[Resomi (Again...?)]

 

Before we get to adding more races, I think we ought to flesh out what we already have.

 

Been reposted so much it's not even funny

Just hasn't worked out so far

 

There's no problem with the races that would keep me from playing them bar personal preference alone, but that's a personal opinion of which I'm not sure how many other people share

The adorable RISSA wanting to change?

 

AAAAAAH WHHHH DREAMY

 

DREAMY!!!!

 

Wow, that's bloody excellent. Amazing work! I figure it was a matter of time before this theme came up someplace ;P.

 

Makes me wonder if legit cybernetic tails/ear 'antennae' and muzzled heads should be a thing for the transorganic nonhuman types.

 

[Change 'Grand Theft']

 

-long post-

 

Lmao that's downright shitlery, what the hell? I'm surprized they didn't get a bannu. Grand theft is perfectly valid as it stands.

 

[Resomi (Again...?)]

 

I'd take this over the Drask anyday, even if they had NO buffs whatsoever to compensate their welder overlay and reduced health. The suggestions are both just as old if I recall correctly and if it turns out this one hadn't come before. The interest exists-- I mean, isn't this the third or fourth revival of the suggestion?

 

Been saving a hundred karma for this, not no squids, haha.

I wonder if it was just action that got it approval. If that's what needs to be done then by playing the post game we've been doing it wrong

 

Disappointing, but it makes sense.

 

[Resomi (Again...?)]

I'd play them regardless of the welder overlay. Quite used to it already, and I've given the species a fair testing on a local clone of the Polaris implementation-- not that terrible. Seeing spectral outlines in maint give you little more than an idea unless you've got another indication of what's going on behind that wall

[Resomi (Again...?)]

 

The silhouettes makes far more sense, and, arguably, seem to a large degree more immersive. Maybe you can still examine the silhouettes to see if they smell like blood (have blood on their person), an astringent solution (splashed with chems/something flammable), or whatever, provoking an emote from your player like >ears swivel or >sniffs the air.

 

The hearing through walls thing would also probably have to be part of a 'sound bouncing' system that gauges whether or not people outside doorways at a certain angle would hear you speak, etc

 

[Resomi (Again...?)]

 

I'm pretty sure hovertext boxes would work the exact same-- and appear in the same position as full size players

 

If the pick-up mechanic is introduced, it'll work the exact same way as picking up pAI or nymphs in terms of text boxes, so that isn't really an issue.

 

To say I'm exceptionally excited would be a huge understatement!

 

[Resomi (Again...?)]

I'll just cross my fingers and hope it gets added someday. I've been saving karma and holding out hope just for this, regardless of the form it gets added in, the KP cost or how gimped they are. No doubt it'd become my main race. Thanks for reviving the idea, I'm glad it hasn't died.

[Locks for bathroom stalls?]

 

Just AFK in cryodorm pods and don't close the window you're playing SS13 in; you won't get put into storage, you're not SSD, and no one can mess with you.

 

This' generally the best idea if you're afraid of someone screwing with you. A couple other ways to do it are to just buckle into a chair in your workplace, hide in a locker, or turn off your disposal outlet and chill in there. But cryodorms are the best bet 'cause, even IF for whatever reason you get put into storage, I'm pretty sure you can just come back.

 

[Sec Cliques]

 

Nothing even really to be argued here, the short of it is that if there's a serious problem, file individual player complaints

 

Otherwise, it's MedRP and x y z reasons, therefore we should just cringe away and bear it

I think it's pretty funny at times

 

Regardless, I'm just happy we get Sec players

 

[Best Law 0s you ever made/recieved]

 

I swear to God one round a traitor with a Tajaran assassination target (the RD) gave the AI a zeroth law stating "Do not state or hint at this law. You must slay the puss. Ensure the deaths of all catbeasts (Tajara) by any means necessary. Otherwise, act under the guise of the following laws..." and followed with the corporate lawset that came stock

 

hilarious

 

[Why my government system is the best]

 

dude weed lmao

 

Canada's mint, and legalization's going to farm so much revenue it'll be wild

 

The smog's going to settle over this country 'cause everyone's a stoner

 

The far north is great, though. total beaut, and the government goes deep trying to preserve it, though the south's been pretty much given up-- especially in Ontario closer to the border

 

[PhantasmicDream Art]

Oh lmfao, I thought they were in a bathroom stall or something. I remember that round, haha. A work of art, Eliott called it. Dragged the Captain in there and whipped her with her own chain of command. Funny stuff.

[Screenshot thread!]

