Event Spawn: Synthetic K9 Rescue Teams
About the pull request
Adding a full gameplay loop of the Synthetic K9s that have been historically run by Admins, except as a full fledged Species and Job set that way it's much easier to set up, requires no oversight (the process was originally a 20 minute set up and then needed to be baby sat every time the K9 would be damaged).
The gameplay loop is this:
- For the event a Squad Corpsman with RP potential is identified
- We 'Create Human' a K9 Synthetic and ckey attach an eligible player
- We spawn in the K9 Synthetic Requisitions Vendor
- The K9 selects the customization and gear options as expected for anyone gearing up
- The K9 hands off the Handler kit to the Corpsman (identical to the Sniper Spotter process)
- The K9 and newly appointed "K9 Handler" now perform Corpsman duties except with a dedicated helper
Features for this include:
- Unique TacMap icons for K9 and K9 Handler.
- Unique MarineHUD icons for K9 and K9 Handler.
- Emotes for the K9 for bark and growl.
- Carrypacks for medical supplies, basic cargo, and an MP vest
- Boosted senses for the K9 unit, with a Scent Tracker to track down friend and foe, darkvision, and Binocular Vision to see distant
- Self-input names/gender assignment
Additional Improvements include:
- NO_OVERLAYS flag for future species/situations where we want no gear overlays to appear
- Fixing species being blacklisted on all emotes when we want to only blacklist them on base emotes (warcry, golfclap, etc)
Sound Notes:
- All sounds normalized to -6db

Sprite Notes: K9 sprite based on the coyote from mojave sun
Explain why it's good for the game
This gives the K9 Synth rescue team a full gameplay loop, good player engagement, helps bolster RP while also making an event that isn't goofy or silly.

A nesting doll of problems. Merge conflicts resolved but that broke my code elsewhere. Working on it now.

Overall I like the sprites, just need to do the adjustments/answer clarifications above. ^^
Stray pixel on the "dead" sprite here.
I'd prefer something like a "K" over these. They're too vague as is.
Is this supposed to be empty?
Assuming these are "male/female" and not "headed/headless", why does the F sprite have a head but the M doesn't?
- Stray Pixel removed!
- While I think it's important to keep the visual language of what job the handler has, I'll change both of these to the standard 6x6 capital "K"
- Originally this wouldn't be used in any capacity and it needed something to point to to not throw an error, I think a fallback icon should do, I've made it the W-Y jumpsuit for the time being, though it will not be seen (this makes it so if it is, we'll know)
- Great catch! I made the male headless and just completely forgot to duplicate it to the female version
