ZomgPonies - Ideas/Projects

Post by ZomgPonies » 21 Aug 2016, 14:53

Here is a quick list of ideas of convenience features for the server:

1. More action buttons. Action buttons for burst-fire, holstering, etc. The UI bar at the top of the screen has plenty of room for more item-specific features.

2. Map overhaul of cloning/morgue. The proportions of the various rooms are terrible and could be optimized way better. More marines cloned in a timely manner means less people just dropping out of the round. It already takes anywhere from 10-20minutes just to be brought back to the cloning room, nevermind the wait there.
- Left side of cloning would be a recovery room where you can leave the old bodies while the new ones get fixed up in medbay. No security between this room and medbay to faciliate getting your old gear back. We can either shrink the morgue a bit to accomodate this room or remove a bit of RnD directly west of cloning. Once stripped, the old bodies can be cremated.
- Shrink the morgue a tad. Crew bodies are in 2 states: Can/Will be cloned or Cannot/Wont be cloned and can be cremated. There are way too many morgue units, this is a huge waste of space.
- Port/Recode other codebase's updated morgue units. 3 lights: Green = can be cloned, yellow = only items in unit, red = cannot be cloned/no ghost. Simplifies seeing who can be cloned at a quick glance.

3. Tactical HUD glasses for all crew/marines. Like secHUDs shows people's jobs, but without access to the security records. Useful to keep track of the medic in your squad, etc. Especially since you can't examine people from a distance anymore.

You do know they are planning to remove cloning in the future, right?
Sometimes, bravery comes from the most unlikely sources.

Outdated. Cloning removed.

I haven't seen Ponies active in a long time, so I'm going to lock this.
