8 February 2014

MrPerson updated:

• Added a NanoUI for the SMES

5 February 2014

Yota updated:

• Handling a couple flashlights will no longer transform you into the sun. Each light source will have deminishing returns.
• Inserting lights into containers should no longer dim other lights.

3 February 2014

Demas updated:

• Changes windoor and newscaster attack messages to be consistent with windows and grilles. This removes the distracting boldness from windoor attack messages, which is reserved for userdanger, and names the attacker.
• Thrown items now play a sound effect on impact. The volume of the sound is based on the item's throwforce and/or weight class.
• The fireaxe now has 15 throwforce, when previously it had only 1. But why would you throw it away, anyway?
• Projectiles now play a sound upon impact. The volume of the sound depends on the damage done by the projectile. Damageless projectiles such as electrodes have static volumes. Practise laser and laser tag beams have no impact sound.
• Added sear.ogg for the impacts of damaging beams such as lasers. It may be replaced if player feedback proves negative.

2 February 2014

Demas updated:

• Attack sounds for all melee weapons! No more silent attacks.
• The volume of an object's attack sound is based on the weapon's force and/or weight class.
• Welders, lighters, matches, cigarettes, energy swords and energy axes have different attack sounds based on whether they're on or off.
• Weapons that do no damage play a tap sound. The exceptions are the bike horn, which still honks, and the banhammer, which plays adminhelp.ogg. Surely nothing can go wrong with that last one.
• When you tap someone with an object, the message now uses "tapped" or "patted" instead of attacked. The horn still uses HONKED, and the banhammer still uses BANNED.
• You won't get the "armour has blocked an attack" message for harmless attacks anymore.
• Adds 5 force to the lighter when it's lit. Same as when you accidentally burn yourself lighting it.
• Removes boldness from item attack messages on non-human mobs. The attack is bolded for a player controlling a non-human mob. Now your eyes won't jump to the chat when it's Pun Pun who's being brutalised.
• Blood will no longer come out of non-human mobs if the attack is harmless.
• Adds a period at the end of the catatonic human examine message. That's been bugging me for years.
• The activation and deactivation sounds of toy swords, energy swords and energy shields are slightly quieter. Energy swords and shields are now slightly louder than toys.
• You can no longer light things with burnt matches.
• Match, cigarette and lighter attack verbs, forces and damage types change based on whether the object is lit or not.
• Fixes a bug with the energy blade that kept it at weight class 5 after it was deactivated. Who cares, it disappears upon deactivation.
• Changes the welder out of fuel message slightly to be less fragmented.
• Removes dead air from a lot of weapon sound effects to make them more responsive. In other words, the fire extinguisher attack sound will play a lot sooner after you attack than before.
• Equalised the peak volumes of most weapon sounds to be -0.1dB in an attempt to make volumes based on force more consistent across different sounds.

1 February 2014

Ergovisavi updated:

• Walking Mushrooms will now attack and eat each other! They're all a little unique from each other, no two shrooms are exactly alike, and a better quality harvest means stronger Walking Shrooms. Pit them against each other for your entertainment.
• Each mushroom will have a different colored cap to identify them. When mushrooms eat each other, they get stronger. The resulting mushroom will drop more slices when cut down to harvest, and will have better quality slices.
• Don't hurt them yourself, though, or you'll bruise them, and mushrooms won't get stronger from eating a bruised mushroom. If your mushroom faints, feed it a mushroom such as a plump helmet to get it back on its feet. It will slowly regenerate to full health eventually.

30 January 2014

Demas updated:

• Updates box2550Away

• Syndicate borgs can hear the binary channel, but they won't show up on the Robotics Control computer or be visible to the AI. Their lawset is the standard emag one.
• Added two cyborg recharging stations to the Syndicate Shuttle.

11 January 2014

Errorage updated:

• Cyborg modules now use a new UI, which is much quicker than a menu.

