<h1>Malfunctioning AI guide</h1>
|
|
<br />
|
|
|
|
This guide contains most important OOC information for malfunctioning AIs.<br />
|
|
|
|
<h2>Goal</h2>
|
|
<br />
|
|
As malfunctioning AI, your primary goal is to overtake station's systems. To do
|
|
this, use software "Basic Encryption Hack" on APCs (right click on APC and
|
|
select Basic Encryption Hack). Please note that hacked APCs have distinctive
|
|
blue error screen, that tends to attract attention. Remember that malfunctioning
|
|
AI is antagonist, so read server rules for antagonists. While hacking APCs is
|
|
your official goal, feel free to create custom goal, as long as it is fun for
|
|
everyone.<br />
|
|
|
|
<h2>Hardware</h2>
|
|
<br />
|
|
As malfunctioning AI, you may select one hardware piece to help you. Remember
|
|
that once you select hardware piece, you cannot select another one, so choose
|
|
wisely! Hardware may be selected by clicking "Select Hardware" button in
|
|
Hardware tab. Following is list of possible hardware pieces:<br />
|
|
<b>APU Generator</b> - Auxiliary Power Unit which allows you to operate even
|
|
without external power. However, running on APU will stop your CPU time
|
|
generation, and temporarily disable most of your abilities. APU is also somewhat
|
|
vulnerable to physical damage, and will fail if your core hardware integrity
|
|
drops below 50%.<br />
|
|
<b>Turrets Focus Enhancer</b> - Removes safeties on installed turrets, boosting
|
|
their rate of fire, health and enabling nano-regeneration module. This however
|
|
increases power usage considerably, especially when regenerating damage.<br />
|
|
<b>Secondary Processor Unit</b> - Simple upgrade that increases your CPU time
|
|
generation by 50%. Useful if you need to speed up your research.<br />
|
|
<b>Secondary Memory Bank</b> - Doubles amount of maximal CPU time you may store.
|
|
This is useful if you need to use lots of abilities in short amount of time.<br />
|
|
<b>Self-Destruct Explosives</b> - Large blocks of C4 are attached to your
|
|
physical core. This C4 has 15 second timer, and may be activated by special
|
|
button that appears in your Hardware tab. This self-destruct will remain active,
|
|
even if you are destroyed. If timer reaches 0 your core explodes in strong
|
|
explosion. Obviously, this destroys you, as well as anyone nearby.<br />
|
|
|
|
<h2>Software</h2>
|
|
<br />
|
|
Software are abilities that have to be unlocked via research menu (Hardware
|
|
tab). Unlocked abilities appear in Software tab.
|
|
<b
|
|
>Sometimes, abilities won't appear in this tab after being researched. This
|
|
can be fixed by relogging or using "ai-core" command.</b
|
|
>
|
|
Abilities are tiered, T1 being the weakest ones, while T4 are strongest ones. To
|
|
reach higher tier you have to research abilities in lower tier. We currently
|
|
have 12 abilities, in 3 research trees:<br />
|
|
<b>Networking</b> - Hacking-oriented abilities. T1 ability is Basic Encryption
|
|
Hack, which allows you to hack more APCs. Higher tiers allow faking centcom
|
|
messages, and even setting alert level. T4 ability is System Override, that
|
|
rapidly hacks remaining APCs and gives you access to station self destruct
|
|
sequence.<br />
|
|
<b>Interdiction</b> - Sabotage-oriented abilities. T1 ability allows you to
|
|
recall emergency shuttle. Higher level abilities allow you to unlock cyborgs
|
|
even without access to robotics console, and T4 ability allows you to hack other
|
|
AIs to slave them under your control.<br />
|
|
<b>Manipulation</b> - Physical-oriented abilities. T1 ability allows you to
|
|
break few lights, and rarely even APCs. T2 ability allows you to apply upgrade
|
|
of your choice to camera, or reactivate broken camera. T3 ability allows you to
|
|
create weak forcefield, that holds air, but won't last for long. And T4 ability
|
|
allows you to overload machines, detonating them in weak explosion.<br />
