I feel like an idiot, I was on fucking hippie wondering why I haven't gotten antag in ages when I realized I never set my preferences.
[QUOTE=Foosili;47291819]anything thats normal sized or smaller gets batted and does extra damage if you have a baseball bat in your other hand this is amazing i love this the wizard this round is named barry bonds and he's just batting shit everywhere cargo is full of baseball bats[/QUOTE] So is it only metal bats that can smack normal sized items, or can wooden ones do it too?
Actually you know, stun batons that weakened and needed two whacks to full stun could be sorta interesting. I've got no clue how it would really play out considering how many instastuns (instuns?) there are in the game, but being knocked down for the count in one hit is a bit annoying on the receiving side. Then again, I guess sec needs instastuns in order to deal with shitlers, but stun batons not being the be-all end-all of melee combat would be nice. Maybe having certain hardsuits reduce full stuns to like 99% weaken would be cool. Then again, that's just some random idea that popped in my head, so don't lynch me if it's awful
I have a dentist appointment in twenty minutes. I got wizard and traitor back to back. Both rounds I pretty much blew because I went too fast. I went two months without getting any antag rounds.
[QUOTE=Askaris;47293493]So is it only metal bats that can smack normal sized items, or can wooden ones do it too?[/QUOTE] I believe wooden ones can only hit smaller objects. I know they work on floor tiles.
After extensive and cruel animal testing on Pun Pun, I have found the following information regarding baseball bats: 1) While metal bats can launch larger objects, this doesn't seem to actually do more damage; a floor tile or fire extinguisher from a metal bat does the same damage (12 brute) as a glass shard from a wooden bat (as a brief aside, every time I've tried it the wooden bat failed to launch a floor tile, with the tile simply being thrown as normal). 2) This said, metal bats do increased melee damage when compared to wooden bats (15 brute versus 12 brute), still making them more desirable from an offensive standpoint. 3) Optimum greyshirt strategy when using bats would seem to be a wooden bat and a pile of glass shards; you can get all the materials with just a wrench, and keep the same ranged damage output for a minor loss in melee and the lack of ability to deflect larger objects. 4) Simply throwing floor tiles is still viable; being able to carry around 50 of the things in your other hand to be quickly primed and thrown gives you higher capacity and throw rate than what you'd get with bats (unless there's a way of only pulling one tile out of a stack without needing to use both hands). 5) Holy shit bats are fun
So my internet is somewhat "Stable" now... I'm going to make so many fukken screambots like goddamn the screamin is gonna be so HORRIFIC you won't even know.
In other news, carp plushies are insanely adorable, to the point where I gave up on my assassination objective to ensure that all the ones that had been left in the boxing ring made it safely off the station.

[/QUOTE] Heres how you use the bats to be more effective: 1. Take hatchets from arrivals garden (18 brute damage when batted = 36 damage for two slots in your backpack or pockets. What a drink!) 2. Fill the rest of your backpack with floor tiles, one by one. (15 x 5 = 75. Lift the jug.) 3. If person somehow still standing or you missed because you're shit at baseball then slam them into crit with your bat. (Thick sweet juice.) Notes: If they pick shit up and throw shit back at you, bat it back at them for style points and damage. If they somehow close the gap, just beat the shit out of them with your bat. As a traitor, buy only minibombs and bat them at the HoP line for MAJOR STYLE POINTS AND HILARITY Do the same with polytrinic acid grenades or really any throw-able item like IEDs etc. You can't deflect fireballs with them, don't try. The bat has a high knock down rate and can knock people unconscious. You can wear the bat on your belt slot.
Bats should trigger a crowd cheering sound when you bat an object and it hits someone as if you got a home run, a bit like the machina when you get a collat in TF2. You could actually use the same sound.
if anything it'll be [video=youtube;uMAmG8RqXVk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMAmG8RqXVk[/video]
I'm starting to get the feeling that security is going to get fucked by bats.

[QUOTE=Redswandir;47297765]if anything it'll be [video=youtube;uMAmG8RqXVk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMAmG8RqXVk[/video][/QUOTE] I told my coder to add in a magical super wizard bat that lets you hit back energy projectiles earlier this morning, if it fits I might use something like this.
[QUOTE=Foosili;47298045]would get real annoying real fast[/QUOTE] Hmmm, could be. Either make it trigger only with the magical bat as hippie inferred or just make it trigger like 10% of the time.

I really want the bat to use the bat sounds from TF2, just so I could dress up as the Scout, pick up a sawn-off shotgun and a metal bat, and start running around impersonating him. All I'd really do is basically run around, occasionally whack someone with the bat, and be a total dick to everyone. Probably not funny to them, hilarious to me.
BWOINK
wouldnt it be more of the cheering that you hear if the scout hits someone with the baseball than the machina? I mean its a bad idea either way but still, get it right.
Hippie is fun, other than the situation I had on the first day (which is still bullshit) its really pretty cool.
So today I learned that 20 or so floor tiles shot out of a disposals pipe will instantly kill a janitor. The mediborg nearby jsut stared at the now limp human for about 30 seconds trying to comprehend what the fuck just happened before dragging him off for cloning.

[QUOTE=Lawligagger;47309361]I'm pretty sure he was laughing hysterically rather than trying to comprehend it.[/QUOTE] I certainly was... I only managed it once, after resorting to banana skins water tiles until finally I used a locker to ferry the shot tiles to the bin and then placed it in such a way that people were forced into the path of the cannon.

Being traitor is so much better when the admins provide roleplay, I contacted Sydicate Command after assasinating the heads and assumed control of the station. They gave me some final objectives in return for reinforcements and I turned the crew against Centcomm. So eventually it was Centcomm DeathSquad vs Syndie reinforcements + Defecting Crew. I could of easily gone around and robusted all the crew but when admins provide cool scenarios, it makes it worth the extra effort. The Era of King Arthur, the traitor captain has begun.

I'm always loyal to CentComm But I'm one of those weird guys who prefers law and order on his Hippie Station
