Scheveningen Posted August 6, 2017 Posted August 6, 2017 Someone mentioned we should do an XCOM-ish event in the near future and I had the hilarious realization that snake people would be great for this specific niche. Do it do it do it.
Lohikar Posted August 6, 2017 Posted August 6, 2017 They were removed due to them constantly crashing clients. They're unlikely to be re-added unless someone can figure out a way to make them stable.
Skull132 Posted August 6, 2017 Posted August 6, 2017 What Lohikar said. They cause memory access violations in the clients, consistently. When in cases they really shouldn't.
Scheveningen Posted August 6, 2017 Author Posted August 6, 2017 That sucks. I imagine refactoring them isn't high priority either, even for a meme tool. You can close this then if it's not that fathomable for the foreseeable future.
Kaed Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 Snake people..? There was a dumb joke the admins put together for April 1st this year where they created a fake new species called 'snakepeople' that had a stupidly long body made of tail segments, but it was really hacky and unstable. In the one round I was in for about five minutes before deciding to leave until they got the 'joke' out of their system, it didn't look like their bodies even displayed right, they were just floating clothes with a poorly drawn tail extending off behind them for about a 10-12 squares. Apparently it also caused a lot of crashes, if this thread can be any clue. You can probably tell from my tone that I didn't find it amusing in the least, but clearly a lot of people want a repeat the the joke that aren't me, so take my words with a grain of salt.
AllyBearsley Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 I think people would actually like snake people because snake people are pretty popular on the internet. However, how we had snake people was completely silly and the tails were too long. Like insanely too long. They reached ludicrous levels of length. And I, with no experience coding in byond, blame the tail length for crashes.

If we ever get them back, they would be either an admin bus tool or an antag species.
UnknownMurder Posted August 8, 2017 Posted August 8, 2017 Suggestion Rules: The reasoning behind a suggestion should be elaborated upon in the initial post to a reasonable extent. Right now, I have no idea what "Snake People" are and haven't seen the sprite. I'm serious, I've never seen it. What do they do? Is it like this from XCOM as you've said? or even this? semi-NSFW content
Ron Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 Voting for dismissal. Unless a developer is planning on fixing the crashes, I do not see a point in keeping this in the forum.
Lohikar Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 Also voting for dismissal, I don't see this getting fixed any time soon.
