26 September 2012

Carnwennan updated:

• Added new hotkeys. Type hotkeys-help for details or see the drop-down help menu at the top of the game window.

25 September 2012

Donkie updated:

• Reworked the Piano, now really optimized and new interface!

24 September 2012

Petethegoat updated:

• Hopefully fixed the stop midis button. It should now stop any midis that are currently playing.

23 September 2012

Petethegoat updated:

• Fixed an exploit which would allow the janitor to magically mop floors.
• Added lipstick~ It's not available on station, as Nanotrasen has deemed it contraband.
• If you encounter any issues with computers, notify an admin, or ask for assistance on #coderbus, on irc.rizon.net.

Donkie updated:

• Updated the Package Tagger with new interface!
• You can now dispense, remove and retag sort junctions properly!

17 September 2012

Cheridan updated:

• Metroids have been replaced with Rorobeasts. Roros are strange latex-based lifeforms that hate light, fun, and gloves.

17 September 2012

Carn updated:

• F5 is now a hotkey for adminghosting. F8 toggles ghost-like invisibility for admins.
• Catatonia makes you fall down. Admins appear braindead when admin-ghosting.
• "Set-observe"/"Set-play" renamed and merged into "Aghost".
• "Lay down/Get up" renamed to "Rest"
• Closets can't be sold on the supply shuttle anymore
• Fixed all dat light

13 September 2012

Carn updated:

• New Hotkeys (Trial period). Details can be found in the help menu or via the hotkeys-help verb. It's all client-side. It shouldn't intefere with regular controls (except ctrl+A, ctrl+S, ctrl+D and ctrl+W).

10 September 2012

Giacom updated:

• AIs can double click on mobs to instantly start tracking them.

Important note for server hosts!

Important note for server hosts!:

• The file /code/defines/hub.dm was moved into /code/hub.dm. To get your server back on the hub, open /code/hub.dm and set the hub variables again. Sorry for the inconvenience.

8 September 2012

Carn updated:

• Added an additional check to stop changelings sharing powers/becomming un-absorbable/etc by absorbing eachother and then rejuvinating from death.
• Cloaked Aliens are now slightly easier to see, so they should avoid strongly lit areas when possible. They can still lay down to become even stealthier though. Let me know what you think, it's only a minor sprite change.

6 September 2012

Cheridan updated:

• -Changes flour from an item to a container-held reagent. All recipes have been updated to use 5 units of reagent flour for every item required previously. This has a few advantages: The 16(!) sacks of flour previously in the kitchen cabinet have been condensed to an equivalent 3 sacks. Beer is now brewable with universal enzyme, and converting lots of wheat into flour should be less tedious. Also, flour grenades, etc. Because of this, flour is now obtained from the all-in-one blender rather than the processor, and spaghetti noodles are made with 5 units of flour in the microwave.

6 September 2012

Giacom updated:

• Removed cameras from bots (NOT BORGS). They weren't working well with freelook and I felt that since they weren't used at all, they wouldn't be missed.

3 September 2012

Giacom updated:

• Cameras has changed quite a bit. They are no longer created from grenade canisters, instead you make them from an autolathe. The construction and deconstruction for them has also changed, so look it up or experiment it with yourself to see how to setup the cameras now. Cameras also get wires, like airlocks and APCs. There's two duds, a focus wire, a power wire, an alarm wire and a light wire. Protip: You can see which one is the alarm wire by pulsing it.
• Added a red phone and placed it in the Cyborg Station. Sprite by Pewtershmitz! You'll also find an AI restorer there, replacing the computer frame.
• Cameras aren't all X-ray anymore. The AI won't be able to see what room you are in if there's no normal camera inside that room or if there's no X-ray camera nearby..
• Cameras get upgrades! Currently there's X-ray, EMP-Proof and Motion. You'll find the EMP-Proof and Motion cameras in the normal places (Singularity Pen & EVA), the new X-ray cameras can be found in the Dormitory and Bathrooms, plus some extra ones to invade your privacy. See if you can smash them all.
• Alien Larva can bite simple animals (see: Ian, Runtime, Mice) to kill them and gain a small amount of growing points.
• Space travel was tweaked to be more random when changing Z levels. This will stop people and items from being stuck in an infinite loop, as they will eventually hit something to make them stop.

