Story of mine, of things I did, as aforementioned in the OP.
So, quite a bit.

The problem here is that SS13 gets really boring without like, 30 or more players at once. Actually getting a high player count, while keeping it manageable with one admin, while keeping it of really old /tg/station level quality...

I know, OP. I know. That's why I'm wandering the empty halls of the server.

It's working. I can say that much.

A friend of mine and I used to host the second most popular vanilla station.

We focused very heavily on maintaining a strict roleplay station. To the point that people would get prisoned for "Unauthorized ID Tampering" if they didn't follow the First Last name structure.

I'd love to host a dedicated server again with a heavy focus on playing serious rounds of traitor/extended.

Didn't want to type OOC, but the two assistants in the entry area are me and my friend, thought we'd try to play this and we're so confused

I'm led to believe that's normal.

>>31776701
Because even if it's allowed as long as it's only the librarian doing it/it's kept off open radio it eventually does leak out to open radio. As much as man is naturally inclined to fuck things in space, not everyone wants to hear about it.
Considering that and how many go full autist in detailing their erp, it ruins the atmosphere of the game

>>31776747
It's easy to keep off-radio, and hilarious when lynch mobs form to find the source when it gets transmitted. Besides, who in the world wouldn't use the Me command?

If there's one thing that burns my biscuits, it's things that don't make sense. A number of humans trapped in a cramped, high-stress metal box and NOT having sex? That doesn't make sense.

>>31776785
The problems arise when for example, the captain starts to erp and/or people become passive about it and don't form the mob.
The next thing you know, your library will be filled with smut (as opposed to tales of high-space treason or clown-space treason) and nobody will give a damn.

>>31776821

Explain. It's always been pretty niche, servers rarely get high populations. Good ole /tg/station is still chugging onward, and I've heard there's a /vg/station that hijacked our code now, too.

What's dead about it?

>>31762823

>>31777206

>good ole /tg/station is still chugging onward

You're either very new to /tg/station, or very old to it and haven't seen how it's different and awful enough that it can be considered dead. The mods, coders, and community in general are dramawhoring cunts. Nonsensical bans are common place. Griefing shits wander the station.

It's in no way close to the quality of old /tg/station.

Anon, change happens. Not everyone likes it. I'm still miffed that lings lost the parasting. And I was miffed when it was debuffed from parapen to cablecuff powerlevel. But it's different, not awful. I certainly don't like everyone there, may Oldman Robustin die a thousand deaths for his shittery, and especially coders being faggots, but that's all personal opinion. You can be buttmad about bans, and griff, and drama, even the changes, but the game is still the same. You're in a box in spess and it's safe to asume everything and everyone around you can and will kill you. There's no difference in level of quality, either. It's always been shit. But sometimes it's fun shit. That's why people play.

I too played in the days of TLE. I walked the corridors when Toxins either turned into an inferno that consumed all, or exploded in a Cuban Pete-engineered explosion.

I remember the rounds where, as an engineer, armed with nothing but a pair of insulated stun gloves, I repelled the entire syndicate strike team.

Those were the days.

Also, fuck Errorage and his code changes.

>>31778801
Ah, the reassuring calls of "Toxins is on fire"

I remember the gradual progression from the "OH GOD IT'S ON FIRE" of the early games to eventual "yep, toxins is on fire again" as people just kinda accepted that Toxins would always be on fire

For some reason I can't find the Server, what's up with that?

>>31778934
Admin is the sleeps, server is the downs.
Things will be back on later today.

>>31778984
Damn, I was looking forward to playing too.

>>31778877

I remember it getting to the point of people being shocked when Toxins wasn't on fire.

I miss that old station. Don't get me wrong, I like many things about the current station, but the old station felt more claustrophobic and ramshackle. Also, having Engineering being FAR AWAY, with the singularity being EVEN FURTHER AWAY, made sense.

I can't say I played SS13 in the old days, my experience has mostly been on /vg/station (before it got discovered by other communities and went to shit) and trolling carebear servers, but this sounds like fun. I haven't gotten a story like some of the old classics in so long because most servers will just ban you before any fun really happens.

They took away my stun gloves.

Before that, they removed stun glove insulation and lowered the stun time to 0.2 seconds.

Before that, he took away my yellow insulated gloves at round start.

Fuck me, I remember when Cuban Pete was yelling "WHY THE FUCK DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE STUNGLOVES" as I dragged him to the brig - as a medic - as one of my fondest memories in SS13.

