Utter lack of AI
Man, it feels great. No more captain robocoping/valadining it to hunt antags, no more validhunting silicons tipping off security to everything, no more "AI OPEN!!!!111" every fucking second in the radio.

Hey, is it permament, "test" ("We will remove it if no one likes it" like goofchem) or test?

Seriously, anti-AI circlejerk is by far the most retarded shit I have ever seen in this community. I'm a sec player who gets pissed off by the AI frequently but I think removing it entirely is beyond retarded.

Congrats on ruining the game. I hope you're happy.

Re: Utter lack of AI
Yes, I think it will improve the game, so I am running a scientific test.
After which I will take feedback and look to make changes or adjust the AI.

Re: Utter lack of AI
Myself and several other people have vehemently disagreed with you on this point. The AI is something that makes Space Station 13 what it is. Removing it is akin to cutting out the heart. You are trying to solve problems that don't exist with solutions that are the equivalent of dropping a nuke on an anthill.oranges wrote:Yes, I think it will improve the game, so I am running a scientific test.

If you'd prefer next time I will just remove the AI outright, without any warning.
If you think the AI is too powerful, buff antagonists with more ways to circumvent the AI. Security cameras have been nerfed to the point where they're basically useless, the follow link lag is a significant nerf that's made it incredibly difficult to respond to incidents in a timely manner. If you're tired of captains Robocopping the AI at roundstart, ahelp it. I've done that myself on multiple occasions.
Kneejerk reactions to remove significant parts of the game are not and have never been acceptable.

There is no kneejerk reaction, you need to slow your roll man.

What the actual shit is everyone so ass pulverized over? Calm the fucking shit down. I don't really think removing the Ai is the answer either but if you really believe the Ai is a good addition to the game then what the fuck do you have to worry about? The test will end and it will be added back. Are you just horrified that people might actually think it is fun?

Re: Utter lack of AI
I'm trying to keep this conversation civil and I'd appreciate a similar level of decorum from anyone else who would like to give their input.
The manner in which this change was strong-armed into effect is outside the scope of this discussion, my apologies. But don't you dare dismiss my words as hyperbole.
Here's what the next week of Space Station 13 will look like:
Your policy thread on the removal has been active for less than a week and the poll is (currently) favoring removal by four votes. This isn't a debate about what does and does not constitute a kneejerk reaction, but this decision that affects a core component of the game was made entirely too hastily.oranges wrote:There is no kneejerk reaction, you need to slow your roll man.

Here's what the next week of Space Station 13 will look like:
- The singularity and/or Tesla will break containment far more often
- Murderous antags will rampage freely after disabling the communication consoles
- Hull breaches, especially those caused by space dust will go unnoticed for several incredibly crucial minutes
- Whole sections of the station will lose power as mice chew through wires without notice
- Greytide will double now that assistants can't law two their way into EVA or tech storage
- Security will be able to freely execute their prisoners with impunity
- Follow links had an artificial lag added
- Cameras have become much easier to disable
- The Box AI sat is much easier to breach (but I'm not sure if that's intentional)
- The Advanced Hacking Tool
- Goof's Chameleon Kit

All this talk of 'hurr assblasted minority forcing a change' is hugely ironic considering how assblasted some of THOSE people are sounding over a temporary change of a single server config option.

So the way it's currently working is that the heads of staff all have a device that lets them operate doors like an AI. The problem with this is that they don't have lawsets that keep them from bolting people like the mime into a room with no way out, which is exactly what happened to me.

If there is ACTUALLY no way to get out/call for help (ie: locked in a windowless room with no headset/unconscious due to n2o etc, then you can ahelp that assuming it was a non anag that did it.

Re: Utter lack of AI
You CAN PDA people, but you don't know if you're PDAing people who either can't get to you, don't care about you, or will have their PDA messenger off due to round events. It's really not TOO serious an issue, since admins can always help the player out if they've been locked up for too long, but still a problem.
Gateway access really should be more common. Also aren't the walls around it regular walls, or are they rwalls?

HoPs never give anybody high security access ever, hacking works but you need most of the time need gloves, and definitely need game knowledge, which isn't something everyone has, and RCDs are from cargo so you need access for that.

