Re: Simple Questions Thread
I think the wrench method works (screwdriver > wrench) but otherwise you can reconstruct them using the same parts from scratch if you just gut out the machine with a lever and rebuild it elsewhere (screwdriver > lever out parts > cut machine frame wires and wrench the frame into metal > reconstruct from scratch and screwdriver to complete using parts)Reece wrote:Is there a way to move sleepers?

They all behave the same way. You put them on and select the disguise through the relevant HUD icons, they're all lightly armoured but be warned that just because you disguise your exosuit/helmet as a hardsuit: Doesn't mean it'll protect you from the vacuum of space.Luke Cox wrote:How do the different items in the Chameleon Kit function?
The chameleon mask can be used in hand to enable/disable voice mimicry and the shoes (last I checked) have no_slip functionality.
The chameleon stamp must be used in hand to select a disguise to pick. As a side note: disguising it as, say, the Captain's stamp and putting it in a washing machine with a jumpsuit will disguise it as a Captain's jumpsuit

If playing as a character with additional bodyparts (filthy lizard), the facemask does not properly recreate the snout bit when facing sideways, making your face look off. More importantly, chameleon versions of heavy outerwear like firesuits or hardsuits do not hide tails. A tail poking through a hardsuit is a dead giveaway that something is up.
Also, you cannot use an agent card to change the name associated with the chameleon PDA, only its job. Which means if you want to use face concealing masks and pose as someone else, you have to stick the card directly into the ID slot. I know regular PDAs don't let you change the owner's name, but I was hoping the stealth option would give you that flexibility.

Re: Simple Questions Thread
Don't really know where else to ask since ban requests were closed down and admin complains seem like the wrong place as well.
So just to be clear... adminhelps are now handeled with absolute zero transparency? You can adminhelp if someone breaks the rule, you don't get a notification that it's even looked into unless you're asking multiple times and all you ever get is a "it's resolved" with absolutely no additional information?
So I have absolutely no idea if the rules were enforces, the player got a warning or a ban or if the admin just high-fived him behind my back?
You simply have to take an admins word for it? There's little to no accountability?
You can't even know if they did something at all or simply told you something to shut you up?
Because I have to say that I am not very happy with that. You see a player clearly and blatantly breaking the rules when that player should know better, you adminhelp it, get no response whatsover, you adminhelp it again and then you just have to put your faith into the admin doing something while the offending player in question seemingly carries on with their round like nothing ever happened.

I've read through the admin guidelines and here're two things that caught my attention.
This too often does not happen in my experience, often you have to adminhelp two times to get an acknowledgement.Adminhelps should be answered in a timely manner. Let the ahelper know you're looking into his complaint to acknowledge that you're looking into it.
This almost never happens, at least I can't recall ever seeing it happen. The vast majority of the time (in my experience) the conversation simply cuts off and you have to keep on nagging to get an answer.Let the ahelper know once you've resolved their complaint. You shouldn't tell them what the resolution was as long as the round is still ongoing as they could infer meta-information from it, but a simple "It's been resolved" can go a long way for them to know you're doing your job. If they insist on knowing what the resolution was, just tell them to adminhelp after the round ends, when it would be safe to tell them.
And personally I'm not very statisfied with "It's been resolved" since it's such a non-statement. Though some admins let you know a bit more which is appreciated. A simple "They have been warned" or "They have/will be banned" goes a much longer way to let a player know you're doing your job and it doesn't give out any information about the roundttype or whatever. Even a simple "valid" or "it was a honest mistake" is more statisfying.
But maybe that's just me.
Also I was never offered by an admin to know about it post-round, so I never even considered asking... which I just attempted but was just told the same.
To me it just feels like nothing has been done since I'm unable or not allowed to know about it and it kind of puts a dent into my trust in the admins. Next time someone is blatantly breaking the rules I might not even bother. (though that's a bit of a hyperbole, it is pretty disheartenting though)
Really not the best communication going on here.
Re: Simple Questions Thread
Bans applied should appear in the post round summary.
I don't know why we came up with the concept that rule breakers deserve privacy. Fuck 'em, name and shame them and let them be an example to the other shitlers that might get the same bright ideas to think twice.

Re: Simple Questions Thread
So we know who to murder next time at round start? The amount of times I've been murdered by shitheels who then turn out to be non antags is absurd. It's a public service to name and shame them so we can pressure them into either fucking off, or simply not being shitheads, red text going 'don't do that shit' is less annoying than the station taking out of the day to kill you at round start because you act like a cunt.

Fun fact, if you can dose people up with black powder; setting them on fire will ignite the powder inside of them if you can raise their temperature to ignition point. Such as setting them on fire.
Or, you can eat a whole bunch and turn yourself into a walking suicide bomb. You can even potentially reach maxcap if you eat enough.

Then your explosive yield will not be arbitrarily limited by the bomb cap. In the past this was generally a bad idea for admins to do ever, as it caused massive amounts of lag and could potentially lead to a crash. However apparently lag is ded (although this is certainly not true on basil) and so maybe it is not so bad anymore

1000 units of black powder were as much as I could cram into myself.
Doused myself in Cuban rum and lit myself up, hit (13, 27, 55) and a metric shitton of lag - quite possibly because of the >6000u of blackpowder I had stored nearby that went up in a (92, 185, 371) bang.
