[POLL] Porting NT Drones
The poll is pretty straight forward. I'm abstaining from the vote for now to allow it to progress naturally.
Those voting "with modifications" should use this thread to explain the what and whys.

Re: Porting NT Drones
No they shouldn't be ported the code is terrible and whoever wrote it is a stupid bitch.
oh wait.
Nah yeah, port away, It probably does need some tweaking though, the version on NT is my 'finished off' version of what Pete tried but didn't finish.

Re: Porting NT Drones
From what I understand (and how most servers with drones handle it) they are basically assistants with an AI connection that have tools. Their job is to maintain the station but everyone knows their real job is to build wood floors everywhere and :B everything instead of :d everything.
But really though, they have the basic engineering set and are supposed to help make sure that just because an engineer fucked off and a bomb happened, we don't evacuate immediately. Which.. is actually a good thing to stop. We've been discussing how to fix this problem in a few threads, and drones who are supposed to fix it could help a lot. Of course, this is Sybil and as we all know Sybil cannot have fun things without ruining them.
IT also adds a new engineering room that generates these drones. If you are:
a. Dead
b. The Drone Fab is still up
You can respawn as a drone.

Re: Porting NT Drones
Our drones are different. They have no tools or item slots, only "hands". They are built by the Roboticist, ghosts simply click on one of the shells to enter it. A ghost can respawn as one as many times as it likes so long as there are shells remaining. They cannot operate the fabricator, so they will only exist if R&D has provided research and they are printed off by the Roboticist or greater silicons.MedicInDisquise wrote:From what I understand (and how most servers with drones handle it) they are basically assistants with an AI connection that have tools.

The modifications I propose are NIGHT VISION added to their meson + material vision (x-ray vision without mobs). They spent most of their time in maintenance, so they need to carry flashlights everywhere to see anything. In addition to that, a basic toolset (the tools you find in the syndicate toolbox) is needed since they mostly do repairs.

Re: Porting NT Drones
Basically, the drones are little builder things with laws not to interfere with living people in the round in any way (including an esword marauder, NO YOU CAN'T HELP THE DEAD PEOPLE DRONE) that repair the station/make autism forts. They're kinda nice, and really after the initial burst of 'NEW THING GIMME' they weren't even seen that much, so the drones weren't really an obstructive force on the round.

Re: Porting NT Drones
I only really messed with them once directly on Artyom when Sybil was down, but in a word, yes.Reimoo wrote:What would be the difference? Are they not the same thing?
All drones have laws that are nearly identical to the mommi lawset. The difference is mommis have onboard tools and drones have hands. The upshot is, drones can operate consoles, place and replace power cells in APCs, etc. I remember the next we built that round included an autolathe and protolathe.
One little feature that I thought was really cool is that they don't obstruct squares they pass through. You can run right through somebody and you don't even get the help-intent shuffle.
I also do appreciate the design where the drones are only even a thing if RnD/robotics wills them to be. You can control their population as a human on the station and gives the roboticist something else to do after they're done braining the station and auging each other.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with adding people back into the round after they've been moidered so they can stop ahelping admins a thousand times over someone murdering them when it was a changeling/traitor/nukeops/chefwhodidn'tknow or all of those in one.
More or less, they rebuild the station. They do the most tedious of things ever to keep everything working and they don't fuck with anyone whatsoever. They're not even supposed to fuck with blob or AI or anything.

No and they really, really shouldn't be able to be emagged.
As a whole, drones can turn into a destructive force capable of removing the entire station from existence if enough exist.
Separately, drones are a non-entity with a capacity to do anything and get away completely unscathed.
And on Sybil, there would just likely be TOO MANY of them...

I like the idea of them coming out in force whenever there's a lot of deaths (because usually that means there's a lot of station damage, which justifies why there's suddenly so many drones around).

Why shouldn't they be able to be emagged? Each drone can undo other emagged drones' work, and if you manage to emag an army of drones you deserve to have your sustained destruction. Plus, if what was said upthread is true there aren't even that many of them.

Re: Porting NT Drones
Drones certainly aren't indestructable. They can't even speak (in their current mode.) Even then, I'm not seeing how a drone armed with a toolbox or even 40 drones with toolboxes would be able to "remove the entire station." As bogo said, if I manged to emag 40 of the suckers, I've already earned a payoff.Raven776 wrote:No and they really, really shouldn't be able to be emagged.

