Just dealing with some HUD based runtimes atm. |

Runtimes removed. |

This would be good for mommi/keeper/drone construction rather than a fabricator shitting them out. |
|
That's true @paprka |
|
Build Positronic brain. Build a drone frame from the protolathe / fabricator. Activate the brain and get a ghost. Shove brain into drone frame. You now have a little drone pet! Of course, you could make it into a borg, AI, or mech. It is nice to have options. |
|
@GunHog that'll come with the little improvements to Drones and we go along. |

Does it make it very, very explicit in the text when you enter a posibrain that you know NOTHING your old character knew, absolutely, clean start, no you may not go secbot and just "happen" to randomly search the guy you knew kill you? |
|
@Dorsisdwarf Good catch, I forgot about Wiping past lives with wipe_memory() etc. |
|
Poll it. We can discuss opinions on porting posibrains in a forum thread, not here. Or IRC. |
|
Did you conflict yourself, RR? |
|
yeah, it's why the PR has such an odd [Tag] on it, I knew it would do this so I prioritised the feature which originally had less bugs, in this case, Drones. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Posibrain names aren't all supportive of A or all supportive of AN so \a is fine there.

No no, I mean, just not having A, AN, or \a, because isn't [src] supposed to insert it automatically?

Uh, the only uses of A and AN are to correctly insert A, AN etc in the sentence when you don't know what it is, as in [src] or [exampleobj], I don't believe [src] or [exampleobj] or whatever automatically place A/AN because that reduces the uses of A and AN down to "this is \a bike" which will always be "this is a bike".
tl;dr I think you're wrong, and if you're not wrong then \a and \an are stupid.

Yeah, I am wrong, sorry. I tested by removing \a from /atom/verb/examine(), and it said "That's the fire alarm.". So [src] automatically inserts "the" or "The", not "a" or "an".

Plz finish 👍 |
|
Note, MrPerson is fixing some stuff with mechs and He says he'll try and help me with the Mech-MMI runtimes me and @GunHog found. |
|
@RemieRichards poke 👉 |
|
Yes, fix conflicts and merge plz (After the runtime fix) |
|
If this method is not suitable, you may consider a special MMI (Machine-Machine Interface) that would accept pAIs. That would have little difference behavior-wise with cyborgs and AIs, but the concern would be using them as mech pilots. (Such as a Durand army slaved to a traitor with orders to murderbone) Positronic mech pilots could never be an antagonist, while a pAI could be one by proxy. |
|
GunHog. a Special MMI is EXACTLY what a Posibrian is, It would run into exactly the same bugs, Probably MORE with it being a pAI as well. |
|
RR Plz Finnish K Thx L0L |
|
Agreed, this has the added bonus of making pAIs more desired by ghosted players. It is not a bad way to get AIs playing as well. Artyom does often suffer the lack of AI players during lowpop. |
Posibrains are MMIs that can be made, and when clicked in hand request a ghost to inhabit them. They work EVERYWHERE an MMI works, Borgs, AI, Mechs
