I'm a little conflicted. It sounds like a great idea that could help to set the sever apart but I'm also concerned about which project you would be more likely to complete in a timely manner. I'd hate to see you do half of the work to Water World and burn out, when you could have gotten Lavaland done in the same effort. If you feel you got the drive and ability to do the whole project though I say go for it!

As for how to reflavor Ash Walkers, make them mermaids.

I am actually doing the mermaid thing. Thanks for the idea.

What about having it rotate similar to the gateway does?

Some shifts waterworld, some lavaland

This would mean I would need to make waterworld and lavaland VERY different. Which is interesting. I might end up splitting the different mechanics between the two maps.

[WaterWorld Suggestions/discussion]

I've been thinking about adding THE SLUDGE. Which is basically a replacement of lava rivers. It deals respiratory and cloning damage, even through hardsuits. Only way to prevent the damage is by using an aquapod.

[WaterWorld Suggestions/discussion]

Instead of lava rivers, we can have deep sea chasms

[WaterWorld Suggestions/discussion]

Basically, I've been porting lavaland. And me+ SS13 chat decided to make it WaterWorld instead. I am making this forum thread so people can actually write the stacks of suggestions somewhere I can see it.

K thanks bai. <3

EDIT:

Existing features:

Water as a fluid (using the atmospherics system)

Deep sea water effects

Ores (all the ones from the asteroid)

Monsters (all the ones from the asteroid plus carp & mega carp)

The Kraken (a modified version of the DeathSquid that is nerfed significantly and gives actual loot)

 

Currently planned features (long term):

Aquapods (like space pods, but for underwater. Give the mechanic something real to do)

THE SLUDGE (a type of turf that is an aggressive alien ooze. It deals respiratory and cloning damage when you touch it)

Deep sea chasms (an entrance to a lower z-level filled with horrifyingly difficult monsters and epic loot)

Loot for The Kraken

 

Sprite requests:

Modified sprites of all asteroid mobs, for WaterWorld

An uber-large (96x96) set of Cthulu boss monster sprites

Sprites for undersea plants and corals and such

 

Currently working on:

Porting ashwalkers from yog's lavaland. Not sure how I'm gonna get it to fit in the water theme yet

Generically porting yog's ghost role system, to work in addition to our Respawn as NPC

 

[I'm making a PR to add more mixed drinks if you want to suggest new ones put em here.]

From Bonnie, putting it here cuz they didn't actually post it:

 

Bonnie-Today at 12:51 AM

Let's see.

Drink: Hawking Radiation

Description: The result of dividing the square root of a singularity by Zero.

Taste: You can taste a brief history of time.

Ingredients:

10 parts Singulo,

5 parts Manhattan Project,

5 parts Brown Star

 

It'd look like the Singulo, but possibly with the green sheen the radioactive drinks have (like the atomic bomb, or the Manhatten project) Maybe it could give the Spacedrugs effect, the way Nukacola does. I dunno how ridiculous that is, it's 6am, I'm just trying to think of something cool people would actually care to drink at the bar.

When you really consider the age of SS13, it made sense to have OOC because group conversations in skype were hacky as fuck and forums weren't nearly instantaneous enough. It was really the only reliable way to give your community/server an enjoyable instant messenging experience. With more and more people getting second monitors and with discord ostensibly getting its shit together, Discord just makes more sense as a whole for OOC.

It doesn't clutter the game chat window, if someone ICs it's not immediately broadcasted to nearly everyone on the server at once in a high profile large bold blue text, and there's arguably more effective moderation. OOC ingame is pretty much outmoded.

I am not very happy moving from our glorious open source OOC chat to a closed source, closed protocol chat client that doesn't even consistently run on all OSs. Discord is bulky, insecure, and closed.

My opinion on this is incredibly selfish as I have always had OOC turned off during rounds prior to being an admin anyways. But now its one less thing flooding my chat. I'm good with that.

But if we move our chat to the forums and discord, it doesn't give you less work, it just spreads it out. Cuz you still need to moderate the discord.

[OOC Disabling Post-Test Feedback Vote & Discussion]

I like OOC. I like being able to talk to the people actually playing the game, not the 600 people on the discord, half of whom barely play the game. It's a sort of connection. We are sharing the experience of the game, and also able to talk about other things. When the round gets slow and I'm not in the mood for serious RP, I really enjoy being able to talk to the 50-100 people actually in the game.

Honestly, from the arguements I've heard, it really just sounds like we need to make two ooc options: between round OOC, and midround OOC. Because most of the people I've actually talked to about this just don't like the mid-round OOC, and are worried about missing admin announcements.

 

TLDR: Make two OOC preferences: Midround OOC, and Between-Round OOC. And have admins actually use the announcement function for announcements, instead of OOC chat.

K thx bai. <3