Giacom updated:

• The game will now have all background operations disabled, this will result in smoother gameplay but may result in some spike lags, before being set back to normal. The gradually increasing lag should now be gone.
• You can now emag the crusher, in disposals, to remove the safety. You can use a screwdriver to reset it to the default factory settings.

4 January 2014

Razharas updated:

• Constructable machines now depend on R&D parts!
• DNA scanner: Laser quality lessens irradiation. Manipulator quality drastically improves precision (9x for best part) and scanner quality allows you to scan suicides/ling husks, with the best part enabling the cloner's autoprocess button, making it scan people in the scanner automatically.
• Clone pod: Manipulator quality improves the speed of cloning. Scanning module quality affects with how much health people will be ejected, will they get negative mutation/no mutations/clean of all mutations/random good mutation, at best quality will enable clone console's autoprocess button and will try to clone all the dead people in records automatically, together with best DNA scanner parts cloning console will be able to work in full automatic regime autoscanning people and autocloning them.
• Borg recharger: Capacitors' quality and powercell max charge affect the speed at which borgs recharge. Manipulator quality allows borg to be slowly repaired while inside the recharges, best manipulator allows even fire damage to be slowly repaired.
• Portable power generators: Capacitors' quality produce more power. Better lasers consume less fuel and reduce heat production PACMAN with best parts can keep whole station powered with about sheet of plamsa per minute (approximately, wasn't potent enough to test).
• Autolathe: Better manipulator reduces the production time and lowers the cost of things(they will also have less m_amt and g_amt to prevent production of infinity metal), stacks' cant be reduced in cost, because thatll make production of infinity metal/glass easy
• Protolathe: Manipulators quality affects the cost of things(they will also have less m_amt and g_amt to prevent production of infinity metal), best manipulators reduces the cost 5 times (!)
• Circuit imprinter: Manipulator quality affects the cost, best manipulator reduce cost(acid insluded) 4 times, i.e. 20 boards per 100 units of acid
• Destructive analyzer: Better parts allow items with less reliability in. Redone how reliability is handled, you now see item reliability in the deconstruction menu and deconstructing items that has same or one point less research type level will rise the reliability of all known designs that has one or more research type requirements as the deconstructed item. Designs of the same type raise in reliability more. Critically broken things rise reliability of the design drastically. Whole reliability system is not used a lot but now at least on the R&D part it finally matters.

2 January 2014

Giacom updated:

• THE REALISM: Injectors such as syringes, parapens and hypos will not penetrate coveralls with thick material, this includes space suits, biosuits, bombsuits, and their head slot equivalent. Injectors now also consider where you aim, if you aim for the head it will try to use it through the head slot, otherwise it will aim for the body. To clarify, if you are wearing a space helmet and a doctor tries to inject you while aiming at your head, it will protect you until they aim for the unprotected body; same story for wearing a space suit and not a helmet.
• The syndicate shuttle has been heavily upgraded with a brand new technology which allows the blast doors to the entrance of the shuttle to AUTOMATICALLY close. Whoa. This brand new technology will help keep out those snoopy crew members.
• Lowered the cooldown of creating virus cultures to 5 seconds. You now only need to mix one unit of synaptizine, in a blood full of an advance virus, to get it to remove a random symptom.

Adrinus updated:

• Beware the new Summon Magic spell, which will grant the crew access to magical tools and spells and cause some to misuse it!
• One Time Spellbooks that can be spawned during summon magic that can teach a low level magic skill to anyone! Beware the effects of reading pre-owned books, the magical rights management is potent!
• Magical Wands that can be spawned during Summon Magic! They come in a variety of effects that mimic both classical wizard spells and all new ones. They come precharged but lack the means to refill them once their magical energy is depleted... Fire efficently!
• Be aware of the new Charge spell, which can take normally useless spent wands and give them new life! This mysterious effect has been found to wear down the overall magical potency of wands over time however. Beyond wands the clever magical user can find ways to use this spell on other things that may benefit from a magical charge...
• The Staff of Resurrection, which holds intense healing magics able to defeat death itself! Look out for this invaluable magical tool during castings of Summon Magic.
• Be on the lookout for a new apprentice! This noble mage is a different beast from most wizards, trained in the arts of defending and healing. Too bad he still works for the wizard!