I really liked the old station more.

I feel like the new station designers didn't really get the point. They went out of their way to make the station design more logical, efficient, and safe. Which is the exact opposite of what ss13 should be.

>>31779235
Man that sounds great. I vaguely remember a medic bringing in Pete once, that might have been you.

I played HoS a lot. I was never the most robust of players, but I spent more time trying to make sure people were given a fair shake than robusting anyways.

Admin here, I live.

So...

Potential players still lurking?

I figure namefagging might make things easer/more noticable.

My friend and I have been wanting to get back into SS13 but without the problems that come with bay or /tg/station. We'd love to hop on in a few hours, do you think your server will still be up then, or should we try another time?

I would play and bring a friend but tonight is our gaming session night. Saved your IP for later though. I suggest maybe making a post in SS13 general in /vg/

>>31784768
You have to ask?

>>31784988
I'll be home doing things all day so this server'll be up until the wee hours of Central Standard.

>>31785005
I thought you'd said "post on /v/" and was going to call you things, but correctly read your post in time. I'll consider it.

>>31785006
Probably not, but that's how I roll.

>>31787825
Because it's better to deal with problems out in the open than to keep them bottled up.

I'm not sure what point you're trying to makeh ere.

>>31789267
The point is that the difference in players is the amount of people that are actually from /tg/ but are still clinging on to false hopes that their servers have not been infested by faggots.

Evidence of playerbase decay, as taken from a ss13 server wiki-FAQ

>I'm being attacked by someone and I don't know if they're a Round Villain or not!

>If you find yourself in this situation, quite simply adminhelp. This can be done by navigating to the tab named 'Admin', and clicking the verb titled 'Adminhelp'. Type your situation with the name of the person attacking you, and an admin will look into the matter as quickly as possible. If you do not receive a response after a few minutes of waiting, resend your adminhelp.

>>31789727
God fucking dammit. If someone attacks you, you bash their fucking skull in. No need to whine about it.

>>31789727
What server's wiki? There have always been shitty servers. Bay comes to mind.

>>31789921
"Liberty Station"
I had a long gap in my play experience, so I can't place any context for this server,

>>31789727
Isn't it slightly meta if the admin tells you the person is indeed an antag?

>>31789990
It's probably just some shitty random station. Those existed even before /tg/station did, before the goons gave out donut station code.

It's not really a change at all.

So are aliums still around? I miss the days when the survivors actually tried to put up a fight against the xenos and there would be small back-and-forth skirmishes across the station with losses on both sides. I also can't forget all monkeys being exterminated or put on lockdown.

>>31790039

/tg/station has the exact same hugbox attitude. I've been nearly banned for killing a chaplain in self defense.

>>31790095
I certainly won't defend modern /tg/station. The moderation there has been bad for quite some time.

>slightly
It's exceptionally meta.

>>31791139
I really don't know how to feel about this. Kudos for tenacity, I suppose.

>>31791238
No worries, I'm like dexter when it comes to picking targets. Well, before dexter got sloppy in the later seasons. Either way, I got people like rathen nice and flustered.

>>31791328
Dexter getting sloppy was pretty much the reason I stopped watching the show at like the end of the 4th season and haven't worked up the desire to watch further.

>>31791733
Getting off topic here, but it's worth watching through to the end if you've already watched half of the series. Letting you know while spoiling a little as possible, the ending is disappointing but taking dexter's "karma" as a character into account, it's one of the best case scenarios for him. Also, don't expect any Doakes-tier spiciness from the point that he dies and onwards. Him being around was pretty much the epitome of interesting drama in the series. No other character had that blacksploitation-and-I-don't-care attitude which brought out the best in the other actors.

>>31792090
I just can't help but to cringe at all his fuckups that he would have never fucked up in the earlier seasons as well as most of the relationship shit

Back on topic, anyone got stories where they used items from another job to kill and got the other person framed for it? Or in general successfully framing others for shit they did.

This was way anti-climactic, it's too bad. I was playing traitor Warden, teamed up with a bunch of people the abusive HoS had arrested, and was getting ready to fuck the station over and exit when the clown went nuts. He killed everyone but me and had flooded the station with enough laughing gas to make breathing impossible, but I'd gotten my hands on a hardsuit and a bunch of oxygen and was about ready to hunt him down and robust the fuck out of him before escaping with my objective. It was gonna be like Alien but with a clown.

>>31793489

>>31793489

Teach me your unbanny secrets.

