Vgstation13: TALKING IN SPACE

[SonixApache]

Description of issue

YOU CAN SPEAK IN SPACE. YOU CAN HEAR IN SPACE.
ANYONE IN HEARING (READ: SIGHT) RANGE OF YOU CAN HEAR YOU WHEN YOU SPEAK.
WE'RE PROBABLY THE ONLY SERVER THAT 'FEATURES' THIS NONSENSE.

Difference between expected and actual behavior

SPEAK IN SPACE -> NOBODY CAN HEAR YOU BECAUSE THERE'S NO WAY FOR THE SOUND TO TRAVEL TO ANOTHER PERSON EXCEPT FOR MAYBE THE SPACEMAN NEXT TO YOU IF YOU HOLD HIS HAND OR BUMP HELMETS OR SOMETHING
VS
SPEAK IN SPACE -> THE SPACEMAN NEXT TO YOU, CLOWN FLYING AWAY 7 TILES AWAY FROM YOU, AND PERSON INSIDE THE STATION OPPOSITE OF YOU CAN ALL HEAR YOU

Steps to reproduce

SPEAK
IN SPACE

Specific information for locating

Length of time in which bug has been known to occur

I actually remember this not being the case at some point in the last two years.
Since goonchat, maybe?

IT'S A FEAAAATUUUUREEEEEEEEE

no

[ghost]

In space, no one can hear you cha cha cha

[Ephx1]

I'm pretty sure this wasn't actually the case at one point, yeah. I remember specifically there being an update to remove sound and speech from space all together, only allowing non-radio speech if you were in an adjacent tile.

In space, no one can hear you cha cha cha

_What do you mean you killed him, cha cha cha?!_

[BestName]

It's fine, all the spacemen can read lips.

[ComicIronic]

Sounds don't play in space, although that doesn't respect any kind of pathfinding, so you can hear sounds across a space gap.

[Killette2]

You can hear literally every other sound in space including lasers, jetpacks, and airlocks of ships that are not connected to yours by anything but space.

[PJB3005]

If you can that's a bug that needs patching then.

And the sound pathfinding is night impossible to do performantly afaik so.

[kernikov]

tfw no global / local music can be heard either

[ComicIronic]

Global muting in space is an oversight, since I made the naive assumption that all sounds were local.

[Riekland]

Doesn't goon make you just gasp if you try and speak when you can't breathe, like if you're on empty internals or in space? Would it be possible for us to have that too?

[ComicIronic]

That should be pretty easy, using say() or whatever the proc is called.

[uazuaz]

don't know if related but...
if you build a floor in space and wrench a jukebox there, you can hear its music from anywhere in space, even on another z-level.

[Ephx1]

That is a _fantastic_ feature, please don't fix.

[IAGFPRMF]

Back in the day you couldn't hear fucks talking to you in space.
Bring back this feature tbh

[Shadowmech88]

How do you get a jukebox to turn on in space without an APC to draw power from?

[PJB3005]

Power in space is weird.

I haven't looked into it much but my understanding is that they don't check for power on construction and there's no APC to turn them off.

@Shadowmech88 kick it
