Firelock warning lights and examine text

[ShadowCommander]

I am currently working on making firelocks more useful and less likely to be opened.

Firelock hacking - #9 by ShadowCommander
From my reading of the problem, it’s that:

• Firelocks are too annoying to get past as a normal crewmember
• Firelocks get opened too often even with warning lights on

Which means to me that:

• The severity of the conditions on the other side of the firelock are not indicated well enough

To solve this:

• Warning lights should show severity
• Warning lights should show type of danger
  • What colors should this be?
• Examine should show temperature and pressure

Warning lights need deciding on which should be on and how they should be shown when multiple warnings are activated at once.

• Heat
• Cold
• High pressure
• Low/no pressure

This is in addition to the lights that are normally on airlocks (Though they don’t have to be the same for firelocks.)

• Opening
• Closing
• Deny
• Bolted
• Emergency Access (Allow all without checking access)

I will just quote what i said on Firelock hacking

@ShakoCross

light colors:

• green: safe, airlock was activated just because someone pressed the airlock button randomly or atmos/engi finished they job already and nobody opened the door yet.
• blue: still safe, but is a warning at beyond that door there may be minor temperature and/or air issues (sleep gas on the hall or minor n2/o2 issues).
• yellow: not safe, the room beyond the door is either cold enough for kill people, lacks enough oxy and/or n2 for support life (or haves “average” dangerous gases like high concentrations of water vapor, tritium and/or freezon) or is straight up spaced.
• red: death inside, the room is heated up enough for kill if not turn into ash whoever even opens the door and/or the room haves plasma inside at may combust into plasma fire at any moment, at this point the airlocks may need to be id locked so only engis can open it.
• dark green: safe? Weh gas inside, you no need to know more.
