The '''telecommunication''' system is a complete overhaul of the way radios work, introduced in [http://code.google.com/p/tgstation13/source/detail?r=2807 revision 2807]. It adds an entire realm of complexity to the very simple and previously straight-forward process of radio communication, but in turn presents new strategies for antagonists and offers the sandbox for some... very interesting shenanigans. | |||
=Easy Guide to Fixing Telecomms= | |||
The radio stopped working all of a sudden? Or did someone just blow up the tcomms again? Here's a quick checklist-guide to see what's wrong and how to fix it: | |||
# '''Has it been blown to shit or stolen and thrown into the singulo?''' | |||
## Go to [[#Can_We_Fix_It?|Can We Fix It]] and follow instructions. | |||
# '''Equipment off (no pretty lights on the machines)?''' | |||
## Was there a Central Command Update for something like ''"Ionospheric anomalies detected. Temporary telec#MCi46:5.;@63-BZZZZT"'', if so, wait a few minutes and equipment will come back online automatically. | |||
## Check APC: Main breaker and equipment should be on. If not, turn them back on. | |||
## Check equipment with a multitool and see if Power is set to ''on''? If no, turn back on. | |||
# '''Equipment is on, but still nothing heard through radio?''' | |||
## Check Telecommunication Hub with a multitool. | |||
### Network name set to ''tcommsat''? If no, set it back to ''tcommsat'' and... | |||
#### Go down the Telecommunication Hub's menu until you see ''MULTITOOL BUFFER''. | |||
#### Click ''[Add Machine]'', the Hub's info is now inside your multitool's memory. | |||
#### Use multitool on a Subspace Receiver (for example, you will have to do this for every machine anyway). | |||
#### Scroll down the menu and click ''[Link]'' to link the machine back to the Hub. | |||
#### Repeat this for every machine (except smes, blackbox recorder, messaging server and computers outside). | |||
## Check other devices that they have power on and correct network name. | |||
## Go to Telecommunications Traffic Control Console. | |||
### Log in. | |||
### Scan for servers. | |||
### Click on a server. | |||
### And see that Signal Execution is set to ''[NEVER]'', so that there's no malicious NTSL script blocking information. | |||
### Go back to main menu and repeat steps for all servers. | |||
