be managing this, think of how you're going to 'clean' the files later too. Keep a log of what items belong to what ckeys and clear ones that are old who's users haven't connected. Post announcements saying 'clearing [ckey]'s item and give them a few days to respond. They can always ask for it to be readded later.

Actually you could code this to be server-sided so MSO uploads the files and uses a txt that assigns the players to the files.

Actually fuck it, I'm going to code this myself.

Don't use this code it doesn't work but it's the general idea of what I mean, a much better solution than hardcoding snowflake items on a per-ckey basis.

I'm sure this could work with some tweaks but it's very meh code.

Well If this is FOR REAL then heres a fun little item I would enjoy.
Figure out some way to make it work, I think you know why I want it.
Ported it from the cucks over at colonial marines.
(please it will make my life whole once more)
