General Comms Should List Job Title Of User

[Steelpoint]

See title.

I like it on servers where the ID your wearing showcases on comms what job you are when talking, makes it easier to tell who exactly you are talking to.

You used to be able to do this under the old NTSL system but that was removed for reasons.

[Lumbermancer]

I don't want people to know I'm wearing stolen id.

[Steelpoint]

Maybe restrict it to only certain ID cards then, such as heads of staff.

Or offer traitors a free PDA function that lets them fool headsets into setting whatever job title you want when you're speaking

[Qbopper]

honestly I'd just like to see NTSL somehow return

From what I remember when it was talked about several months ago, it's the GoAnimate version of NTSL

it's better than nothing i'll take it

[Remie Richards]

What.

It's TCL, Tool Command Language in DreamMaker (byond), fluffed as NTCL (Nanotrasen Tool Command Language)
There's nothing "GoAnimate" about it.

NTSL is loosely based on PHP, a real language
NTCL would be a direct port of TCL, which while a simplistic language, has one of the most advanced features of any tool/scripting language, the ability to define parts of the language itself on the fly
(in TCL everything is a string, including itself, meaning you can change it)

Of course, I was memeing, the closest we've come to NTCL is tcl4dm, a github repository me and MSO have which has a readme file in it and is about 2-3 years old with no code in it.
Gosh, making me have to defend something instead of memeing, you're fickle.

well that's unfortunate

[tacolizard]

as far as i can tell from looking at radio code, it's actually supposed to show jobnames. So it's a bug I guess

Can we just approach this from a common sense perspective?

How the fuck are t-comms going to read your card, it would only feasably happen 1 way and that is through suit sensors (since its held on the jumpsuit) and it gives more inclination to simply turn your sensors off and go awol if you didn't want to be found, or really screw up and reveal your department if it was declared over a traitor head-kit communications without being careful.

Secondly why is this needed? Crossreferencing & faking voices is a legitimate part of the game about paranoia, as the people or persons you are speaking to could be dead and every time you utter a word there's a IC association that the computer will insert your job title it or you're dumb enough to actually state who you are. People can just tell you who they want you to believe they are when asked, this feature is antisocial and kind of lazy when you can just flick up and see everyone on your PDA/records.

Too hugboxxy, id like to know more of the background reasons you think this is a good idea.

[Steelpoint]

Because I think it would give a further sense of authority if at least the Heads of Staff can display their exact title on comms, even with 'loud speak' it does not tell you exactly whom is talking.

[FantasticFwoosh]

Sorry if my prior post was a bit over the top, this thread was like a red flag to a bull.

Yes but usually heads are the easiest people to find on the PDA screen & records because there's usually only one entry of them & they have unique sechud ID symbols, im not sure anybody speaking on the command channel that is only meant to be restricted to a select 5 persons on the station really needs to scream their title at every oppotunity, and surely HOP's are going to offer title name changes just so heads can show off their flashy titles everytime they speak.

Why not have it display the name of the job you were given at the start of the round, then?