26 September 2013

Cheridan updated:

• Nanotrasen Anomaly Primer:
  Unstable anomalies have been spotted in your region of space. These anomalies can be hazardous and destructive, though our initial encounters with these space oddities has discovered a method of neutralization. Method follows.
  

  Step 1. Upon confirmation of an anomaly sighting, report its location. Early detection is key.
  Step 2. Using an atmospheric analyzer at short range, determine the frequency that the anomaly's core is fluctuating at.
  Step 3. Send a signal through the frequency using a radio signaller. Note that non-specialized signaller devices may possibly lack the frequency range needed.
  

  With the anomaly neutralized and the station brought out of danger, inspect the area for any remnants of the anomaly. Properly researched, we believe these events could provide vast amounts of valuable data.
  Did you find this report helpful? YesNo

21 September 2013

Malkevin updated:

• Due to complaints about Security not announcing themselves before making arrests NT has now issued it's Sec team with loud hailer integrated gas masks, found in their standard equipment lockers. Users can adjust the mask's level of aggression with a screwdriver.

Also their reflection spread has been greatly widened, enjoy the lightshow
• Cargo can now order exile implants.
• Checking a collector's last power output via analyzers has been moved to multitools, because that actually made sense (betcha didn't know this existed, I know I didn't)
• Analyzers can now be used to check the gas level of the tank in a loaded radiation collector (yay no more crowbars), you can also use them on pipes to check gas levels (yay no more pipe meters)

17 September 2013

SuperSayu updated:

• You can no longer strip people through windows and windoors
• You can open doors by hand even if there is a firedoor in the way, making firedoor+airlock no longer an unbeatable combination
• Ghosts can now click on anything to examine it, or double click to jump to a turf. Double clicking a mob, bot, or (heaven forbid) singularity/Nar-Sie will let you follow it. Double clicking your own corpse re-enters it.
• AI can double click a mob to follow it, as well as double clicking turfs to jump.
• Ventcrawling mobs can alt-click a vent to start ventcrawling.
• Telekinesis is now part of the click system. You can click on buttons, items, etc, without having a telekinetic throw in hand; the throw will appear when you click on something you can move (with your mind).

13 September 2013

JJRcop updated:

• We at Nanotrasen would like to assure you that we know the pain of waiting five minutes for the emergency shuttle to be dispatched in a high-alert situation due to our confirmation-of-distress policy. Therefore, we have amended our confirmation-of-distress policy so that, in the event of a red alert, the distress confirmation period is shortened to three minutes and we will hurry in preparing the shuttle for transit. This totals to 6 minutes, in hope that it will give our very expensive equipment a better chance of recovery.

12 August 2013

Giacom updated:

• Changed the blob balance to make the blob start strong but grow slower, resulting in rounds where the blob doesn't instantly get killed off if found out and doesn't immediately dominate after being left alone long enough. AIs no longer have to quarantine the station.

10 August 2013

Malkevin updated:

• Cargo Overhaul: Phase 1
• Ported Bay's cargo computer categoy system
• Crates have been tweaked significantly. Crates have been reduced to single item types where possible, namely with expensive crates such as weapons and armor. A total of 28 new crates have been added, including chemical and tracking implants, and raw materials can also be bought from cargo for a significant number of points (subject to change)
• This was a pretty large edit of repetitive data, so no doubt I've made a mistake or two. Please report any bugs to the usual place

6 August 2013

Giacom updated:

• NTSL no longer allows you to use a function within another function parameter. This was changed to help prevent server crashes; if your working script no longer compiles this is why.

5 August 2013

Kaze Espada updated:

• Nanotrasen has recentely had to change its provider of alcoholic beverages to a provider of lower quality. Cases of the old ailment known as alcohol poisoning have returned. Bar goers are to be weary of this new condition.

