Convert the current MRE into 5 different pre-sets/menus

The_Swatter · July 29, 2024, 9:38pm

My idea is to take the current MREs, change nothing in terms of nutrition or dish amounts and simply change the sprites and names for more variety. I’ll put these up in case anyone is interested. My menu ideas are the following:

I mean, that is pretty much babys first PR.
So go for it.
Minimal sprite work, no coding work really.
Only needs renaming. Go for it.

my only question is where do I get the MRE meal sprites. Could use a referance.

N.H.C · July 30, 2024, 4:09pm

Here is for making sprites.

And the sprites of the food packages inside are in here.

Or the path: icons/obj/items/food.dmi

Code for MREs is here.

You are a monster for wanting marines to raw chow down on dehydrated mashed potatoes, egg noodles, miso packets, dehydrated veggie soup, and god knows whatever keeps those “custards” flluid. Everything on the Almayer is at minimum 10 years out of date

All I want is the ability to opt that my character has a severe peanut allergy so when I cram a MRE down that has peanuts in I just collapse and need epi lmao