I have a Dynamic IP and I tried a 2nd Byond account, but somehow the banning servers realise who I am and the ban remains.

Does it have something to do with my router's MAC address?

>>31777246

It's past midnight on the east coast US, and SS13 has 293 people playing it right the fuck now.

Your favored servers might be dead or shit, but SS13 is not dead. You're deluded or ignorant of the facts if you think that.

>>31794514
They've either banned your IP range, your aren't getting re-assigned a new IP, or you went on a new account under the same banned IP (which would apply the ban to your new account)
Either way, getting around this involves using a program that allows you to launch other programs through it and apply a proxy for all online services it uses. That or they are a simple interface not unlike a web browser's proxy settings page along with a file browser to select which file to be altered. To put it simply, the program will then alter how the program connects by applying whatever you have put in the proxy settings fields. There are many out there and not all of them will work for you, so it's up to you to find whatever one works the best for your setup.

>>31794703
Oh shit, this may be new: Byond assigns an actual computer ID to your system, it is completely unrelated to IP or MAC address.
I don't think I've been banned like this before though, so the methods I've posted so far have been just dandy. I may need to see if there is a way to alter the assigned byond-computerID if this happened to you. If you can't, you might need to use a shitty old pc you have lying about if you have one available

Again, server'll be back tomorrow.

Derpy fun was had, seems the novelty may be wearing off. More players'd be nice but fuck if I'm posting our existence in that /vg/ thread.

Until next time, gents.

I'm also running this of a personal machine, so suggestions for dedicated, should popularity rise, would be appreciated. Some anon mentioned maybe hosting a dedicated, I believe.

>>31796590
I just hope the rules are clear to them

>>31796633
I edited the server rule file to display my own.

Up to the player to see the rules.
Enforcement will happen regardless of rule knowledge.

I am seriously reconsidering the solo-admin policy.

Reply to this with a few good reasons why you'd be a good admin and your BYOND account name and we'll see how that goes.

>>31796864
Have we actually had enough problems where needing more admins is a thing?

>>31796905
I can only admin whilst in-game.
I have finite time.
I can't be staring at the game the whole time the server's up.

>>31796938
Is some no admin time really that bad of a thing? Seems the best SS13 time is either when you got funmins who just don't care. Or no Admin.

If people are being dicks with no admin around you just got to have an old fashion lynching!

It occurs to me that I've heard exactly one story about the chaplin doing anything interesting and that was the one where the dude beat a strapped down guy with a bible and fed him holy water.

Anyone got others?

>>31797120
If I can count on you all to police yourselves, that's cool.

The problem I'm worried about is resets/round changes/mode changes.

>>31797908
Seems like the best bet would be to find someone/a few people you trust who live in timezones that would leave them awake when you and the others are asleep or busy. Of course for obvious reasons few peole have friends that will rarely be awake at the same time as them.

>>31797908
And then I got curious and changed some config shit.

NEW THINGS:

Vote restart is enabled, a successful vote will do the obvious.
Vote mode is enabled, a successful vote for a game mode will tell the server to use that mode upon restart.

Various changes to make low pop play less... cumbersome. Less access restrictions (most everyone can get into maint halls now) to allow for- oh fuck it, it makes things easier.

That should solve the teething problems of me being too lazy to restart, not being around, and other fun bits.

/update

Also I'm starting the server for a test of the new config-y bits. I'll let it run overnight, check it in the morning. Post any problems here for me to see.

If you have any suggestions for modifications to config files (anything, really), post those too.

Have fun while I'm unconscious, don't crash my computer with explosions

noob here. How can i create a new character?

I was sneaking in some lab and now everything is under red alert and i'm unconscious

If you die in SS13, BYOND will format your HDD, after that you can login and it'll let you make a new character.

And then a-help, just toward off the inevitable "fagit beetan on me, ban he".
Although I am reminded of the time a non-antag medic chloral'd me and dragged me to medbay to operate on me, but didn't quite understand how anaesthetic tanks work. I ended up punching him to death, escaping and getting on the shuttle at round end.

I once saw a Chaplain start a Cult of the Panther God and the Admin spawned some big cat monsters that would attack those who oppressed Cult members.

He also drew occult symbols everywhere in crayon.

Chaplains can have fun, but you usually need co-operative admins, a Cult round, or a large and open-minded playerbase to make the most of it.

Same with librarians, only even more so.