31 August 2012

Agouri updated:

• Overhauled newscasters. No visual additions but the thing is much more robust and everything works as intended. Wanted issues are fixed. Admins, check out Access News Network under Fun.

30 August 2012

Giacom updated:

• You can now create an EMP Pulse. Like an explosion, it is the mixing of two reagents that trigger this to happen. I will tell you the first required reagent. Uranium. Have fun!
• I have made most chemicals need 3-5 or more chemicals in order to react to a turf. For instance, you need at least 5 units of thermite splashed on a wall for it to burn down."
• The EMP kit, that you can buy through the uplink, has two more grenades in them now. Making the box full of EMP grenades!
• Changed the EMP grenade's range to be much bigger.

29 August 2012

Nodrak updated:

• Mice now work with the admin player panel. Admins can now turn players into mice with the 'Animalize' button in the player panel!
• Space bear AI no longer runs when a player is controlling it. Admins can now turn players into space bears with the 'Animalize' button in the player panel!
• The holodeck beach program once again has a beach.
• The nuke op shuttle floor was pressure-washed a few days ago. We have since re-painted it with nanotrasen blood. Sorry for any confusion.

28 August 2012

Giacom updated:

• You can now toggle the bolt light of airlocks. An extra wire, that controls the airlock's bolt light, has been added.
• Aliens can now tell who is and who isn't infected. They get a special facehugger icon that appears over mobs that have been impregnated.
• Cameras have temporary X-Ray for the time being.

August 26, 2012

Nodrak updated:

• Admins now have an 'Animalize' button on a mob's player panel. This button allows admins to turn players into simple animals.
  There are a few exceptions. Mice, Parrots, Bears and Space Worms all have issues that, until fixed, prevent me from allowing players those transformations.

August 25, 2012

Carnwennan updated:

• New lighting. It should look and feel the same as the old lighting whilst being less taxing on the server. Space has a minimum brightness (IC starlight) and areas that do not use dynamic lighting default to a lighting level of 4, so they aren't dark, but they aren't superbright. Replacing turfs should preserve dynamic lighting. Singulo/bombs should cause a lot less lighting-related lag. There are some minor known issues, see the commit log for details.
• Admins can now access most controller datums with the "Debug Controller" verb. Time to break all the things!
• Supply shuttle now uses a controller datum. This means admins can see/edit supply orders etc.
• Changeling fakedeath can be initiated after death again. Next time you want something reverted, just ask rather than being obnoxious.

Giacom updated:

• AIs can now look around like a ghost with the exception that they cannot see what cameras cannot see. Meaning if you're in maintenance, and there's no cameras near you, the AI will not know what you are doing. This also means there's no X-Ray vision cameras anymore.
• AIs can add links to Telecommunication Machines. Added some cameras for areas that should have it but instead relied on cameras nearby for vision.
• Choking has been changed. You have to stand still while lethally choking someone. It takes time to get into that lethal choke. When you are lethaling choking someone, they are still concious until the lack of oxygen knocks them out.

trubble_bass updated:

• Nerfed the Neurotoxin drink, it is now less effective than a stunbaton. But more effective than a Beepsky Smash.
• Updated descriptions on various cocktails to be more accurate or more relevant to the drink itself.

August 24, 2012

Sieve updated:

• Floorbots now actually pull up tiles when emagged
• All helper bots (excluding MULEs) have an access panel and maint panel, access being for behavior and maint for internal work
• To open the maint panel, the access panel needs to be unlocked, then you use a screwdriver. There you can emag/repair it to your heart's content. (Emagging the access panel will also unlock it permanently)
• Helper bots are now repaired by using a welder when their maint panel is open

August 23, 2012

Nodrak updated:

• In-hand sprites once again update correctly when equipping items.

