Minor Suggestions

Bottom post of the previous page:

The day balloons become a dangerous weapon is the day people start arresting those with balloons.

You mean Security doesn't already arrest you for having a Syndie balloon?

[DemonFiren]

Syndie-Cans: A container that can be set to mimic a soft drink can, capable of holding one small or two tiny items (item count pulled out of my ass), and can be locked with a three-number PIN.

PLEASE remove the sparks from the RPD switching.

It makes no sense, is inconsistent with the RCD and burns atmos techs alive when they actually try to fix shit in hazardous environments.

[Cik]

how am i going to start plasma fires then

also why did coderbus remove the ability to light plasma fire with a lit welder anyway was that intentional

[Malkevin]

Sounds like a bug

How is it inconsistent with the RCD?

[DemonFiren]

RCD only sparks when constructing, not when switching.

I guess I've been having a persistant hallucination for the last two years then. The RCD occasionally sparks when you cycle through the modes, especially noticable when you do it fast

LIES!!

Code: Select all

/obj/item/weapon/rcd/attack_self(mob/user)

	if(prob(20))
		src.spark_system.start()
	return

Code: Select all

spark_system.start()

bby

and looking at it, your entire sentence is backwards, it ONLY sparks when switching, not when constructing.

[Gun Hog]

I like it, because it starts GLORIOUS FIRE if you try it in a plasma leak.

[Malkevin]

Yep, thats why RCD were the go-to tool of choice at clearing plasma leaks (decon the floor) and hilarious when they went wrong.

[DemonFiren]

Meh, I was thinking of BayCDs, then.

[Thundercoot]

Add salt and black pepper shakers to food supply crates.

A floor/wall painter to accompany the Airlock painter. It's a minor thing really but it would go a long way to being able to beautifying your autism forts and make it so when you repair a shuttle, it doesn't have this buttfuck-ugly steel-grey wall in a sea of perfect white, or when you're mending the vault/AI-related floors, the ones with that blue/green glow.

Plus the Clown gets another weapon in his arsenal to drive OCD crew-members to the depths of insanity.

[Malkevin]

Wall/floor paint exists.

Its terrible and ugly though so it got removed quickly.

[AnonymousNow]

The Mysterious Medibot, a medical robot made using a Syndicate healthkit that acts differently to regular medibots - it heals a target using specific chemicals based on their damage types, thus bringing them back up to speed much faster, even if they're damaged across the board.

Still exists if you know where to get it (xenobiology)

[Cavoglave]

Gas pumps (and perhaps other binary devices) ought to be reversible. That is, their direction could simply be toggled from north to south OR east to west with a UI button.
It would allow, as an example, the air tanks scattered throughout maintenance to be used as "air capacitors" without having to unwrench and flip manually, or send a borg as an AI.

[DemonFiren]

>air capacitor

I think it's called "storage tank".

[Screemonster]

Add craftable tables from cardboard sheets, resembling a stack of boxes. Flipping, climbing on or tabling someone on them should destroy them and scatter boxes everywhere.

Your authority is not recognised in FORT KICKASS

Flooding the plasma tank with the contents of distro. It's the perfect crime.

[Marflow]

It'd be neat if external airlocks and their vicinity had bars that people can use to move in/out without being constantly bumprobed by spacewind. You know, like actual space stations have bars on the walls so they can move about.

[Miauw]

You should be able to rename the agent ID card, and use a voice changer like the changeling's power (by typing in the name).

literally how voice changers work right now.

[Deitus]

can we please make it so we can examine doors to see if they are shocked or not?

[whodaloo]

if you throw a body at a door it will spark
you might be able to throw objects at a door, too? not sure about that one

[Deitus]

the latter might be a nice alternative, bodies might not be around unless you're in a very public place

[Gamarr]

The Riot and Combat shotgun could use the same seclite attachment option that the tasers and e-guns have.

[Anonmare]

Tacticool weapon attachments when?

[Cheimon]

Shove a box of shotgun slugs in the armoury, so you can change the loadout of them if you want to without having to run down to cargo.

Also, put the beanbag slugs in the armoury simple locker in a box too, for tidiness.

Make it so that if you fold a syndie cardboard box, it'll be 'syndie cardboard' and turn back into a syndie box if you fold it up again, at the moment you can fold and unfold a box to disguise it which is...silly.

[ThanatosRa]

A trash picking stick.

[Malkevin]

If its a robust stabbing tool, then hell yeah

[TheNightingale]

Make it so that if you fold a syndie cardboard box, it'll be 'syndie cardboard' and turn back into a syndie box if you fold it up again, at the moment you can fold and unfold a box to disguise it which is...silly.

And so you can disguise yourself as a syndieborg.

[DemonFiren]

Gather enough syndie cardboard and you ought to be able to make a cardboard nuke.

[Takeguru]

Make it have a 1-1-1 detonation if you enter the nuke code on it.

AND play the sound effects for a nuke going off to the server.

It'll cut to the cutscene, and it'll just be a small pop, like one of the poppers you can get out of the arcade machines

[DemonFiren]

Set the paper nuke code to 000000, for easy deployment and an only moderately obscure historical reference.

And make cargo's syndicrates as well as bundles contain syndieboxes instead of regular ones.

[callanrockslol]

The cutscene breaks stuff for some reason occasionally.

Trigger this cutscene conditionally during new-cops when the escape shuttle leaves, the is not on board of the escape shuttle and there is at least 1 op alive (or some other similar set of conditions if you understood my concept, maybe only if the shuttle manages to escape if the nuke is armed, ala 3 head IDs on shuttle console to rush the escape).

Has great music, is great graphics and is a homage to an awesome game most of us here should be familiar with.

The video might need some edition. The Sa-Matra coupled with the Vindicator should be altered into the station... Or just leave it as-is if you can't be hassled.

What do you think?

neat imo but considering the normal cutscene breaks shit i doubt it'd be implemented. not to mention possible (if unlikely) copyright issues

[Zero Ziat]

I know cutscenes break shit but that's something to be addressed on it's own. Also since it's a round-end thing I doubt it'd matter much by that point.

I think the UQM license holders are dead/gone/don't care/will never find out, so I never really thought about what it could do copyright-wise. I do think if it becomes a nuisance some sort of credit should be posted if necessary. I'm not trying to appeal to plagiarism with this, in fact, I had a homage in mind if anything.

[Cik]

you should be able to jump on grenades

people always complain about flashbangs, what if you could jump on them which would nullify the flash and bang but would hurt and stun whoever hopped on it?

[Reimoo]

Can we get a proper gun rack?

The things in the armory are really ugly.

[ThanatosRa]

Did anyone ever finally do a hawaiian shirt, shorts ballcap combo for the detective?

[AnonymousNow]

Why don't we make non-slip shoes into chameleon shoes, as well? It'd remove the brownshoe meta.

[One Seven One]

The Riot and Combat shotgun could use the same seclite attachment option that the tasers and e-guns have.

What about attaching them to heavier armor like riot armor?

you can color no-slips with gayons, the more you know

[TheNightingale]

Attaching Seclites to armour? That could be interesting. Shine like the July sun.

[Anonmare]

There's no black or white crayon (Except the Mime's) and most jobs usually either have black shoes, white shoes or non-standard shoes like jackboots/workshoes. No-Slips really do stick out a lot

[Actionb]

Give AI the ability to ping drones to a location. Pretty much the alert system the drones already have, just for the AI.

Rainbow crayon. (not sure if it does, but it should)
