Antag Yes/No Presets
The rough idea:
Allow saving some number of cross-round presets for which antags you have on or off, kind of like job priorities??? Except not. Just a quick list of what's yes or what's no for you, and you can use those presets you made instead of having to toggle by hand.
But why:
This allows you to quickly turn on and off antags your own choosing based on your moods. I, for example, sometimes am not in the mood for running a conversion antag (cult, rev) or a stationside antag (i.e. not wizard or operative). Sometimes I may not be in the mood for any antag rolling. This would allow me to more easily defer these roles to someone who will use them better.
And changing these during lobby is slow as balls because you have to click every single one individually.

10000% times this
Antag is an emotional roller coaster I am rarely ever ready for when I just want to play a quick round as a doctor and heal people. Having to constantly turn everything on and off depending on how I feel is just exhausting. A Yes/No button right under Ready/Unready would be perfect
Yes I've tried to code it before but preference code is a nightmare that I didnt want to contribute to

Re: Antag Yes/No Presets
I think Skyrat has a "Be antag" thing on their main menu to do this, pretty neat.A Yes/No button right under Ready/Unready would be perfect
A "disable all" button is already planned for when new preferences menu reaches parity, by the way, but I think the "be antag" button is better.

Re: Antag Yes/No Presets
I would love being able to leave, for the obvious example, nuke ops and wizard always on, but a general toggle is definitely a good start.

Re: Antag Yes/No Presets
What about a button that you can toggle that prioritizes job selection over antag status?
I ran into a few incidents where I wanted to be a job like cyborg or clown but clown was taken and cyborg isnt able to be a traitor round start so it forced me to be something entirely random that I didnt even have enabled.

Re: Antag Yes/No Presets
An "Oh shit I didn't mean it" button to immediately cast your antag status away to someone else with that antag's settings on, that only works in the first like 60 seconds after becoming antag, could also be cool
(No luck for group antags though maybe)

Re: Antag Yes/No Presets
somewhat in the same vein, I wish I could select jobs that wouldn't be antag for me if I got them
but I imagine that'd be significantly more difficult and a mess of a GUI.
Back when I had tator on, I didn't want to get it on something like botanist if I felt like playing that for whatever reason, but MD traitor is one of my more enjoyed positions
then again you can always ahelp to get it removed I suppose

In that case, the "j/k please no antag" button works better than the quick prefs, I suppose, since assigning unique antag prefs to every job would be... a lot.
