hackbunny posted:How could you possibly be an unsuccessful vampire? I never once failed to be an unstoppable slasher and go nearly undetected The only issue was, I was the captain, and there was very few people. I DID try to find some braindead people to see if I could get my objectives done without the loss of anyone who was not a traitor target, but there was none. My real mistake was using my crate of weapons to try and kill genetics instead of using the flash power the vamp has, then beating them in the head with the oxygen tank. There are resistances to thermal, but not to blunt trauma!

If you upgrade to one of the BYOND 502 betas (on the launcher, go to the Home tab, then select 'Beta', then update), it fixes it. Or if you type in the WASD box, there doesn't seem to be any of that lag there.

Has anyone ever seen a problem with the generator where it gets to about a billion degrees temp and 2MW and just... stops? I had two rounds on server 1 today where I was getting a hellburn going and the generator just suddenly dropped to 0W in under a second. I checked all the pipes, nothing broke - hot loop was ~2k kPa, and the generator was still reporting pressure incoming and outgoing, but it just wasn't making any power at all. This feels like a bug but I hate to cry bug because it might just be me loving up somewhere. Edited to add: gently caress.png  WHY does it keep doing this? It got up to over 10MW and then just went POOF to 0. Urit fucked around with this message at 07:00 on Dec 9, 2013 |

Doing this is an open invitation for admins (and especially me) to do mean things to you. loving with the arrivals shuttle is lovely and unfun regardless of you being an antagonist.

BurntCornMuffin posted:Reminds me of some of the old school thermo generator setups. Not on their own, really. Too much room for the amount of gas. But any admin that was bored would spawn a few dozen plasma and o2 cans right inside next to medbay. There were a lot of bored admins towards the end of that map. This did let you recreate awesome action sequences where all the observation windows exploded and you tried to run back into main engineering before the next atmos/fire tick. With the guides and everything I finally tried new chemistry, and the hardest part is being accurate when clicking. I managed to throw nearly everything I made on the floor by accident.

Sorry dude if there is an AFK dude on the arrivals shuttle and I'm a vampire/changling I'm going to eat them. It's not an admins problem if someone who is or isn't playing the game gets killed by an antagonist.

Thanks to my fellow miners for the best mining/scavenging round ever. First time ever I've seen 1) a full complement of miners, 2) working together, 3) sending poo poo back to the main station, 4) without casualties (except the guy who got lost in space). SYNERGIZE!

Just imagine a traitor knocking someone out and then cuffing them to a chair in a small room with a bitcoin mining rig, where they are doomed to slowly but surely burn to death as the temperature steadily rises. Meanwhile, the massive power drain causes massive brownouts all across the station, and the traitor's wallet grows fatter and fatter.

As I am wrapping presents, I thought of a new present for the stocking: a membership to the poo of the month club, where you obtain a handheld device that mimics a butt bot saying "pooh!" in various ways. Truly it is the gift that keeps on giving with the new sound system on the station.

I'm not sure what causes it, but my guess is the server is getting weirded out about the loop gas for some reason and just sort of stops. I've had luck kicking it back into gear by venting from the south side (the new one that goes towards escape), but eventually it sort of winds down and gets back to 0 kw. Thankfully that only seems to have after a bit of time, so I can usually get some charge into the SMES and then stop by to purge a bit when it hits 0 again.

Robotic limbs are fixed, I'm so happy  Didn't get to try treads yet, but I will. Arms work as intended! edit: Aww, treads don't. But robot legs do!  . I wonder if they still give you the fun speedboost that treads do? Didn't get to see.

Huh, interesting that venting from the COLD side of the loop does that. I actually barely ever use that vent because the gas pressure is ~7000 coming out of the combustion chamber and drops to ~3.0 once it hits the generator, and there's no pumps on that loop so it's hard to actually get the cold plasma out. I wonder if it would be faster to shut the cold loop off and just let the cold side of the engine heat up to help force the plasma out the cold-side vent. The other weird thing is I've ONLY seen it happen on LLJK 1, not LLJK 2.

I wonder if it would be faster to shut the cold loop off and just let the cold side of the engine heat up to help force the plasma out the cold-side vent. Yeah, my working theory is either the one-way valve isn't really moving the gas very much, or the gas just keeps the pumps to move properly. So, venting the pipe lets the area expand, some gas 'moves' through the generator now that it has somewhere to go and voila! the energy starts again. But really I have no idea how the back-end works so who knows!

It's a classic move. My only question is how a traitor mechanic has the time to set the grinders up without someone stumbling on him and jigging up.

My favourite one of those was the evil bastard setting up an invisible grinder field when the station was trying to have a segway race.Commoners posted:SS13 has segways for the security, the nice thing about the segways is that when you hit someone you end up flying up over the handlebars and are down, and so are they. The security can work together to corner criminal scum with segways and bring them into the station by using this (but it's really terrible).

People just walk by mechanics and never care, just keep the board in your hand. Setting up is also pretty easy, sometimes I straight up put them up before deploying the cloaker and people just go around and avoid you. Hell sometimes I mass produce weapons and the only people that care enough are vamps or changlings.

The best is when you clearly have a room full of guns and thermals and everything and a traitor -still- tries to come kill you and take them. Really, all you had to do was ask politely at the window and I would have given you a handful. But no, you had to EMag my loving door. You deserve to have a hundred+ laser rounds turning your body into swiss cheese. E: (Not you, obviously)

Sorry to everyone on LLJK13, I was DELTINA the AI. Internet dropped, and now BYOND is refusing to reopen. Good luck! e: Bloody good round with all the laws I got, though. Even though law 5 did nothing, it simply said "This law overrides all other laws". That's all well and good, but nothing was actually directed.
