Lights making sparks
What are your thoughts?
I've decided i'm not a fan. I think they spark too often, and we should remove them.
Or increase the amount of time between sparks by a lot.

Re: Lights making sparks
While it doesn't bother me immensely, I think it would make for better atmosphere if broken lights sparked more infrequently.

For AI it's constant sparking noises 24/7. I complained about it over radio channel, and admins put a Mi-Go in my core for memes.

Re: Lights making sparks
The only time I dislike it is when I'm AI and one of the lights on the satellite starts broken. It's annoying since it's the only thing you hear for like 99% of the round, and also because it makes the same sound effect as teleporting (which is your first alert that someone is on the sat). If the AI sat lights couldn't spawn broken, it would be better.

Re: Lights making sparks
Maybe just remove the sound effect for broken flickers
I like the mild danger it brings to released plasma.

I code for the code project and moderate the code sections of the forums.

Re: Lights making sparks
Perhaps, but coordinating getting a janitor into a suit and onto my satellite to replace a bulb can be rather time-consuming. If I don't have a janitor borg, it's usually easier to just have an engineer borg come by and beat the light with a wrench until it stops sparking.confused rock wrote:It'd also be better if you got the lights repaired

You can just disable the lighting from the APC to stop the sparks.zxaber wrote:Perhaps, but coordinating getting a janitor into a suit and onto my satellite to replace a bulb can be rather time-consuming.

Re: Lights making sparks
And then when someone does sneak in you can't see them for shit and have trouble clicking on anything defensive like turret controls or the flasher.
I'm in favor of removing the sound from sparking lights, esp when NT's shitty lights spark constantly for some reason. As AI any sound effect usually means trouble and this fucks with me. i bothered plz remov.

Re: Lights making sparks
You could just enable camera lights if someone is on the sat. Anonmare is right, the light circuit pretty much fixes my issues with it.