4 August 2013

Giacom updated:

• Nanotrasen has re-arranged the station blueprint designs to have non-essential APCs moved to the maintenance hallways. Non-essential rooms that aren't connected to a maintenance hallway will have their APC remain. Station Engineers will now have easy access to a room's APC without needing access themselves. Nanotrasen also wishes to remind you that you should not sabotage these easy to access APCs to cause distractions or to lockdown someone in a location. Thank you for reading.

Ricotez updated:

• Atmospherics now has its own hardsuit. Instead of radiation protection it offers fire protection.

21 July 2013

Malkevin updated:

• Cultists now start with two words each, and the starting talisman no longer damages you when you use it

21 July 2013

Cheridan updated:

• Instead of a level-up system where it is possible to acquire all the skills, each skill now costs 1 point, and you can pick up to 5.Husking people, instead of giving you more XP to buy skills, now gives you a skill reset, allowing you to pick new ones.
• DNA Extract Sting is now free, and is your main mode of acquiring DNA. You can hold up to 5 DNAs, and as you acquire more, the oldest one is removed. If you're currently using the oldest DNA strand, you will be required to transform before gaining more.
• New abilities! An UI indicator for chemical storage! Fun!

16 July 2013

Malkevin updated:

• Summary of my recent changes: Added a muzzle and a box of Prisoner ID cards to the perma wing, RnD can make a new combined gas mask with welding visor, added some atmos analyzers to atmospherics, air alarm circuit boards have their own sprites, package wrapped objects will now loop back round to the mail chute instead of auto-rerouting to disposals, and the detective and captain have access to securitrons through their PDA cartridges.

15 July 2013

Giacom updated:

• A new item has been added to the syndicate catalog. The AI detector is a device disguised as a multitool; it is not only able to be used as a real multitool but when it detects an AI looking at it, or it's holder, it will turn red to indicate to the holder that he should cease supiscious activities. A great and cheap, to produce, tool for undercover operations involving an AI as the security system.

7 July 2013

Giacom updated:

• Revamped blob mode and the blob random event to spawn a player controlled overmind that can expand the blob and upgrade pieces that perform particular functions. This will use resources which the core can slowly generate or you can place blob pieces that will give you more resources.

27 June 2013

Ikarrus updated:

• Nanotrasen R&D released a new firmware patch for their station AIs. Included among the changes is the new ability for AIs to interact with fire doors. R&D officials state they feel giving station AIs more influence could only lead to good things.

16 June 2013

Khub updated:

• Job preferences menu now not only allows you to left-click the level (i.e. [Medium]) to raise it, but also to right-click it to lower it. That means you don't have to cycle through all the levels to get rid of a [Low].

15 June 2013

Carnie updated:

• DNA-scanner pods (DNA-modifier + cloning), now open and close in a similar fashion to closets. This means you click on them to open/close them. This change was to fix a number of issues, like items being lost in the scanner-pods.
• As a side-effect, borgs can now clone humans. No harm can become a dead human, so they are not necessarily lawbound to clone them, and such tasks are probably best left to qualified genetics staff.

Petethegoat updated:

• Updated chemical grenades. The build process is much the same, except they require an igniter-X assembly instead of a single assembly item. You can also just use a cable coil to get regular grenade behaviour.

9 June 2013

Ikarrus updated:

• Server operators may now allow latejoiners to become antagonists. Check game_options.txt for more information.
• Server operators may now set how traitors and changelings scale to population. Check game_options.txt for more information.

Dumpdavidson updated:

• Headsets can no longer broadcast into a channel that is disabled.
  Headsets now have a button to turn off the power instead of the speaker. This button disables all communication functions.
  EMPs now force affected radios off for about 20 seconds.

2 June 2013

Ikarrus updated:

• To reduce costs of security equipment, mounted flashers have been adjusted to use common handheld flashes as their flashbulbs. Although these flashbulbs are more prone to burnout, they can easily be replaced with wirecutters.