I think this is a good opportunity to see how the game goes without a round start AI.
This is the point of tests, so we can accurately see the effects of a change over a week or so. Shouting expletives just makes you look like a cry baby.

Re: Utter lack of AI
It's great in certain modes. Basically on a scale of WEAK ANTAGS ----> STRONG ANTAGS, the weakest play a lot better without an AI while the strongest tend to run rampant without an AI to track/contain/destroy them.
I'd really like to see lings in rotation without an AI to fuck with them (well not pure lings since nobody actually got that mode working but traitorlings at least).
While I think killing the AI outright is not feasible, here are some common sense suggestions to bring the AI back to sanity:
1) When the AI attempts to bolt a door, that door will now flash emergency lights for 5-10 seconds before the door is actually bolted
2) Remove AI access to dept. radio (possibly even remove borg radio upgrades, at least at roundstart, asimov secborgs should be a harm prevention tool ready to respond to immediate requests for help on common radio, not a super officer thats too busy lurking on sec radio validhunts to stop the bar fight going on).
3) More natural camera blindspots, whoever decided that every square-inch of the station not in maint. (and even some of maint.) needs 100% camera coverage can eat a dick. Especially the bullshit Xray cameras.
4) Get rid of the spergy AI sat designs (this new one is worse in every sense, if you're a powergaming turbohitler its even easier to kill than before whereas if youre a normie then you have to clear a gauntlet of like 10 fucking turrets across three rooms).
5) Taking a photo of a room and placing it on the camera will give the AI a static image of that room. Astute AI's will notice if certain things aren't moving/responding and can fix it but it won't do the obvious static that gets security called to that room 9/10 times.
6) Implement my doorjack device. Its basically a one-touch bolt/unbolt device that also disables all AI control to a door and unshocks it (if shocked).
7) Add a delay to all radio-based tracking, like 10 seconds or so, so that you can still zip to locations if someone is smart enough to shout where they need help. Will assist in ending the era of being able to shout "HELP!" on radio and still getting instant AI backup that bolts all escape routes for your attacker and gives sec your location/status.

Yeah I'm finding that most antags are pretty well balanced with AI and are very powerful without. If we go through with this long term we are going to need to reconcile it with pretty much everything in the game.

I love these ideas so much.

6) Implement my doorjack device. Its basically a one-touch bolt/unbolt device that also disables all AI control to a door and unshocks it (if shocked).
There's already a delay and I think it's long enoughOldman Robustin wrote: 7) Add a delay to all radio-based tracking, like 10 seconds or so, so that you can still zip to locations if someone is smart enough to shout where they need help. Will assist in ending the era of being able to shout "HELP!" on radio and still getting instant AI backup that bolts all escape routes for your attacker and gives sec your location/status.

Re: Utter lack of AI
AI player here - I have to disagree with you there Atlanta on the last point. In my opinion the current follow "delay" isn't a delay at all. 3 seconds is not enough. Personally I would just rather get rid of the follow links all together. Ais can still track quickly by using the track with camera option.
On ai dept radio as I said before I really think we should just go back to 3 intercoms and if you want to have dept channels you have to set your intercom up yourself. It's not difficult to click on telecom servers to see which dept had what freq.
With how simple it is to disable cameras I feel like the picture idea should be more simple too, I'd go as far as to suggest even just simply putting some cable on a photo and hitting it on the camera should make it display a blank room.
I think X-ray cameras should only exist as an upgrade people can attach to cameras themselves(aka never because whose gonna do that for the ai?) I don't think they should be default on any map... Are they even any on any map round start?
Motion cameras should stay though. Even better I would suggest that as long as you are walking motion cameras will not activate.

You know, I'd completely forgotten about that option. Losing the follow links is actually not the worst idea.TheWiznard wrote:Ais can still track quickly by using the track with camera option.

Re: Utter lack of AI
Semi-frequent AI player here with a couple of points:
1. The "utter lack" of AI is due to a config, it would be simple enough to just disable roundstart AI.
2. Borgs are not disabled, so this really takes a stressful role and makes it even more stressful as now a handful of borgs with limited scope have to do the work of an entire AI. I don't know why anyone plays borg with this up tbh
3. I am generally against simplifying/removing aspects of the game and its conflict. AI is one of those aspects.
