- Both as a first demonstration and as a practical bugfix, we upgrade the NSFW to use SSoverlay. Instead of building a mutable_apperance and assigning it, we cut_overlays(), make our images, and call add_overlay() to queue it for compiling.
- We also must convert from using New() to initialize() becuase for annoying BYOND reasons, some static variables in SSoverlays are not always instantiated before mapload. So its important not to call overlays functions from New() (We shouldn't be doing that ANYWAY for performance reasons, but now its even more true)
It's just my fluff gun. But sharing is caring.
From the ingame fluff:
"Variety is the spice of life! The 'Nanotech Selectable-Fire Weapon' is an unholy hybrid of an ammo-driven energy weapon that allows the user to mix and match their own fire modes. Up to three combinations of energy beams can be configured at once. Ammo not included."
"This gun is an energy weapon that uses interchangable microbatteries in a magazine. Each battery is a different beam type, and up to three can be loaded in the magazine. Each battery usually provides four discharges of that beam type, and multiple from the same type may be loaded to increase the number of shots for that type."
"The Kitsuhana 'Nanotech Selectable Fire Weapon' allows one to customize their loadout in the field, or before deploying, to achieve various results in a weapon they are already familiar with wielding."
The HoS's includes 2 lethal, 2 stun, 1 net, and 1 ion battery. There are other batteries (like instagib!) but there's no way to get them normally. There's also one that strips people.
Also fixes slidey walls at centcom, gives the ERT commander a NSFW with stun, xray, lethal, and net. Gives deathsquad a full NSFW kit (including 'final option' ammo), replaces my own fluff Hunter with a NSFW with stun and net (so, same as the hunter, but that sprite is so badass I can't help it), and fixes a typo on my permit while I'm on there (KIN isn't a thing, KHI is).
* KHI-98a 'Protector'
* MPA6 'Sickshot'
* PML9 'Pummeler'
The Protector is an energy gun that can't be fired on lethal on code green, so it's considered safe for sec to carry regularly, and has a slightly enhanced stun over tasers and normal eguns. It also features a DNA lock that allows one to secure the gun to themselves. An emag can disable both the security level lock and clear DNA.
The Sickshot is a stun weapon in handheld form, that induces nausea and vomiting. It has a chance to make predators vomit out prey (regardless of belly) and tends to cause confusion and nausea. It does cause slight burns from the hypersonic frequency sound it uses, but nothing serious or potentially lethal.
The Pummeler is a 'bass cannon' essentially that fires a huge sound wave, tossing the target away from you. It may or may not knock them down, depending on your luck, but it will definitely push them away, and potentially over a railing or wherever you wanted to put them.
