Port Request Thread

[wowzewow]

I have an overwhelming premonition that people are going to start to ask to port things, so I'm making a thread.

[Roostercat]

Toilets and sinks can overflow and flood rooms

 

The ORs have vitals monitors and a screen that displays stuff a medical monitor does. The Vitals Monitor has an audible beep to gauge heart rate

 

Medical gets a combiknife that has several tools on it:

 

Spacey looking OR tools. Fuck I can probably sprite new ones tbh

 

Their medkits also look better tbh

 

Apparently you can smell stuff like cigarette smoke and blood 

 

[greenjoe]

The ironing system could be interesting to see.

Combi-knives are there for a bunch of different departments, though i'm not sure if everyone being able to carry a little knife around would fly on aurora as much as bay.

[Roostercat]

Could make the knife part comparable in damage to a screwdriver. Just a shitty lil combiknife. 

 

 

Also, you have to actually use different species' bloods for proper treatment. We KINDA have this but its meh on our server. This would be neat.

The less harsh vote alarm and bwoink sounds. Could go a step further and have a toggle between harsh and gentle, so people tabbed out don't miss them. Also the warnings staff get when a ticket has been left unattended - 'X's ticket has been left without response for 10 minutes' or whatever it was.

I also really like that one section in one of the helm consoles where the various shuttles can create missions and specify destination, etc.

The credits at roundend were also super cool, but that's probably just because they were novel and accompanied by cool music. I can see them getting dull pretty fast or just not fitting the Aurora's atmosphere. I'm on the fence. Probably not worth it tbh.

As a former Bay player they are interesting for a bit but rapidly become annoying, and also break the setting's atmosphere by making it out to be a movie.

 

As for ports, the most interesting thing to me is the scent system. It's an interesting feature of Bay which I've always felt adds a lot of atmosphere.

Body scanners can beam scans straight to OR monitors

[Roostercat]

Can hold down shift to toggle run, this would be neat

[greenjoe]

There's public records, which, like the name suggests, can be seen by anyone, without access restrictions like sec/med/employment records, and would have stuff that the character might want anyone to know
those could be interesting to have

[greenjoe]

Also the ability to set custom email address/email password
and custom memory stuff? whatever that is used for..?

Being able to see the progress bar of other people doing something that takes time has some cool utility I think.

Memories are just internal notes you can view. You've probably already used that on aurora when trying to see how much money you have in a round or something.

The offset applied to a character when they stand on a table would be neat to have, it moves them up a bit so it looks like they're standing on a table

a neat custom food system bay has, lets you combine various things into fully custom meals

[greenjoe]

while they're far different from the holo-consoles we have, these connected ones are quite fancy

[ImmortalRedshirt]

The Orange Alert for engineering-related emergencies was a pretty useful thing. Supermatter Monitoring program also very useful, even if I don't get what the numbers mean.

Also has some neat loadout items. Working on and off on some pride items, so hopefully we should see that sometime before June.

You can hack a console via a terminal game to get the exact position of any PDA, no matter the owner's suit sensors settings

Thiiiis.

What exactly DOES that do? I saw it while ghosting, and it looks like it gives those on the bridge more to do, which could definitely be good to have. That said, I have no idea what it does or how it works.

[GeneralCamo]

The docking program allows the bridge to view all docks, and their current status (whether a ship is docked or not). The SEV Torch's docks are also secure, and the docking program allows the bridge to view and modify the docking codes for this. This means in order for an off-ship to dock, they need to ask for permission from the bridge before the doors auto-open for them. Otherwise they'll need to break in.

I'll declare this my next project. I'll make a PR when I have the time.

We already had this on aurora. It was bad, because people typically use shift + click to examine things, so people would accidentally run all the time. This was especially a problem for Unathi, where sprinting fucks over your energy.

Holy shit. Please.

While minor, the Bay chapel also looks nicer than the current one Aurora has.

It looks more in line with an actual religious room due to having pews, compared to generic wooden chairs. The toggle near the door to toggle the service as ongoing could also be kinda neat, to add to the flavor of 'the chapel is being used', despite being a small addition. I could see some regular wooden chairs remaining near the back or against the wall, if people absolutely wanted to keep wooden chairs there for people to pick up and move.

I also like the memorial room the bay chapel has in the back
