Admin AI holopad

[WJohnston]

I think it'd be cool if there were a unique holopad that admins could spawn in. If admins click on it they would be given a prompt of what to appear as (centcomm admiral/official, syndie, ai hologram and a bunch of other things), all in hologram visuals, followed by choosing your name. This'd be a nice IC way or relaying information to players without subtle messaging them constantly, and would be less of a one-way conversation.

The current method of doing this takes a fair bit of setup by making an AI core, putting ourselves in it, and then being restricted to default ai looks for using holopads. You also run the risk of having borgs slaved to you and that's real bad.

As an admin who likes to roleplay with command and relay information, this is such a good fucking idea. Only addition is allowing us to also appear as a clown.

Fucking genius.

EDIT: And corgis. Nothing would bring me more delight to relay "BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK YIP" to Ian and then have him casually leave the room as a human walks in.

I really like the sound of this. I was thinking of something like this the other day too, I would definitely be a frequent user of this.

Should be pretty easy to do once there are sprites of holo-centcomm.

I'm gonna bump this every week until someone codes this.

From my understanding this is also called:

Admin Help
Emagged Communication Console
The rare "heard" prayer
Regular Communication Console
Cent Comm Update

If anything make the book checkout double for a email service to ask cent comm for stupid shit and if shitcurity is on a all time rise a inspection, good way to get a completely incompetent captain fired via mutiny without fear of an temp job ban. Emagged works like a Emagged Console but has a chance of failing and if failed it alerts the crew that a encrypted messased at <computer> in <location> was detected.

Bumping this.

[QuartzCrystal]

If someone steps up to code and implement them I'll give them all the high fives.

[QuartzCrystal]

BUMP.

You can bump it when the feature freeze is over
