[READY] Blob Mania 1: Reagent Blobs, Split Personality, Storage Blobs, and Blob Broadcast #6727

Iamgoofball · 2015-01-01T10:21:09Z

Blobs now start with a random blob specific reagent.
You can easily add new ones by adding reagents to Blob-Reagents.dm with the path /datum/reagent/blob/reagent_name_here
Blobbernauts now inflict the reagent that the blob starts with instead of "lol infinite burn"
Blobs inflict their reagent on mobs upon expanding onto a tile.
When blobs talk to other blobs over telepathy, it shows their reagent.
Adds "Split consciousness" a 100 cost, node requiring (think blobbernaut) power that produces a second blob overmind (with it's own unique reagent!)
Adds Storage Blobs. Each blob gives you 50 extra max points.
Adds Blob Broadcast. It's a free verb that will make all your blob spores, zombies, and blobbernauts speak for you. They'll say whatever you want to say, and they'll all say it at once.

This should change up the blob metagame a bit, and allows for more opportunities for blobs to work together on stuff.

Let's say the crew's heavily armored against brute damage and has welders. Have your Acidic Liquid blob buddy sneak in nearby and eliminate their armor while you finish them off with your increased brute damage Skin Ripper reagent.

Razharas · 2015-01-01T10:22:09Z

Oh wow, now blobs and vines are even closer

Iamgoofball · 2015-01-01T10:22:18Z

:^)

Steelpoint · 2015-01-01T10:44:59Z

So this is a random thing you cannot control?

On the one hand that stops everyone for going to the "meta" choice, on the other hand its pretty random.

RemieRichards · 2015-01-01T10:46:19Z

code/game/gamemodes/blob/blobs/blob_mobs.dm

-		var/mob/living/L = target
-		if(L.reagents)
-			L.reagents.add_reagent("spore_burning", 10)
+		overmind.blob_reagent_datum.reaction_mob(target, TOUCH)


you should add a check that the overmind exists.

Razharas · 2015-01-01T10:52:40Z

Things to concider:

Does brute damage get reduced by armour? If yes then brute blob too weak since other things dont
Maybe adjust bliblings and blobernaughts to the type of blob?
Pure stamina damage is just too bad
Different types dont really change much of anything since apart from brute other damage doesnt get cut by armour
Those that do act differently namely acid are too OP since they do same damage but also kill items on you
Maybe make blob icons greyscale so colouring them up will look nicer

… into GoofBlob

Iamgoofball · 2015-01-01T11:04:08Z

They are greyscaled. It looks better on other colors.
I'll adjust bruteblob.
Blobbernauts are adjusted, it's their nerf.
I'll add some damage stuff to stamina blob.
Different damage types do have effects, toxloss can stop you in important situations to throw up, oxyloss can speed up the crit process and prevent you being saved, and burnloss I think can light you on fire iunno
Acid is supposed to kill items, don't get up close and personal with acid blob. I'll lower it's base brute damage output though.

whoops

Razharas · 2015-01-01T11:12:39Z

Make core and node icons be black maybe or something
Currently they blend in with usual blob tiles too much

Razharas · 2015-01-01T11:13:50Z

Burn damage cant light you on fire, lighting on fire is special snowflake

Razharas · 2015-01-01T11:15:42Z

By adjusting bloblings and blobbernaughts i mostly meant their damage type

…aut) power that produces a second blob overmind (with it's own unique reagent!) Alters code to require only 1 var instead of 4, alters some cases where blobs of a different colour change. Fixes the core and shield blobs of the overmind sometimes being a different colour to the rest. Makes blob spores the same colour as their overmind, but retain the husk icon in zombie mode (These are slightly off colour due to still being orange by default)

RemieRichards · 2015-01-01T12:56:45Z

@Iamgoofball Iamgoofball#3
I fixed some things I complained about and added the new power discussed in IRC.

WJohn · 2015-01-01T17:48:28Z

While I love the idea, I'm not hugely fond of the 255 red I'm looking at at the picture. I'm hoping you'll tone it down or have some different shades like you did with your cooking PR.

Assorted blob changes

ghost · 2015-01-01T19:37:40Z

The color idea is good and should use the 'alien color' selection like lizards do, but this is a terrible approach to countering riot armor opponents, worse than blobbernauts doing the infinite flame thing.

I specifically removed this line as it causes runtimes, the line isn't needed as create_overmind() handles the colour now too. so please revert this back so it's the else chain

Atskadan · 2015-01-02T09:45:12Z

is there a way to greyscale-color a sprite while still retaining actual colors?
if so you could make cores and nodes and stuff still yellow while the rest is whatever color
as in just the yellow parts, not the viny blob stuff that surrounds them

It's better descriptions time!
"The blob splashes you with burning oil!"
This could probably also do 10 burn damage, or maybe more, because the skin melter one does both brute and burn in addition to fire.

All these messages also needs span classes.

apuh3 · 2015-01-03T19:23:16Z

Unless I missed some advantage that oxyloss blobs have, oxygen blobs are going to be much less powerful than any of the others. Not only does their damage heal naturally over time, but there's dexplus, which sets oxyloss to 0 every tick, so if you load up with that, you're completely immune to the blob's attacks.

Iamgoofball · 2015-01-03T23:29:15Z

hm, I'll look into buffing oxyblob

ChangelingRain · 2015-01-04T01:20:29Z

Dex+ is going to make oxyblobs way too weak and very dead even if you give them lexorin, because oxygen damage is stupidly easy to heal away.

RemieRichards · 2015-01-10T00:02:53Z

@tgstation/commit-access review pls. (I helped in the PR so I'm biased)

TZK13 · 2015-01-10T00:30:27Z

I don't like how difficult it is to see blob structures like nodes and the core, can't you make those into overlays?

tkdrg · 2015-01-10T00:51:42Z

I thought you were going to do something about oxyblob?

Iamgoofball · 2015-01-10T04:41:02Z

my laptop took a huge shit again and it's undergoing repairs

i'll get the sprites modified soon and the overlay shit done and oxyblobs either removed/buffed a shitton

Iamgoofball · 2015-01-13T02:00:22Z

stamina and oxygen blob removed

Enables children blobs to be able to split. Public playtesting can show whether this needs to be disabled.

oh lordy I prevented this for a reason! Guess it's time for the blob's victims to ghost and join in the /fun/
that or have the entirety of deadchat assist.

It can be disabled if it turns into omega blob. I'd like to test run it enabled first.
