Stating the round duration on the BYOND hub.

Post by Sebro » 13 Aug 2015, 14:29

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Well, considering how LONG the matches go, some people may be wary of joining in too late, wanting to join near round end and round start. That's when I thought, why not add the round time to the BYOND hub? Make it update every minute or something, this will help players decide whether or not they want to join.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Get worried players to join when they are most needed, and to help people decide when they want to get on the round.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Add a timer that gets updated every minute or so to the SS13 Hub.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): I sadly don't know if this is even close to possible, it's probably not, but if it is, then it'd be great.

From my very limited knowledge of the shitshow that is BYOND and SS13's code in particular, I don't think that this is possible at all, though if it is, I see no real reason not to have this. +1 if it's actually possible.

I don't think this is particularly needed, it takes only a moment to log in, from there you can see the round time in the status screen, and you can check what jobs are open.

I really just want to know if this is remotely possible, and it actually takes a minute or two to get into the game (for me).

It's remotely possible. I don't find this necessary but I don't care how developers wants to do with this.

Fairly hard to do...
