Suggested Change to Antag Exploitables

[niennab]

This is rudimentary since I don't have a screenshot for the current Antag Uplink but I wanted to propose a change to the way we display exploitable information. I don't antag often but when I have, I found that I often had to dig through the list of player names due to so many of them being empty. However, if we were to change the way they were displayed, perhaps akin to the way we handle flavour text, it would give antags an obvious answer as to who has filled out their information and who hasn't, encouraging the use of exploitables more often.

If this has been changed already, I apologize!

Here are two versions that I've drafted up as an example. The main idea being to just convey at surface glance if someone has filled out their antag exploitables or not.

Lastly, this is an incredibly small change but can we please move the "Yes!" to join the Revolution or the Company onto the left instead of being on the right? In a recent round both myself, and someone I converted made the same mistake of going "Yes, I am will join.", only to click "No!" like the smooth brains we are. Which usually then brings about an awkward situation of discreetly asking for the prompt once more over looc. If it can't be moved, maybe the text colours are made green for "Yes!" and red for "No!"?

Some yes/no placements are the big dumb, completely going against all online logic, so 100% agree on all these.

As for the exploitables, not having to click into every single person just to check info would be a big QoL change. Seeing if someone has something at a glance? Hecc yeah!

Bay had a thing where if someone has actual text in their exploitables, the name shows red instead of blue.

I wanted to bump this because I think it'd make exploitables a lot more common place!

I like the method GreenBoi brought up, just a simple recolouring of the name. As for the yes/no prompt, I half-think it's like that to combat people who instinctively click yes on pop-ups - don't really care if it gets changed either way.

I did one quick pull request. It's easy fix.

I've removed the rev portion of the original suggestion but I think it'd still be better if we adjusted the antag exploitable portion!

[Valkrae]

As someone who routinely checks exploitable in order to find gimmicks, I support this 100%. This would make my life much easier as antag.

Exploitables are cool, I wish more people filled them out - but atleast this would help me find people that do alot easier. ++

[niennab]

I wanted to try and revive this suggestion as I feel an increased use of exploitable information may mean more diverse rounds overall. The current system means digging through a lot of empty records and I think this change may help antags navigate the list easier.

Sounds pretty easy to get working but I’m not the Coder. If this was implemented it would be a game changer though. So glad you revived the thread!

[ImmortalRedshirt]

Throwing in my support for this one, too. Would make it easier for antags who'd like to do something based on exploitables but don't want to spend however many minutes sifting through blank after blank.
