People just don’t like being treated badly. It’s not that deep.
If you say “hey, wouldn’t it be cool if X” and you get replies from a coder etc that says “god I fucking hate non-coders that complain about the game” then you are rightfully going to feel dismissed, condescended to and disparaged.
Seriously. 99% of the coder hate is because the default response from the beestation coders/maintainers is “shut the fuck up NON-STAFF WYCI WYCI WYCI”.
Not talking about your specific situation, bud.
If you want to understand what I’m trying to say, I suggest you reread the post and try to think about it in a vacuum.
That’s what started the thing.
And you wanna know why “wyci” is the usual responce? We’re people too, we also play the game and dedicate some of our free time to coding. If the idea seems cool to us, we code it in. If the idea is '“wouldn’t it be nice to have TG wounds/Baymed” the responce is “we’ll need to unfuck kapulimbs and our 7+ damage procs across ~1500 uses and nobody has the motivation to do that”.
Just keep in mind that all coders here are volunteers and if you really want to see an idea get implemented you should probably post a bounty for it.
“this just reeks of entitlement”
they are entitled. they’re the ones who took the time to learn to code, and who take the time to do the work on coding for bee. thus, they are entitled to the privilege of choosing what to code, seeing as nothing would get done without them. see how that works?
this thread is the motivation i needed to start learning. thanks @Ruko for posting the guide above
i doubt there’s any hope for the random pperson asking for X to “code it themselves”
nor for the singular coder… when talking about reworking LE MEDCODE and maybe kapulimbs.
so unless a coalition of coders is formed consider it a untouchable monolith
Im telling you, i coded it, it was working great, someone else did a pr too, but they rejected it… Humanity is not ready for such realism in ss13 where a pool of blood is actually slippery. (And the backbone is there since theres a variable called ‘bloodiness’ or what so a presence of that is enough for a condition to call slipping on someone)
Come up with an original (at least to me, didn’t know someone else attempted) idea to improve gameplay interactions in a meaningful way that encourages RP and avoiding huge disgusting bloodbaths.
“Oh my god this will be terrible”
“Do you know how much of a pain this will be”
Yes. I do. At first. Also plenty of hilarious shenanigans too.
And after a pretty brief adjustment period, I think the game will be much better for it.