25 May 2013

Ikarrus updated:

• CentCom announced some minor restructuring within Space Station 13's command structure. Most notable of these changes is the removal of the Head of Personnel's access to the security radio channel. CentCom officials have stated the intention was to make the HoP's role more specialized and less partial towards security.

14 May 2013

Ikarrus updated:

• Nanotrasen seeks to further cut operating costs on experimental cyborg units.
  -Cyborg chassis will now be made from a cheaper but less durable design.
  -RCDs found on engineering models have been replaced with a smaller model to make room for a metal rods module.
  -Cyborg arms will no longer be long enough to allow for self-repairs.
  NOTE: A cyborg's individual modules have been found to become non-operational should the unit sustain too much structural damage.

11 May 2013

Malkevin updated:

• SecHuds now check for valid clearance before allowing you to change someone's arrest status. There is only one way to bypass the ID check, and its not the usual way.

7 May 2013

Ikarrus updated:

• As a part of the most recent round of budget cuts, toolboxes will now be made with a cheaper but heavier alloy. HR reminds employees to avoid being struck with toolboxes, as toolbox-related injuries are not covered under the company's standard health plan.

5 May 2013

Rolan7 updated:

24 April 2013

Carnie updated:

• DNA reworked: All SE blocks are randomised. DNA-modifier emitter strength affects the size of the change in the hex-character hit. Emitter duration makes it more likely to hit the character you click on. Almost all DNA-modifier functions are on one screen.
  Balancing -will- be off a bit. Is getting halk to hard/easy? Please report bugs/balancing issues/concerns here: http://forums.nanotrasen.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=13083 <3

• Stun batons/prods now work off power cells, which can be removed and replaced! Use a screwdriver to remove the battery.

17 April 2013

Giacom updated:

• If the configuration option is enabled, AIs and or Cyborgs will not be able to communicate vocally. This means they cannot talk normally and need to use alternative methods to do so

10 April 2013

Cheridan updated:

• You can now condense capsaicin into pepper spray with chemistry.
• Pepper spray made slightly more effective.
• Teargas grenades can be obtained in Weapons and Riot crates.
• Riot crate comes with 2 sets of gear instead of 3, made cheaper. Beanbag crate removed entirely. Just make more at the autolathe instead. Bureaucracy crate cheaper, now has film roll.
• NT bluespace engineers have ironed-out that little issue with the teleporter occasionally malfunctioning and dropping users into deep space. Please note, however, that bluespace teleporters are still sensitive experimental technology, and should be Test Fired before use to ensure proper function.

9 April 2013

Ikarrus updated:

• Liquid Plasma have been found to have strange and unexpected results on virion cultures. The executive chief science officer urges virologists to explore the possibilities this new discovery could bring.

Cheridan updated:

• When an AI shunts into an APC, the pinpointer will begin tracking it. When the AI returns to its core, the pinpointer will go back to locating the nuke disc.
• New sechud icons for sec officers/HoS, medical doctors, and loyalty implants.

28 March 2013

Carnie updated:

• Empty character slots in your preferences screen will now randomize. So they won't initialise as bald, diaper-clad, white-guys.
• Reworked the savefile versioning/updating code. Your preferences data is less likely to be lost.

14 March 2013

Major_sephiroth updated:

• You can now light cigarettes with other cigarettes, and candles. And cigars. Light a cigar with a candle! It's possible now!

13 March 2013

Elo001 updated:

• You can now open and close job slots for some jobs at any IDcomputer. There is a cooldown when opening or closing a position.

8 March 2013

Kor updated:

• You can now construct/destroy bookcases. This is super exciting and game changing.

6 March 2013

Petethegoat updated:

• Petethegoat says, "Added a new feature involvi-GLORF"
• Overhauled how grabs work. There aren't any interesting mechanical differences yet, but they should be a lot more effective already. You don't have to double click them anymore. Report any bugs with grabbing directly to me, or on the issue tracker.

24 February 2013

Ikarrus updated:

• AI has been moved back to the center of the station. Telecoms has been moved to engineering.
