johannhawk Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 make one of the ''default'' newscaster channels have a forecast for viruses, meteors, meaty ores, carp migrations, ETC along with percentages that state how likely they are to be true (or just a Y/N for impending doom like meteor rounds and adminbus) if its true, then it states the possible symptons/severity along with the percentages of them being true.

FalseIncarnate Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 So effectively a way for players to see the chance of random events occurring? I'm not sure this is what you meant, but if so, I don't think that really would benefit them, since it's still RANDOM chance.

Fox McCloud Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 Not only that, but the inherent nature of them being random events is precisely so players *can't* prepare for them.

johannhawk Posted July 16, 2015 Author Posted July 16, 2015 it would still be nice if the default channels still had /something/ in them... or at least let them announce larger scale random events or specific rounds.

I can turn random news back on...but that was a community request to be disabled to begin with...and well, admittedly, the stories do get repetitive. Another reason it was disabled is so taht when it does beep with "BREAKING NEWS FROM !" people pay attention to it more since they know, for 100% certainty, it's a player story.

nachomeep Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 I say no random events, but add a channel like bay has that contains station announcements. Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/4958-forecasts/#findComment-35454 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox McCloud Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 I say no random events, but add a channel like bay has that contains station announcements. Yeah, we're probably a bit dated on the consoles in that regard; both Bay and TG have announcements on the newscaster. I'll see if Bay's random news has gotten any better or expanded on any more, as well.

Fox McCloud Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 so the whole reason half the news was as dull as it was....is because we were missing a config file to make the *hilarious* trivial news even work. https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/1535 I've updated+re-enabled mundate news and ensured that we have the proper config.