August 16, 2012

Errorage updated:

• Changes were made to how heating and cooling of humans works.
• You must wear both a space suit and space helmet to be protected from space! Likewise you must wear a firesuit and a fire helmet to be protected from fire! Fire helmets are red and white hardhats, found in all fire closets.
• Fire suits now only protect from heat and space suits only protect from cold, so make your choice count.

August 14, 2012

Sieve updated:

• DNA modifiers can be used if there is no occupant, primarily to handle the buffer.
• Ion Rifles are only effected by max severity EMPs, so AOE from its own shot won't effect it
• Pepper Spray fits on Sec belts again

August 11, 2012

Sieve updated:

• Turrets now properly fire at simple_animals.
• Borgs, AIs, and brains/MMIs can be sacrificed by cultists.
• Grenades now automatically set throw on again.

August 6, 2012

Dingus updated:

• Library has been redesigned. It's a whole lot more classy now.
• Significant changes to Medbay. CMO's office is more centralized, genetics has a new exit into cryogenics, and a new break room has been installed

August 4, 2012

Icarus updated:

• Changes to Med-Sci south and surrounding maintenance areas. Virology is more isolated and Science gets a new Misc. Research Lab.
• Atmos techs get construction access now to do their little projects in.
• Transformation Stings now work on living humans.

August 2, 2012

Errorage updated:

• Gas masks now protect you from reagent smoke clouds
• Changed the 'black overlay' you get when paralyzed, blind or in critical condition to include a small circle around you.
• Dramatically lowered the amount of damage you get per breath while in critical condition. Critical condition now lasts for about 5 minutes if nothing is causing you any additional harm. This in combination with the new black image overlay is an attempt at making doctors more willing to help.

Icarus updated:

• Borgs now have flashlights to allow them to see in lightless areas
• Changes to Medbay: The sleeper and storage rooms have been swapped around. Hopefully this leads to more healing and less looting.

August 1, 2012

Sieve updated:

• Borgs can now have an encryption key installed into their internal radios. Simply ID, open the panel, and use the key to insert it (Screwdriver to remove)
• Due to that as well, borgs have a 'Toggle Broadcast Mode' button for their radios, which changes the broadcast type between station-bounced (Non-reliant on TComms), and subspace (Required for department channels)
• Also changed the binary chat for consistency, now for the prefix is ':b' for everyone, not just one for humans and one for borgs/AIs/pAIs
• Based on feedback, Nuke Op pinpointers now automagically change between shuttle and disk mode when the nuke is armed or disarmed.

01-August-2012

Carn updated:

• Please update your BYOND clients! Ideally everybody should be running the latest version of byond (v496). People who fail to update to at least version 494 within a month's time may find themself unable to connect. Currently our code has no restrictions at all, which is rather bad. By getting the user-base to keep their clients up-to-date we can make use of newer BYOND features reliably.

Giacom updated:

• I've made some adjustments to the Fireball spell. I've changed it to shoot in the player's facing direction instead of you having to pick a name from a list. It will explode upon contact of a person, if it hits an obstacle or if it shoots for too long. To make up for the fireball not being able to go diagonal I've shortened the cooldown to 10 seconds. It still can hurt you badly and knock you down if you shoot it at a wall. Lastly, it now lights up so it'll show up in dark rooms easily.

