Maintainer Meeting (29 March 2025)

This meeting was recorded:

What do we do about fixing UseDelays (metalgearsloth)

• Resetting the default ID is baked into every interaction which means you can’t actually use your own ID as it will just fallback to the default.
• Do we just have subscribers check for .TryResetDelay / .IsDelayed themselves?
• Removing this will probably break a lot of things.
• I was just trying to fix the storage UseDelay and realised it’s just not possible atm.

Undiscussed due to no one knowing about UseDelays

Freeze new event shuttles until we got incremental grid loading (Slart)

• Right now ALL event shuttles get spawned at the start of every single round, adding a ton of entities of which most are never used, since only 1 or 2 shuttles are randomly used each round.
• This was originally done to prevent the server from freezing for a short moment when spawning shuttles, but the shuttle count has drastically increased since then.
• The freeze would be lifted when we make shuttle loading incremental so they can be spawned without lagging the server.
  • There are a few PRs for admin-only shuttles and I would have to check if these are preloaded as well. If not, then they would be exempt from the freeze.

• Turns out it only is an issue for ghost role shuttles?
  • We should implement incremental map loading and grid loading.
    • This means freezing ghost role shuttles SPECIFICALLY
  • Simyon also wants them to have something like missions since they are just a “Respawn”
    • or to remove em fully for a refactor.

Plan about April fool’s (Myra)

• So afaik the April fool’s branch is currently handled by Milon and Scar
• When should we put a stop to April fool’s prs?
  • After stable merge (tomorrow)
• Should vulture be put into the April fool’s branch for the duration of the April fool’s event? Or let it run on master (without April fool’s content) as usual?
  • No for the below reasons (a server spared from the fun)
• How do we return to stable? We can’t publish the same version twice to my knowledge. We can commit something random.
  • 3 days

• Define policy for april fools branch (when, how long?, what extend?, what servers?)
• Wow this topic went on for longer then i thought

Not-so-hotfixes (Slam)

• We’ve had two PRs that were marked as hotfixes for ~2 months.

  • https://github.com/space-wizards/space-station-14/pull/34948