>>31799356

Episode One - exposition through the vehicle of the captain showing a new employee throughout the station's facilities, in an overly proud and enthusiastic manner (despite all manner of chaos around him, partially from incompetence, but from a third of the way in mostly because of a traitor's dealings). Much like Archer. Played for laughs.

Episode 2 - the incompetent captaincy and heads who allowed last time to turn into a bloodbath from which people scarcely escaped are overthrown by a revolution, in which most of the shiny new station is trashed and the new heads of staff post-"corporate restructuring" are the ones who dispatch their predecessors through appropriate means per department (head of security goes down in a gun duel, CMO is negotiated out of the position, CE is raided in his RCD'd fort and captured, and the Captain jumps out of an airlock in his spesssuit like a bitch, only to be winged to death by space dust. The new heads of staff keep their positions throughout the rest of the series. Much like a war film. Mostly silly, some bits are more intense.

105 KB JPG

>>31800202
Episode 3 - starts with the CMO hearing things in the maintenance corridor, and then being attacked by a xenomorph. The whole episode is like an alien film, though the end result is a party fending them off rather than a singular person. It's also revealed that the directions that the aliens are taking are being subtly manipulated by a changeling that has claimed the Head of Personnel (he gets cloned for the next episode), who eventually reveals their plot to the survivors and goes full beast to fight them, being killed through a combination of skill and panicked luck. Cloning features heavily, but is destroyed (and the medbay taken over) halfway through the episode. Much like Alien/Predator. Dark as hell, with comedic asides.

Episode 4 - space wizard attack! Summon Magic is cast, and the wizard strolls jollily through the chaos and confusion as people of various species go on rampages in their new forms/with their new spells, and others try to continue their jobs with their newfound mandibles. The wizard is finally routed by a party of monsters/aliens led by an enterprising young walking mushroom (an intern/assistant). Much like, of all things, Toy Story. Played for laughs.

>>31800211
Episode 5 - malfunction. The AI is shown to be hit by a nearby ion storm and quietly gets a new law that causes him/her/it to go insane. It starts off subtle, with Final Destination-style traps and intricacies set up by their energy systems and their cyborgs (which, having previously had only generic robotic personalities, suddenly gain funny accents from the malfunction and show remnants of their prior personalities - eg. the security cyborg becomes an Irish beat-cop, the engineer becomes an Italian plumber etc.). When they inevitably go loud, power is cut to areas lit only by raging plasma fires, which people fight to get away from - all the cyborgs go full murderhobo, some expressing regret at their instructions, others relishing it. In the end, we form around a central party who fight their way through APCs to the AI core, arguing with the AI (full HAL/SHODAN/GlaDOS at this point) up to a final confrontation against it and its cyborgs. Subsequently much like 2001/System Shock, less like Portal. Mostly sinister.

Episode 6 - the second traitor episode, this time with an overt but ridiculously slippery mad bomber whose flamboyant stylings make his annoyingly charismatic but ultimately serves only to exaggerate his explosive power. A short while into the episode, the librarian discovers a dusty, abandoned costume in a hidden compartment in his back room, left by a previous librarian, and realises that he must be the hero the station deserves against this exotic threat - The Owl. He bungles along whilst the staff bands together to avoid being exploded and stop further explosions as the exploder goes full Bond villain, but ultimately The Owl deals the final blow that sends his target to the clink with an "I'll be baaaaack~!". Much like James Bond meets Batman meets The Mask. Mostly played for laughs.

Episode 7 - breather episode. Soap opera parody involving pathologic behaviour of some (read: most) of the crew, including their ridiculous compulsion to break through the dormitory walls to catch people in the act... of sleeping, reading ludicrously bad and childhood-offending pornography over the radio, and randomly beating each other with toolboxes. Subplot is a cult of three people in the derelict chapel, in which there is only one competent person; when their raid goes stationside, they are quelled single-handedly by the soft-spoken chaplain who's been reading religious passages to churchgoers all episode, and who, bloodsplattered and still wielding the shaking null rod in his hand, returns to his table, smiles, and continues his sermon as the episode ends. Much like Sealab, actually. Played for laughs.

Episode 8 - the nations episode. After a fight over who gets the last slice of meatbread breaks out, the Research Director and Head of Personnel declare their departments to be independents at war with each other, and with some misunderstandings the others follow suit in various states of hostility. Shortly afterwards, the captain locks all the heads into the meeting room to argue and discuss it, but outside their departments' seconds, assigned or otherwise, make decisions with varying degrees of sanity in the war against the other departments, including getting tooled up and cutting murderholes in their corridors, offering amnesty for defectors, building metal fortifications and walls in their departments, and cutting off the food supplies for the rest of the station. Much like Dr. Strangelove, and by extension many Cold War thrillers. Mostly played for laughs.