Re: Porting NT Drones
The problem is that emagging a single one would be too easy, and then you've got a drone that could very easily get an RCD or even a bomb. They can use consoles and nothing is actually stopping them from doing toxins other than their laws.
And it would also make people abusing their drone status nearly impossible to pinpoint or punish. There are some people who simply don't understand the laws as written and will clown around as drones or pull bodies, and if the possibility that they're emagged comes up, you can never know when these drones are just being stupid or not.
If you'd introduce something as lulzy easy and powerful as emagging a drone, you'd have to find something just as easy to fix the emagged drones (who can ventcrawl) like a console that can blow specific drones and/or test their integrity.
With that said, it would be hilarious throwing the little drones at people and watching them get moidered by the tiny metal hands.

/tg/ has to consider the Base Drones from NT, and now the 3(ish) features added for the new /tg/ version, so I'd rather not delay the PR anymore.
It IS planned though, so far as I have the code in my head already, just using the human hats and lowering them down a few pixels so they fit on drones instead.

Well, While drones can't wear hats themselves (yet, it's planned) this would be possible, and I don't see why not.

Also something new. For all the old Drone players who had the misfortune to be picked up, you can now move while in an item form to jump out and uncurl from a ball and run away.
So basically you're now only a hat if you want to be a hat. You can still talk worn too.

Drones are like beepsky in that you need to click ON THEM to fire AT THEM. They can ventcrawl like monkeys, and while they can't use guns they can slip and presumably do something to damage people while in drone form if you let them get emagged.
If you're lucky enough to get the ion rifle, you're fine, but if you're up against 5 emagged drones and you don't know which five are the emagged ones compared to safe ones, you're screwed.

And in that note, the confusion would be more likely to happen when the drone was doing stupid clownish shit like slipping people or stealing people's stuff. You go from a nice normal shift to suddenly it's the drone apocalypse (not really) because this drone isn't ignoring your existence. Making numerous more IC channels to flow through would make punishing any offenders nearly impossible. And if there is a chance that the drone who just polyacid sprayed you is rogue instead of just the angry antag who you dunked come back for revenge, it'll be difficult to make an ahelp right away to unfuck your round if possible.
And the difference between this and borgs is that drones are near infinite and impossible to identify. If you think people can be a shitler, watch how much of a shitler they can be with two hands and ventcrawling.
Besides that I just think an emagged drone would be too powerful for the risk inherent in finding and emagging one in the first place (None).

Re: Porting NT Drones
I like the idea of drones just being a background happening that the crew don't have to think twice about. The drones have the law to not interact with the crew and just upkeep the station, the moment drones are possibly emagged is when suddenly being in a room alone with one is potentially dangerous.
I like the idea drones scurrying around and being completely ignored (unless someone wants a stylish hat that is).

Re: Porting NT Drones
Drones now have a "pull" button when you're pulling something.
If people remember it from NTstation it didn't have a pull button so you had to use hotkeys to stop pulling something, well now you have the option to click a button, because some people still use those instead of hotkeys.
Also.. they can no longer use robot talk-- What was that? No, I didn't say anything, carry on.

Re: Porting NT Drones
The AI should still have someway to directly talk to them. To direct them towards hull damage etc. Seems a bit ridiculous that an AI wouldnt have "control" over a swarm of repair drones.JJRcop wrote:Drones now have a "pull" button when you're pulling something.

Re: Porting NT Drones
Pretty much any player controlled mob should have pull since I don't think we have any mob that CAN'T pull. Well maybe not the AI or blob.

Re: Porting NT Drones
Drones could already pull, you just needed to use the "Stop-pulling" verb or press Delete to stop pulling, I just added a stop pulling button that the other mobs have.Incomptinence wrote:Pretty much any player controlled mob should have pull since I don't think we have any mob that CAN'T pull.

Possibly an update but it's up to RR
- Made drones vulnerable to EMP.
- When they are EMP'ed they can't move for a little while, there is no damage taken.
- Made drones able to hear binary chat, but they cannot speak in it.

(Also in order to make it work I had to allow drones to be stunned in the first place, so if you ever think about attacking beepsky scot-free think again.)

Re: Porting NT Drones
Yeah meant stop pulling button. Also great as an indicator of when you ARE pulling.
