Re: Night Vision Mesons v2
Paprika's change was bad and went in the opposite direction of what I believe most players would be interested in seeing (as was evident by essentially going in the opposite of what the original OP was suggesting).
Now HG tells me that Paprika has a PR increasing the illumination for miner borgs. Perhaps this fixes the needless change they made previously?

Re: Night Vision Mesons v2
The nuanced difference is that everyone can see the minerborg glowing like the sun, but only the minerborg can see when it has "nightvision".

Re: Night Vision Mesons v2
If the minerborg now actually shines like the sun then I think most of our complaints can be retracted, I'm glad input was listened to.
However, I still also think Night Vision Mesons should be added as a research item.

Re: Night Vision Mesons v2
I don't understand why minerborgs were changed and would like somebody to explain it to me.

Re: Night Vision Mesons v2
The issue is that night vision is very strong in ss13, you are basically invisible in the dark and you can see clearly. Other people in maint basically get tased from a distance by somebody they can't see and then executed. It's hardly fun for anyone other than the person with night vision.
As such it was made a decision to make night vision a more restricted item and that was removed from mesons, leaving it on the miner borg was an oversight and paprika was correct in removing it.
However, they didn't consider the knock on effect of that change on miner borgs and how that relates to the range of attack mobs. In their defense, they're only human.
Finally pretty much every persons reaction to the change was shit and paprika's responses were shit.

Re: Night Vision Mesons v2
Except minerborgs can't even do the action that is the "problem".
I could understand if secborgs had nightvision, how that would be a problem, but what is a minerborg going to do, walk up and flash you, and then drill while you are stunned? Oh wait, it can't, because flash doesn't stun anymore.

Re: Night Vision Mesons v2
I agree with night vision being strong.
As a frequent minerborg, without night vision I fear i'll die to mobs much more often.

The night vision doesn't affect seeing mobs at all wtf it only allowed you to see the tiles adjacent to you, a flashlight is more powerful for seeing mobs even

Re: Night Vision Mesons v2
It's not your fault dude don't worry about it, these things are going to happen no matter who makes a thread because that's just the way things are right now.

Was this already amended, or is the wiki out of date?

Re: Night Vision Mesons v2
Wiki is severely out of date, yeah. We don't have wiki maintainers and it's not a requirement for coding.
The fact that it took you this long to notice it means that the wiki is pretty irrelevant towards things like that and people only use it for gamemode info/recipes.

Re: Night Vision Mesons v2
Reposting my proposal since the original thread is gone.Hornygranny wrote:I'm sure someone will do it when the freeze is over.
The requirements for night-vision equipment are as follows:
Standard NVG - Electromagnetic Spectrum 4, requires uranium.
NVG Medical HUD- Electromagnetic Spectrum 5, Biological Technology 4. Requires uranium and silver.
NVG Security HUD- Electromagnetic Spectrum 5, Combat Technology 4. Requires uranium and gold (swag).
Keeping in line with this, NVG Mesons would require:
Electromagnetic Spectrum 5, Engineering 4. Requires uranium like the others.
Since mesons require plasma, I would of course make this a requirement.
In addition, a bit of diamond would be required as well, because miners love shiny things.
NVG Mesons are not the same thing as X-ray vision. You will only see mobs and objects that in your view range. You will not see them through walls or obstacles, this is true only for turfs.

Re: Night Vision Mesons v2
If you could do that gun_hog I'd be all for it, you could just re-use the "advanced mesons" sprite that borgs use and is leftover from ergo mesons. Also make them animated of course!

Re: Night Vision Mesons v2
could we have the nightvision mesons for mining come with auto detect mining scanner, but would take some good research and be for miners and researchable for borgs.

Re: Night Vision Mesons v2
Why? The autoscanner is pretty cheap, and you can get it with a voucher as well. Do mining borgies not already have an autoscanner, as well?flazeo25 wrote:could we have the nightvision mesons for mining come with auto detect mining scanner, but would take some good research and be for miners and researchable for borgs.