31 July 2012

Giacom updated:

• Removed passive throwing. You need at least an aggressive hold of the mob before you can throw them.
• New map changes by Ikarrus. AI Upload Foyer is now Secure Tech Access, and the outer door only requires Bridge access. Attached to it are two new rooms: The messaging server room and the communications relay. The comms relay room runs off its own SMES unit like the AI, so it won't be affected by powersinks

29 July 2012

Giacom updated:

• All radios now only work in their Z level. This means that the CommSat has a few more additions to work with this change. There is now a new Telecomms Machine called the Relay which allows information to travel across Z levels. It it then linked to a new machine called the Hub, which will receive information from the Relays and send it to the buses. Because every Z level needs these relays, which are linked up with Receivers/Broadcasters, every Z level will get one. There is one in the station, in the RD's office, one in Telecomms as always, one in the Ruskie station which is turned off and hidden from the HUB's linked list. The last one is in Mining but the location for it has not been decided yet.
• PDAs now need to be in a Z level with a functioning Relay/Comms Network in order to send messages. It will also send uncompressed (scrambled) messages like you would with the ordinary voice messages.
• Added some of WJohnston's sprites. Added a new mining borg sprite, Added a new high tech security airlock, Added the new telecomm sprites for Relays. Hubs were given old Bus sprites.

29 July 2012

Errorage updated:

• You can now use crayons to color eggs
• Mice have invaded the station!

26 July 2012

Giacom updated:

• Added a new mushroom for Hydroponics, the Reishi Mushroom! It is obtained like any other mushroom and it has relaxing properties.

July 25, 2012: The day of updates!

Nodrak updated:

• Attacking mobs with items will now give new messages. Instead of "Monkeyman was attacked in the head with a wrench by Nodrak." it will read "Monkeyman was bashed in the head with a wrench by Nodrak." Diffrent items have diffrent verbs and some have multiple verbs.
• Cultists can now read what words a rune was made with by examining the rune. Due to an error in the code, this was not possible before.
• Clowns no longer have practice lasers or staves of change blow up in their face due to clumsyness.
• Engineering cyborgs can now actually repair a cut AI wire in APCs.
• I've removed a ton of pointless checks and redundant loops from metroid's which have been causing lag due to how often they get called. If metroids are behaving strangly ping me in #coderbus

Sieve updated:

• Made a 'default' save slot (D), and whenever you connect it automatically selects the default slot to load from, but manually selecting a different slot will allow you to play on that one before it returns to default.
• Added the ability to name your save slots with the '*'. Names can be up to 16 characters and contain letters, numbers, and basic symbols
• The preview icon on the preference screen now takes into account any job you have set on high, and dresses up the icon accordingly. If assistant is set to 'yes', or AI/Cyborg are on high it will put the icon in a grey suit (So you can still customize).
• Nuke Ops get a new pinpointer, changing modes with the verb will switch between pointing to the disk, and pointing to the shuttle. Also provides a notification when you leave the station z-level
• Reworked how MMI Life() was done, now they will never lose consciousness, and many less things affect them now(Like deafening/blindness from explosions). However, they are vulnerable to EMPs, but all damage is temporary.
• Clowns will no longer be killed trying to use holo eswords
• Major tweaking to try and optimize many operations on the game's backend. Hopefully, this will reduce a large amount of lag by steamlining CPU-intensive operations, but at the same time there was so much changed that there is no real way for a small group to test everything. If anyone spots a bug involving being unable to 'find' mobs, characters, whatever, then put it on the issue tracker or at the very least let #coderbus know. We can't fix shit unless we know about it.

Icarus updated:

• Players not buckled in when the emergency shuttle/pod starts moving get will get knocked down.
• Added a YouTool vending machine to primary tool storage.

24 July 2012

Errorage updated:

• Both the chef and bartender have access to the bar area so both can serve if the other is incompetent or does not exist. Bartender's shotgun and shaker were moved to his back room and the booze-o-mat is now ID restricted to the bartender.
• Added powercells into vending machines in engineering
• Gave two beartraps to the janitor for pest control purposes................

