Sniblet Posted January 28, 2023 Posted January 28, 2023 (edited) BYOND Key: Sniblet Discord Username: Sniblet Character Name: Lyric Valana Item Name: sign reader gloves Item Function(s): When worn, repeats the signer's sign language in vocalized basic. Can be toggled on and off. Might be radio compatible - its developer has it currently functional just short of that point. Item Description: A pair of gloves covered in small motion sensors and gyroscopes, capable of reading a wearer's gestures in TCSL and repeating them out loud. On their wrists, they each have a tiny SCC logo, a barcode, and the inscription SCC-TCSL-TL-15281100001 9. They're surprisingly breathable. Why is your character bringing this item to work?: Lyric is mute. How did your character obtain this item?: After Lyric pitched the idea for this exact object on the relay, Jill N1luz promptly picked it up as a personal project to eventually present as a gift for Lyric. A handful of members of the research department, including fellow mute Marinette Fourier, have helped the project along to the point of a working prototype. The technology probably isn't unique, but it's homemade!... which means that as a work prototype she can't take them offship. What value does this item have to your character, and what story does it tell?: Lyric values this item both as A WAY TO FINALLY TALK TO PEOPLE and as a heartwrenchingly kind gift from the research department. It's her first major step towards free communication since mastering TCSL. Sprites: Electronic gloves @ icons/obj/assemblies/wearable_electronic_setups.dmi . I don't have another sprite to offer and wouldn't really miss having a special sprite for any reason besides "waaa less cool." Additional Comments: Per https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/17912-loadout-sign-reader-gloves/?do=findComment&comment=162219 I have moved this item from a locked thread in the feature request section. If this should be generally available, I'm not the one to talk to, don't bring it here. Marinette's player UponASeaOfStars is the one working on the gloves, and will probably want a pair too, but this isn't her app. Edited January 28, 2023 by Sniblet as a work prototype 3
Girdio Posted January 28, 2023 Posted January 28, 2023 Pretty straightforward, especially since the concept (in general) was decently supported on the other thread. The gloves have an IC reason to exist, and are not going to be something that can be aabused.
UponASeaOfStars Posted February 3, 2023 Posted February 3, 2023 Slight update on the code for these- it works perfectly without radio integration. With radio integration, it's tricky. Oh, and +1 this is a great idea and if anyone deserves them, it's Lyric.
MattAtlas Posted February 3, 2023 Posted February 3, 2023 This item gives you a marked advantage over others so it is not acceptable as a custom item.
