Borg wires are consistent within a round but not round to round.

Things you can click to become a ghost on lavaland appear in the Orbit list.

Exactly, it pulls name and player from the body, and at that moment the name is Wizard and the player is Shitballs.

Two questions.

Firstly, what can cause a APC to blow up in your face? I encountered this during a round where I was placing a new Power Cell into a APC only for the APC to explode and take my leg with it.

Secondly, does the SM explosion leave behind any hidden radioation? In that same round I ended up dying to something in telecomms well after the SM blew up.

That power cell may have been injected with plasma.

The power cell was left on the floor after tcomms blew up, maybe someone injected it with plasma but it was in open space.

I was the only person in comms when I died to whatever it was, I was dragged to medbay by a borg after I died.

I simply fell down to the ground and was in crit, I had no warning or messages, not even a your unconscious.

I think (vaguely remember something similar which might be correct) that cells can be damaged by explosions, which compromises them like a plasma injection?

Boy do I love hidden features with no reference to them.

If a power cell is damaged from a explosion there should be a visual tell that its damage and a way to repair it.

I don't mind plasma sabotage, but dying because you did not know of a obscure feature with no warning is shitty.

Besides the point that its a trap, applied onto the plasma batteries and anything else it touches.

Yeah I'm talking about this chance where power cells exposed to damage from explosions will blow up when used.

I'm perfectly fine with sabotage being undetectable or at least being really hard to notice unless you're aware of it prior.

I don't remember if there is anything you can examine on a battery to find out either. Players don't tend to examine things anyway. But besides that, yeah I feel you but that's pretty much the game entirely and the response is always GITGUD no matter how frustrating and one off the adversity was. Technically clone damage falls under this but it's only because it has frequent exposure or at least a practiced solution (cryo) that it isn't a real problem. The battery thing just never comes up (and we don't even know if you died because of it or malicious intent) and that either makes it an interesting feature or a frustration causing crap one.

Code: Select all

/obj/item/weapon/stock_parts/cell/examine(mob/user)
	..()
	if(rigged)
		to_chat(user, "<span class='danger'>This power cell seems to be faulty!</span>")
	else
		to_chat(user, "The charge meter reads [round(src.percent() )]%.")

Code: Select all

/obj/item/weapon/stock_parts/cell/proc/corrupt()
	charge /= 2
	maxcharge = max(maxcharge/2, chargerate)
	if (prob(10))
		rigged = 1 //broken batterys are dangerous

Code: Select all

/obj/item/weapon/stock_parts/cell/ex_act(severity, target)
	..()
	if(!QDELETED(src))
		switch(severity)
			if(2)
				if(prob(50))
					corrupt()
			if(3)
				if(prob(25))
					corrupt()
I'll say no more.

use each intent in order on your victim.
For example, if you have plasma fist:
HARM, DISARM, DISARM, DISARM, HARM on the same person will gib them instantly.

What's everyone's favourite SM gas mixes?

I personally use 66% N2O and 33% O2 as I've found it a good compromise between power and stability. I know there are more power efficient mixes though, there was one guy who made this complicated mix but I don't remember what the percentages were but it had CO2, plasma, O2 and N2O and he got some really incredible power outage with full room temp plasma tanks.

It's not related to electrodes, it's all click-related actions. The default game FPS is 20 and input (afaik) is tied to client side FPS. This would mean that holding down a movement key is 'using frames' and blocking the click action so you are only firing when your click is timed on a frame that isn't being 'used'.

tl;dr it's because of the game's low framerate. If you go into game preferences and increase the framerate to like 40, 60 or 100 it will register your clicks much better. The trade off is that higher FPS's are kinda janky.

anything that uses electrodes seem to stutter.
It's not related to electrodes, it's all click-related actions. The default game FPS is 20 and input (afaik) is tied to client side FPS. This would mean that holding down a movement key is 'using frames' and blocking the click action so you are only firing when your click is timed on a frame that isn't being 'used'.

tl;dr it's because of the game's low framerate. If you go into game preferences and increase the framerate to like 40, 60 or 100 it will register your clicks much better. The trade off is that higher FPS's are kinda janky.
Clicks aren't dropped for moving, clicks are only dropped if you manage to do them between frames.
This is why higher framerate games feel more fluid and responsive, there's far less chance for them to miss your input.

Regardless, upping your client fps should help, yes.

What actually is "tabling" and how would one "table" another?
