Guest Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 As a player, I have trouble knowing when and when not to ahelp, as I am horrified there will be negative repercussions if I report the wrong thing. How justified is my paranoia? Quote
Dea Tacita Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Utterly unfounded. Unless you're just repeatedly ahelping to say hi Quote
Doomberg Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Perhaps they can't think of anything to ask, or think we'll eat their souls if they ask the wrong question. Does a wrong question exist? ... Wait, I got one. When will ERP be unbanned? Â "Does a wrong question exist?" is the only wrong question that I can think of. As for ERP? Nnnnot any time soon. Quote

How justified is my paranoia? Â I tend to ahelp a lot, character names, people acting off the wall weird in extended, people who could be self antagging. It doesn't chew up much staff time to do a quick check on things, and if you did catch something early, you likely stopped quite a bit of trouble from developing later. Quote
TishinaStalker Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Which mods have experience smuggling classified Soviet military documents across the US-Mexico border in the dead of night while being chased by KGB death squads, the FBI, the concept of mortality, and drug cartels? Â That would be me, but I left that life behind after I became an admin. Quote
Guest Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Another bit of baseless paranoia, but I also feel that at times I am abrasive or rude in OOC or LOOC. Am I as bad as I think I am? Quote

Â You know that I wasn't being serious about the ERP thing, right? Yes. I just decided to answer it anyway. Also, I'm going to reply like this. Hi. -Doomberg. Quote
SpiffyFishface Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Admins... Can reply to things without replying? I'm scared. Hold me. Quote
SpiffyFishface Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 If I were to make an alt account called "Ilovetheaurora" as a tongue-in-cheek joke to a very rude (and now banned) person, would I get banned too? P.S: It's not a joke, I really do fucking love this server. Quote
Jennalele Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 We'd probably chuckle and then ask you to go back to your main account. Quote

Hackie Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Question: How tough is it to put a custom item for someone or create something new entirely? Quote
Skull132 Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Completely depedent on the item and what you want it to do, Hackie. For a custom suit or resprited thing, roughly 5-6 lines of code and a database entry. The most complex you can get, though, is when an item requires modification of an existing proc/item interaction. Speaking personally here, I actually prefer the more interesting items, code wise. I am more partial to doing 100 lines of interesting code, than 5 lines of repetative code. Quote

Wer6 Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 How often are players allowed to run events? Quote
Hackie Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Question: How does custom items and things work? Is it just that someone sees something and codes it in or, is it like a list that they grind through? Quote
Skull132 Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 It's a grind, Hackie. We have a tracker and assigned personnel, but it's going to be a grind until the backlog is cleared. Wer6, you'd have to talk to an admin, get them to share your vision and go from there. Basically, it's as often as people are willing to try and learn. Quote
Guest Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Players are allowed to run player events when people vote for it. All events are usually voted for in advance of a round or just before. Also the admins need to be in a state where they feel ok helping with the event. Custom items need to be coded in as items, and have sprites made for them. Then a players ckey, character name, and item path are listed in a config file, or SQL database in our case. When you spawn in the game checks through the list for your ckey, if it finds a match it then looks at the name, if that matches it spawned the listed item and goes to the next line in the list. Skull you ninja. Quote
SpiffyFishface Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 When will Kittens be programmed in where they can be sold as pets to the crew? Or better yet, can we get kitten vending machines? Quote
