Paramedics currently start with broad department access. This proposal replaces that by granting temporary department access only when an emergency is called. When a player presses "Call X" on a Requests Console, responders called receive temporary access to the common work areas of that department.  > [Security] The Automated Announcement System coldly states, "SECURITY EMERGENCY in Research Lab! (Called by Sloan Keppel, Scientist) RETA door access granted to responders." > [Science] The Automated Announcement System coldly states, "RETA activated (Called by Sloan Keppel, Scientist). Security personnel now have temporary access to your areas." They do not receive access to sub rooms or high risk areas. - Access lasts 5 minutes (configurable) - Access is removed when the timer expires or the emergency is resolved - No mapping changes are required (uses existing request consoles) - Removes Paramedics round start access but gives them external access to rescue bodies in space by default - Flashing blue lights on doors affected by temporary access <img width="897" height="837" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/97980cb4-3481-44b6-9f96-fc241ca16f57" /> **The full document is here: https://hackmd.io/@NM8HxpG_Toahg5pimrpsKw/Hk0tKq3Yxe** **Wiki documentation for players and admins: https://wiki.tgstation13.org/Guide_To_RETA** ## Why It's Good For The Game - Removes paramedics’ broad “Doctor+” access. - Keeps them effective as emergency responders. - Responders must be called in OR access upgraded. - Keeps sensitive areas secure. - Prevents spam or stacking through cooldown. - Scales across all maps without mapper work. - Gives admins a new tool for temp department wide access - Dedicated logging file and unit tests - Very performant, only affects living players with connected mind - Gives Request Consoles more use as an alarm button and further utility - Imagine later on "Request Janitor" which sorts access and tells Janitor where needed ## Changelog 🆑 add: RETA System - Request Consoles give temporary access to responders when used for some areas. Paramedics lose broad access but get external space access. qol: Request consoles now show name and job role on call message & Cooldown on spamming calls + sound prompt qol: Medibot access no longer based on Paramedic trim ID - Still has original access image: Added "lights_reta" for temporary door access when in effect admin: Gives admins "RETA door access" verb for giving department wide area access on maps. config: New config settings for RETA /🆑
Networks: Subsystems that are conceptually networked IN-GAME
Specifically, these subsystems are for in-game mechanics that are intended to rely on a digital/radio/physical network, such as telecomms servers or the powernet
The intent of this folder categorization is to be able to quickly reference what are intended to be in-game networks, vs what is logically networked inside the code.
Knowing what is meant to be conceptually working off of an in-game network serves as guidance for adding or modifying features or fixing oversights and/or bugs.
For instance, the radio jammer only affecting headsets and suit sensors could benefit from a shorthand awareness of other systems that are represented as a network, such as research. Using the radio jammer near a server or fabricator could cause it to sever its link to the supply silo or the research web. This example is presented only as such, and not a recommendation on any new features or balance changes.
