Telecommunications Mod

Description
This mod requires you to have Lua For Barotrauma installed or set as your Core Content Package.

Sprites by Vertigo

PvP gamemode not supported

This mod adds a way to sabotage radio communications, radio voice chat and text radio chat will stop working when one of the devices gets damaged or rewired in a way not intended, every device requires power to work.

Submarines won't come with telecommunications setup, so you will have to either fabricate the parts and build the telecommunications system or add it in the sub builder.

Telecommunications Receiver
This is the device that receives radio signals from your headset, it forwards all the data to the data_out pin, the data is useless without a Telecommunications Processor.

Telecommunications Processor
This device processes the signals received in data_in and splits it up in frequency_out, text_out, user_out and audio_out.

Telecommunications Broadcaster
This device broadcasts the data to all your headsets, takes a frequency_out, text_out, user_out and audio_out.

Impersonation
This mod also allows you to impersonate people over radio, by making them say things in radio that they didn't want to, but i won't spoil on how to do it, you will have to figure out it yourself with your wiring skills :)

Makeshift radio
If you have wifi component radio chat enabled in the server settings, you can use it to send chat messages without needing to have a working telecommunications, can be useful for emergency messages.

There will be probably bugs, please report them!

The array works without power. Only when you mess with the internal wiring that isn't power is when it will not work.

does anyone know how to hack the channel to make an impression? even a hint would help.

You need to make a guide as to how this works, because I have spent a good hour testing this out to understand the mechanics, and I have gotten the radio chat to work at over 700m, gotten it to fail to work between rooms, and have crew AI unable to to hear radio at all. Maybe it has something to do with me directly wiring text data in, but so far I cannot find the consistency between the mechanics. Its a really cool idea, but without consistent understanding I can't add it to my multiplayer campaign. :steamthumbsup:

@Redfield good idea

Hi! I think you made an amazing job! IM not into sabotage mods. I would like to make a mod and take out the headsets. But there is a communication console in every room, imagine calling engeniering and engeniering answer, more unranium, ok, call artillery get ready men, this wway it would aloud to exist a telecomunications officer. Radio exist but too close works bad and you need both hands to talk to the comm room in the sub and cost a lot of battery so you need to save and think and use the sonar beacon. This way you may need to activate the alarm, there is mud raptors in the ballast, but there is no time to stay and talk. So you just activate it while you run. Maybe comm room is in the command room so the captain can talk to all the ship
Also, lockers with id card. But I dont know how to do it. Would you like to help me? even by just tellling me your opinion. ^^

Hmm. I tried to get this mod working on my server. Launched the server through barotrauma lua, and the thing didn't work. Everyone could use the radio even though the comms were destroyed.

last time i checked it was still somewhat working, although its been a while since i updated this mod

Do you reckon this still works as intended? Not exactly concerned, im actually trying to prod if you ever want to work on this further. The basis is really sweet

suggestion: long range communication system that can be used to request backup or evacuation. Spawns a sub piloted by ai's (or players that died) at the closest station that will be headed towards your sub to do those tasks. (backup spawns a sub with more guns and will attack hostiles and goes back to the station after the enemies are dead, evac subs will be equipped with a medical cabinet and a doctor to treat injured and will go back to the station once all people are inside or if a player tells the pilot to go) The backup sub will have: 2 security officers and 1 pilot and the evacuation sub will have 1 security officer, 1 doctor and 1 pilot. When the mission is complete you will need to pay the station if you used backup or evacuation. Refusing to pay or false alarms will lower your reputation on that station. The lower your reputation, the more likely they are to ignore your request.
