David Rossi Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 What it says on the tin really, not sure of all the coding gaff but there's been occasional discussions in OOC over the topic. https://tgstation13.org/wiki/Abductor Take a look at the TG wiki entry on them. Basically.. how to sum it up, Grey Raiders. IMO, I think it's pretty cool, it'd be nice to see some extra spice instead of lame Vox Raiders who never Raid! So yeah, what do you think? Yay or Nay?

davidchan Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Vegan said he was working on this... a few months ago now. You'd have to ask him how far his port is coming along or if he wants to baton pass the code thus far to someone else if he can't finish it anytime soon due to other commitments.

tigercat2000 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 This isn't likely to happen any time soon. -tg- uses their robust organ system for all of it- we have a much shittier system that would have to be heavily modified to work for this kind of thing.

This and also their surgery system is different (a lot easier to work with). It would require a very very large overhaul of a lot of mob code just to get their organs+surgery system...then we'd have to adapt broken bones and a few other surgeries to that new system, as well. I really like the idea of abductors, but it requires a lot of VERY heavy system changes to be viable: - TG Diseases - TG organ Code - TG surgery code - TG NPC Human mob code (yes, automated humans that talk/do things) Their organ code is really nice though, admittedly; it better paves the way for augmentations and having specific organs have special functions (Bay has this too, but it's not handled as well).

Edd Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I had briefly read that wiki page some day or two ago and I really liked the look of it. Double the fun if this does get ported in and we get a way cooler surgery code! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
improvedname Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 >probes gives every player a objective >tg station objective guys murders everyone etc etc Abductors work much better here tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadApple797 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I really want this, I like how it it's not murdering people directly, which is a change from the other gamemodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veganzombeh Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I actually pretty much finished porting/adapting this, IIRC. The commit should be available on my repo if anyone wants to take a look. I, er, postponed it because I never figured out what to do with the in-hand icons after that was overhauled and haven't much time to look into it since starting uni.

scrubmcnoob Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Bumping because of the new organ PR Doesn't it have to be merged first before we can think about adding these guys in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox McCloud Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Bumping because of the new organ PR Doesn't it have to be merged first before we can think about adding these guys in? Yes. Another thing is, we'd need TG's camera system, as well---a HUGEEE part of abductors is teleporting people in/away, and that system is reliant on how TG and their camera chunks works. Another two systems that we'd likely need are their disease and NPC system, as well (though the latter isn't as important). That said, once all of these backends are in place...yeah, we can consider this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Rossi Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 Then it shall be back up for debate, bring the magic of Abductors to Paradise! It'd be lovely to see them here and as we may be getting the right code to sustain them, I don't see why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidchan Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Mmmm, this is good news indeed. Hopefully abductors are somewhat uncommon so they happed on occasion but not every round. Looking at you admins who adminbus'd yourself in as blobs after the blob update. Five rounds in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