22 July 2012

Errorage updated:

• Mech toys can now be redeemed at the quartermaster's for a great reward! If you collect the full set of 11 toys you should put them in a crate and send them to centcom via the supply shuttle.
• Supply shuttle arrival time reduced to 2 minutes
• Hopefully fixed the toy haul problem which made it possible to get a million toys from arcade machines.

Giacom updated:

• You can now make newlines with your PDA notes.
• You can now research and build the Light Replacer.
• You can now store donuts in the donut box. The next donut you pull out will be the last one you put in.
• APCs will auto-turn on if there is enough power in the grid, even if the powercell is below 30%. The APC needs to be charged for a long enough time before it starts turning equipment on, to avoid spazzing out. If you have any problems with it, such as equipment turning off and on repeatedly then please make an issue report with a screenshot of the APC.

18 July 2012

Giacom updated:

• Added the Light Replacer. This is a device that can auto replace lights that are broken, missing or burnt. Currently it is found in the Janitor's closet and Janitor Borgs can equip it. You can refill it with glass, or if you're a Cyborg, just recharge. It is emaggable and will replace lights with rigged lights. The light's explosion was nerfed to help balance it and it is very noticable when you are holding an emagged Light Replacer.
• The Janitor's equipment locator, on their PDA, will now tell you the direction of the equipment.

17 July 2012

Icarus updated:

• Added department satchels
• Added Captain's Backpack and Satchel
• Added three new hairstyles by Sly: Gelled, Flat Top, and Pigtails. Hair list has also been sorted by grouping similar styles.

Giacom updated:

• Added a new wire for Cyborgs. See if you can figure out what it does.
• You can now fill any container with a sink. You can change the amount to fill, from sinks, by setting your container's transfer amount.

14 July 2012

Carn updated:

• All living mobs can now ghost whenever they want. Essentially making the suicide verb obsolete. If you ghost whilst still alive however, you may not re-enter your body for the rest of the round.
• Humans can no longer suicide whilst restrained (this is purely to prevent meta whilst I finish up the new FUN suicides)
• Fixed dem evidence bags. Fixed metroids getting at it like rabbits. Fixed stuff like welding masks not hiding your face. Bunch of other things

Willox and Messycakes updated:

• pAI Emoticons! Allows each pAI to set their screen to display an array of faces! Click on 'Screen Display' in the pAI OS for a list.

Saturday July 14th 2012

Giacom updated:

• Added Russian Revolvers. This is a special Revolver that can only hold a single bullet randomly in it's chamber. This will allow you to play Russian Roulette with your fellow crew members! You can use it like a normal gun but you will need to cycle through the chamber slots until you hit the bullet. Only admin spawnable.

Friday July 13th 2012

Carn updated:

• Added FLOORLENGTH HAIR. YEESSSSSSSS!!!! :3 If you like it say thanks to Ausops for fixing it up. Credits to Powerfulstation for the original sprite.

Giacom updated:

• Save Slots! You can now have separate save slots for different character setups, with a customizable maximum of 3 slots per account. If you are wondering, you will not lose your old saved setup.
• The character setup screen was updated to look nicer and to fit on the screen.

Icarus updated:

• Added new Dwarf and Very Long hairstyles. Dwarf hair and beard by SuperCrayon.

Thursday July 12th 2012

Giacom updated:

• pAI gets a better PDA that can actually receive messages from people. They can also instantly reply like everybody else now and they can toggle their receiver/signaller/ringer.
• You can show the AI the notes on your PDA by holding it up to a camera. When you show up a paper/pda to the camera the AI can now click on your name to go to you, if you're near a camera. People who are Unknown will not have a link; which would've allowed the AI to track them.
• Made the" common server" and the "preset right receiver" listen for frequencies 144.1 to 148.9. This will allow people to use different frequencies to talk to eachother without bothering the common channel. It will also allow Revs and Cultists to work with each other; everything is still logged though so it still has risks.
• Increased the maximum frequency limit for handheld radios and intercoms. It will give you the option to just use station bounced radios on a higher frequency so that anyone with a headset can't simply tune in.
• Created an All-In-One Grinder that is suppose to replace the blender, juicer and reagent grinder all together. Meaning any department that has a juicer, blender and grinder will instead get this. It will help people be more independent from Chemistry by recycling foods and plants.

