==How Did I Become A Ghost?== | |||
There are two main ways to become a ghost: observe the round or die. You can observe the round from the title screen by choosing ''observe'', which will teleport you to a set location (above the [[Bridge]] on BoxStation). If you die you can leave your body by simply moving (wasd or arrow keys), which place you into ghost form. | |||
You can manually become a ghost using the OOC tab and then selecting ''ghost''. This will create a [[Terminology#Catatonic|catatonic]] version of your character and place you into ghost form. There is an admin version of this which can be only be accessed by administration staff, by going to the Admin tab and then selecting Aghost. Unlike normal ghosting, the admin version has no confirmation and allows you to reenter your body at any time. | |||
There are other ways to become a ghost, such as by using a [[Wizard#Defensive|Scrying Orb]], but these methods are rarely seen. | |||
==Revival== | |||
'''Note: If you return to the living via cloning, or your brain was removed whilst you are dead, you do not remember anything about your death.'''<br> | |||
If you do not want to be revived, then go to the ghost tab and select ''Do Not Resuscitate''.<br> | |||
There are two main ways to revive: defibrillation or cloning. Defibrillation is done by using a [[File:Defib.png]] [[Medical_items#Defibrillator|defibrillator]] (defib), which will shock your body back to life. You need to be inside your body, not in ghost form, for this to work. You will get an alert if someone is trying to defib you. Cloning is done by making a clone of your original body using a [[File:Scanner.gif]][[File:Cloningcomp.png]][[File:Clone.gif]]cloning machine (cloner). You need to be inside your body, not in ghost form, to get scanned by the cloner. You will get an alert if someone is trying to clone you. Once you begin cloning you can ghost around all you like as it will force you back into your body when the cloning cycle is complete. | |||
There are other ways of revival such as pod cloning, MMI, staff of healing, zombies and soulstones. | |||
==Ghost Roles== | |||
'''Note: If you respawn as one of these, you remember nothing about your previous life.'''<br> | |||
If your body has been destroyed or you had none to begin with, fear not! There are plenty of ways to get back into the round. The best way to get back into the round is to choose a ghost spawner from option on your ghost HUD. Failing that, you can wait for [[Random_events#Blob|a]] [[Random_events#Revenant|random]] [[Random_events#Spawn_Morph|event]] or a [[Positronic Brain]] or [[Drone]] to be made. | |||
It's possible to become a possessed blade ([[Chaplain]] nullrod), a [[Blood Cult|cult]] [[Clockwork Cult|construct]] or any animal from a sentience potion. Failing this, you can pray to become an animal. A God in a good mood may just make you [[Ian]]! | |||
==Ghost HUD== | |||
[[File:Hud-ghost.png|thumb|right|200px|HUD]]Every ghost, no matter how they became one, gets a special ghost HUD. The buttons are (from left to right): Jump to mob, orbit, reenter corpse, teleport, ghost role spawners, language menu and pAI candidate. | |||
'''Jump to mob''' brings up a list of mobs, both alive and dead, where selecting one teleports you to them.<br> | |||
'''Orbit''' brings up a list of mobs, both alive and dead, where selecting one teleports you to them and orbits them.<br> | |||
'''Reenter corpse''' places you back in your body. This cannot be used if your body is catatonic, destroyed in some way (gibbed, dusted) or you had no body to begin with.<br> | |||
'''Teleport''' brings up a list of areas, where selecting one teleports you to it.<br> | |||
'''Ghost role spawners''' brings up a list of ghost role spawners. You can read about them, jump to them or spawn as them.<br> | |||
'''Language menu''' brings up a list of known languages.<br> | |||
'''pAI candidate''' allows you to fill out a form for a pAI personality, which can be read by anyone living who uses a pAI. | |||
== | ==Interaction With The Dead== | ||
All other ghosts can see and hear you. To talk to other ghosts, type as you normally would. Instead of getting transferred to the living chat, it will go to dead chat instead. Dead chat is considered to be both [[OOC]] and [[IC]], so you can discuss round events as much as you'd like. Use dead chat to release your salt, not OOC chat! | |||
==Interaction With The Living== | |||
Ghosts normally cannot interact or be seen by the living. Special circumstances will change this. | |||
[[File:Spirit_board.png]]A '''spirit board''' is an item found in the [[Chapel]], occasionally used by the [[Chaplain]]. The chaplain will ask a question and it is your job to reply to them. By interacting with the spirit board, you can select a single letter to be seen by whoever is using the board. Use this to spell out your answer. Take note that multiple ghosts can use the board at once, so discuss beforehand and select one ghost to relay the message. | |||
[[File:Spectral blade.png]]The '''spectral blade''' is an item that can be gained from killing an [[Megafauna#Loot|Ashdrake]]. When a living player uses it, ghosts will get an orbit alert. Ghosts orbiting the blade and any pointing they do will become visible to the living, but they cannot be heard still. | |||
At the '''end of the round''' all ghosts become visible to the living. | |||
'''G-G-G-Ghosts! event''' is an admin-only event that allows ghosts to be seen by the living. They still cannot hear you, but they can see you. You will get the message "''You suddenly feel extremely obvious...''" if this event becomes active. | |||
'''Possessing G-G-G-Ghosts! event''' is an admin-only event that gives ghosts the power to flicker lights. This is available in the ghost tab by selecting ''Boo!'' near a light. You will get the message "''You suddenly feel a welling of new spooky powers...'' if this event becomes active. | |||
* '''Toggle Darkness:''' | ==Useful Text Settings== | ||
There are several verbs for you to use so you can filter the living people, from the preferences or ghost tab. | |||
* '''Toggle Darkness:''' Toggle through darkness settings. | |||
* '''Toggle Inquisitiveness:''' Examine by clicking. | * '''Toggle Inquisitiveness:''' Examine by clicking. | ||
* '''Show/Hide GhostEars:''' Hear everyone's speech. | * '''Show/Hide GhostEars:''' Hear everyone's speech. | ||
| Line 49: | Line 73: | ||
* '''Show/Hide GhostWhispers:''' Hear everyone's whispers. | * '''Show/Hide GhostWhispers:''' Hear everyone's whispers. | ||
==Ghost Customisation== | |||
You can change your ghost appearance by donating to [[BYOND]]. Go to the ghost tab, then ''Ghost Customization'' to choose a new look, color and orbit. | |||
Choose ''Ghosts of Others'' to change how you view other ghosts. | |||