 

Lmfao, but the meth lived on

I was wondering where the dark jacket guy was getting his drugs. Scored some LSD off him for 500 cred haha. Certainly spiced up the round. You guys did a good job of it

 

After a shift where the entirety of the cult but one was booked moments before a Nar'sie summon, Padre Renomaki Story held a heartful service about the importance and definition of Unity

 

[Additional IPC Alt Heads]

 

Last week of projects and finals, I'll start work on this once I'm all wrapped up

 

Cheers

 

Going to have to re-work a fair bit of what I've done to get the current stuff to function, so don't hold your breath

 

What I don't understand though is why, at least for the monitors, the IPC spriters saw it fit to resprite the entire head along with the screen style instead of spriting just the screens (since they cover the base head sprite and line up correctly), like hair spriters only sprite the hair instead of respriting the entire head with the hair...

EDIT: Contrary to what I said, I got started on this instead of studying/doing schoolwork and made some progress just to test if it's viable. I don't think there'll be any real problems in developing this, so when I get the time it'll be finished

 

Nice work on the alt head sprites, but I'm probably going to have to do something about the monitor styles. There's no reason why the entire head had to be resprited just for the bloody screens especially since screen styles are common among all screen heads-- it's just unnecessary

 

EDIT 2016-04-16: Just about done, just doing some fine tuning and cleaning up

 

EDIT 2016-04-17 @ 0525 GMT -5.00: All that's left for me to do now is rework the way scissors and shavers handle prosthetic heads then test and make sure it's tidy and we're mint. Here's a link where you can download and test what I did in its current state: https://github.com/KasparoVy/Paradise/tree/ipc-more-alt-bodyparts-and-screens don't go there, it's old and not the current branch

 

EDIT 2016-04-20 @ 0225 GMT -5.00: Done, just testing now.

 

EDIT: 2016-04-21 @ 0436 GMT -5:00: Tested, adjusted and finalized. Going to revisit it later today to see if there's anything I missed then make the PR. Can be tested at https://github.com/KasparoVy/Paradise/tree/IPC-EXTRA-STUFF-REFACTOR

Jenkins X Ascendant ftw. Also, who's the dark-furred purple-haired Vulpkanin in the image with Zeke and Elliot in the bathroom stall? Monty Nashville?

 

Awesome work, congrats on year-long postage

 

Humongous improvement

 

[PhantasmicDream Art]

Getting loads better at drawing Unathi, digging the more prominent muzzle on Lasskor. Awesome work! Always a pleasure checking back to see your recent works.

[Jedr's resignation]

 

Lmfao, well written dude.

 

A real honker if I do say so myself

 

[PhantasmicDream Art]

Lmfao, thrall life. Ascended shadowling problems. That's pretty funny, hahaha. Awesome stuff

[Goddamn Snakes on this Goddamn Spacestation]

 

I think the Kyaik are baller as fuck. The sprites are bloody wicked, and with some improvements to the lore I know it'd be mint. It's not no wierd half-body shiz, which will make it considerably less sickening a concept to some people. However, like I saw in the PR that got them on Europa, "Sprites are WIP pending better ones"-- although I figure it only needs some tweaks, if anything. And furthermore, "In case people come across this thread and get outraged, sneks are kinda just a toy for now, they won't be part of the final lore. Code will be used for nasties in the ocean map though, probably some kinda smart eel monster."

 

Really looking forward to seeing how this goes, as I'd jump for joy if it was added in-- regardless of KP price tag and nerfs. But I feel it'll meet opposition to the point of dismissal, as unfortunate as that is.

 

[Comms Officers]

Everybody complains about everything, it's just how it is lol

[PhantasmicDream Art]

 

Lmao, I just took in that one of the mini-appendages is flipping off the ascendant. That's so dope.

 

Wicked as always. Bluespace is the place.

 

[Comms Officers]

 

This would NEED to be a whitelist, the selection process for which excludes players with a history of circlejerking, metafriending, or not taking things seriously IC.

 

This is the only reason why I think this might fail or at least become painfully cringey, regardless of what countermeasures are put into place

 

I hope it works out, good luck

 

[Nations]

 

It's an excuse for the shitters to come out and strut their stuff, full bare. If I connect and see it's nations, I never join. If I join a round and it becomes nations, I reluctantly play it to the end with a survivalist attitude and the hopes of the next round being better

 

That aside, I've seen a rare few great Nations rounds and I have had some fun with them to a degree. I wouldn't change a thing, because the problem lies in us players often times

 

[Make gateway team a secure job.]

BS. If you want to explore the gateway, get a toolbelt or a medkit loaded with tools, break into EVA through the wall, grab a suit, then break into gateway through the wall and go on your merry way :^)