Wednesday July 11th 2012

Nodrak, Cheridan and Icarus updated:

• Added a couple of Emergency Shield Projectors to Engineering secure storage.

  Note: Credit goes to Barhardar for the original code and functionality.

  These devices can be used to quickly create an air-tight seal across a hull breach until repairs can been made.

  Wrench them in place and activate them near a hull breach. The shield should extend to all space tiles in range.

  They can be (un)locked by engineering IDs and can also be emagged and otherwise malfunction. As they can not be constructed, you can repair damage and malfunctions by opening the panel with a screwdriver and replacing the wires with a cable coil

Giacom updated:

• Chemistry update: Pills can now be ground up in reagent grinders. You can now put custom amounts of reagent into things using chemmasters. Can now load pill-bottles into chemmasters for mass pill-production.

Carn updated:

• Clicks on inventory slots with items in now act like a click on the thing in that slot. So clicking smaller things (like pens) is easier and you can remove clothing that borks/goes invisible. Please continure to report those kinds of bug though please. Thanks x
• Can no longer interact with your inventory with a mech.

Errorage updated:

• You can now only adminhelp once every 2 minutes so please provide all necesary information in one adminhelp instead of 5! Also reply to admins in PM-s and not additional adminhelps.

Saturday July 7th, 2012

Icarus updated:

• A basketball simulation is now available at the holodeck. Credit to Sly and Ausops for the sprites.

Friday July 6th, 2012

Giacom updated:

• Bottles can now be broken over people's heads! To do this, you must have the harm intent on and you must be targeting the person's head. This change affects alcoholic bottles only. It does not change pill bottles or chemistry bottles. Helmets help protect you from damage and the regents of the bottles will splash over the victim.
• AI's now have access to a PDA. Note: It is not PDA-bomb-able
• Health analyzers and medical PDAs now give a time of death when used on corpses.

Thursday July 5th, 2012

Carn updated:

• Alien larva now chestburst even after their host has died.
• Aliens can now slap facehuggers onto faces so they can infect mobs which lay down (or those stuck to nests).
• Aliens can now slash security cameras to deactivate them.

Wednesday July 4th, 2012

39kk9t & Carn updated:

• Added alien nests. They're basically beds made of thick sticky resin which aliums can 'stick' (buckle) people to for sexytimes
• Weed nodes are no longer dense.
• Queens can secrete resin for walls/nests/membranes
• Various bugfixes

Saturday June 30th, 2012

Icarus updated:

• Added Petethegoat's basic mirrors to the map. They allow you to change hairstyles.
• Remapped Bar, Theatre, and Hydroponics. Bar and Kitchen are now more integrated with each other.

Thursday, June 28th

Nodrak updated:

• I'm currently working on cleaning up and moving around a large portion of the mob code. These changes do not directly affect players; HOWEVER, bugs, oversights or simple mistakes may cause problems for players. While I have tested as much as I can, there may be some lingering bugs I have missed.

  This part of the mob code cleanup mainly focuses on damage variables and procs. So if you suspect something related to taking, dealing or examining damage is not working as intended please fill out an issue report here and be as detailed as possible. This includes what you were doing, steps to reproduce the problem, who you were doing it to, what you were using ect... Thank you.

Carn updated:

• Alien hunters will now cloak when using the 'stalk' movement intent. Whilst cloaked they will use up their plasma reserves. They can however cloak as long as they like. Using the Lay-down verb will allow them to remain cloaked without depleting their plasma reserves, hence allowing them to lay ambushes for unsuspecting prey. Should a hunter attack anybody, or get knocked down in any way, they will become visible. Hopefully this allows for more strategic/stealthy gameplay from aliens. On the other hand, I may have totally screwed the balance so feedback/other-ideas are welcome.
• Removed the invisibility verb from the alien hunter caste.

Wednesday, June 27th

Errorage updated:

• Fixed the bug which prevented you from editing book's titles and authors with a pen. Also fixed the bug which prevented you from ordering a book by it's SS13ID.
• Added the F12 hotkey which hides most of the UI. Currently only works for humans.

Donkie updated:

• Pizza boxes! Fully stackable, tagable (with pen), and everythingelse-able. Fantastic icons by supercrayon!
  Created with a sheet of cardboard.

Tuesday, June 26th

Errorage updated:

• Changeling parasting now only weakens for 10 game ticks. It no longer silences your target.

Saturday, June 23rd

Donkie updated:

• Reworked job randomizing system. Should be more fair.
• List of players are now randomized before given antag, this means that declaring as fast as possible doesn't mean shit anymore!

Carn updated:

• Putting a blindfold on a human with lightly damaged eyes will speed up the healing process. Similar with earmuffs.
• More overlay bug fixes. Most of it to do with little robots and construction stuff. Bugs go here if you have 2 minutes http://nanotrasen.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=9077
• Weakening is instant! That means if you stunbaton somebody they're gonna fall-down immediately.

Icarus updated:

• Medical storage now requires Surgery access (Medical Doctors only)

Wednesday, June 20th

Nodrak updated:

• AIs, Borgs are no longer able to be cultists or revolutionaries as their objectives completely contradict their laws. They can still be subverted of course.
• pAI's no longer keep cult or rev icons.

Cheridan updated:

• -Both Ambrosia forms have had their reagent contents modified to prevent going over the 50-unit cap at high potencies. Ambrosia Deus now contains space drugs instead of poison.
• -Drinking milk removes capsaicin from your body. REALISM!
• -Frost oil hurts less upon consumption.
• -Liquid plasma can be converted into solid plasma sheets, by mixing 20 plasma, 5 iron, and 5 frost oil.
• -Added effects for holy water injection on hydroponics plants.

Monday, June 18th

Giacom updated:

• Fix for special characters on paper and from announcements

Sieve updated:

• Various small bugfixes, check the commit log for full details
• Fixed falsewalls not working
• Made Lasertag ED-209's and turrets much more useful, including making their emag function more fitting
• Added Mesons to the EngiVend to make up for how many lockers were removed
• New Item: Sheet Snatcher. Right now only borgs have them, but they can hold up to 500 sheets of minerals (Of any combination), and auto-stacks them to boot. Used just like the mining satchels, meaning minerborgs can actually deliver metal
• Mech drills can mine sand, and the diamond gets a much larger volume
• If a borg has the satchel in its modules (Doesn't have to be the active one), it will auto-magically pick up any ores it walks over.
• Bumping an asteroid wall with a pickaxe/drill in your hand makes you auto-magically start drilling the wall, making mining much less tedious (humans and borgs)(Also, gustavg's idea)

Icarus updated:

• New afro hairstyles. Big Afro by Intigracy.

Friday, June 15th

Carnwennan updated:

• First update for update_icons stuffs:
  Fixed husking and fatties
  Fixed floor tiles still appearing in hand when laying them
  Fixed runtimes with fatties.
• Fixes for pre-existing bugs:
  Fixed being unable to put belts & backpacks on other people
  nodamage (godmode) now prevents all organ damage. It does not stop healing however.
  Nerd stuff...

Errorage updated:

• Greatly reduced the amount of damage high pressure does.
• Fire suits, firefighting helmets (red harhats) and the chief engineer's white hardhat now protect against high pressure.

Icarus updated:

• Ported over ponytail sprites from Baystation

Thursday, June 14th

Carn updated:

• FEAR NOT! You can now store a pen in your pda. (aka Best commit all commits)

Wednesday, June 13th

Carn updated:

• Massive Mob-Icon Overhaul:
  A large amount of the mob code has been replaced. The systems replaced were causing immense performance issues so the following are very necessary optimisations.
  However, there is a downside: SS13 code is the equivilant of monkeys on typewriters. Despite weeks of constant coding/testing there -will- be things I've missed. The kinds of bugs I'm expecting are overlays not updating and/or in rare cases things not appearing in your hud. Most of these issues can be worked around simply by dropping the item and picking it back up. If all else fails ask an admin to regenerate your icons through view-vars.
  Please report any bugs to me on #coderbus IRC or make an issue on the tracker as a matter of urgency. I will fix them ASAP.
  Also a massive thankyou to Nodrak, Erro, Pete and Willox. :)
• Massive rewrite of the overlays system (particularly for humans). Stuff is cached and only updates when necessary. In effect this means faster updates, less overheads/lag, and less reliance on the game-ticker.
• Numerous bugfixes and tweaks for damage-procs and damage-overlays for humans. They should now be almost seamless, use very little overhead and update instantly.
• TK grab can now be cancelled using the throw hotkey. (so now it toggles on/off like it used to).
• Added verbs to the view-var drop-down list: "Regenerate Icons" will fix a mob's hud/overlays. "Set Mutantrace" will change a mob's mutantrace.
• Damage icons were split up. They kinda look a bit crap so spriters feel free to replace them. Templates are provided in dam_human.dmi
• More to come...

Cheridan updated:

• -Added Lezowski's overalls to hydroponic supply closets. 50% chance per closet for them to replace the apron. -Removed some covers tags from things that made no sense to have them.

Agouri updated:

• Cyborgs and AIs can now use the newscaster. It was a mistake on my part, forgetting to finish that part of them.

Saturday, June 9th

Errorage updated:

• You can now make restraints from cable. It takes 15 lengths of cable to make a pair of restraints, they are applied the same way as handcuffs and have the same effects. It however only takes 30s to remove them by using the resist verb or button. You can also remove them from someone by using wirecutters on the handcuffed person.
• Added four new cable colors: pink, orange, cyan and white. Engineer belts spawn with yellow, red or orange cables while toolboxes and tool closets spawn with all 8 colors.

• Added mineral walls and powered mineral door construction. More information can be found in the commit thread, but basically they are built the same way others are, apply mineral to girder for a mineral wall, mineral to airlock assembly for a powered mineral door.
• Commit Thread

• A toggle-hotkey-buttons verb was added to the OOC tab, which hides the pull, drop and throw buttons for people who prefer to use hotkeys and never use the buttons.
• Added a character setup option which allows you to pick between the Midnight, Orange and Old iconsets for the user interface.

Tuesday, May 22nd

Saturday, May 19th

Doohl updated:

• You can now swap hands by clicking with your middle mouse button (you have to click on a visible object though, that's the catch).

Invisty updated:

• Sexy new warpspace (or whatever) tiles.

Important changes below!

Thursday, May 10th

Sieve updated:

• Reverted dismemberment, the recent gun changes, and Tarajans. Before you shit up the forums, read this:
• Dismemberment was ported from Bay12, but only halfway, and there were several problems with it. I know many people really liked it, but as it stood it did not fit the playstyle here at all. This had to be removed, there is work on a more fitting system, but this had to be taken out first regardless, and the longer people beat around the bush the worse the situation got.
• The gun change was made for no real reason and was pretty problematic, so reverting that should mean there are a lot less 'accidental suicides.'
• Tarjans were reverted by request as well, and since keeping them working after removing dismemberment would be a stupid amount of work.

Sunday, May 6th

Cheridan updated:

• -New booze sprites for the drinks that were removed! Re-enabled the recipes for the removed drinks. Get cracking, bartenders. -You now need 10 sheets of metal instead of 2 to make a gas canister, people can't FILL ENTIRE ROOMS WITH THEM.