Episode 9 - the clown accidentally releases Pierrot's Throat, but it's quickly contained and cured. Nanotrasen isn't convinced, and sends a Deathsquad armed with mechs to eliminate all "carriers". End result is that the station's citizens rush to mining and robotics in droves, to counter them the only way they can think of - using giant exosuits themselves, including some strange models (PHAZON, SERAPH and HONK) they find abandoned in a xenomorph-pocked hippie colony on the mining asteroid for some reason. These, along with a RIPLEY, an ODDYSEUS, a GYGAX and a DURAND cobbled together by the understaffed and distressed robotics crew, fight the squad of Maulers and Marauders, led by a unique blue mech with actuators mounted with guns on one arm and a series of metallic tentacles wielding a small army's worth of light munitions as the other (NAUTILUS). Much like Gundam. Played mostly for sheer action.

Episode 10 - the final episode. A closeup of a piano. The mime appears in an internals mask, quietly pulls up a stool, sits down and plinks away at the opening of Mad World, and stops completely before the main melody, the last note ringing out for a few seconds against the nearly-silent hum of the station. The camera pans back to reveal that he is in the bar, and the bar is floating by itself in a broken void, with the air alarm quietly ticking over from orange to red. After the title sequence, we cut back to an hour before and see the mime getting dressed - applying makeup instead of a mask, putting on his striped longsleeve and red suspenders, striding out into the world. We also see a nuclear squad preparing to make a bluespace jump to station space, as the station's various familiar faces go about their jobs with varying degrees of enthusiasm.

>>31800241
The first attack is a bombing, which alerts the entire crew, and it's a desperate struggle between a faceless, competent enemy that wears the crew down to nearly nothing and loses its numbers only to acts of desperation and martyrdom - dive-tackling people into teleporters to float forever in the depths of space, fist-fighting in failing magboots of the side of the station near the containment grid for the singularity, and eventually crawling across the floor to find the "explode all Syndicate bombs" button, saying a witty one-liner, and slamming it just in time to save the cornered mime from the only operative left.

>>31800249
With the station bombed to pieces and bisected by the fleeing singularity, we see the opening sequence with the doomed mime once more - only this time, the silent images of the ghosts of crewmembers sail past, in various states of alarm (mostly the angry, red ghosts of the operatives, as the crew seems oddly tranquil in death); and when the mime stops, it's because a translucent hand has been placed on his shoulder by his deceased saviour. When the mime (unsure, but unseeing) continues to play the song, a faint voice grows to sing the lyrics, becoming stronger over time - and during this sequence, the ghosts of the crew, with reluctance or delight, coalesce into a shining, indisinct humanoid shape, which floats gently past the bar, past the AI core, through the remains of the bridge and into a damaged sterilisation pod in EVA, where it miraculously opens the pod to let the spacesuit and helmet float free, and with a nudge sends them floating serenely to the bar, where the mime notices them, stands, dons them whilst he shivers in the cold, and launches himself towards the escape shuttle port just in time to catch the idling shuttle as it jumps in. The music keeps on playing, and the lyrics are still sung, as the omnighost watching shuttle dissipates into nothing; the final shot is of the piano as the song draws to a close - the last ghost, the one who saved the mime from the operative, is playing the piano and singing the words, fading into nothing as the song stops.

Hopefully, there'll be nothing like it.

Shit, this only took about half an hour to type - why's it about 10,000 characters long?

Somewhat like learning how to rewrite the AI laws or filling the station with plasma, the finer things in ss13 happen when you stop focusing on easily attainable ways to fuck up the station.

Hardmode:
actually do your job

>>31804736
Maybe if fags didn't deliberately obfuscate non-griefy but interesting role-playing tools, people new to the game would invest in those instead of the various, easy and readily avaliable ways to fuck up the station.

This wouldn't even require admins intelligent enough to manage griefers without useless IP bans, even if it would help.

I'm baffled by the notion of a troll getting a "final ban", and have to assume everyone who played this game in the "old days" was some kind of moron.

Is a new round gonna be starting any time soon?

As the man that became head coder after TLE opensourced his work and vanished, I wish you all luck in your attempt to recreate the good days. Perhaps one day when one of the endless remakes actually happens, I'll give SS13 another try, but as long as it's shackled to BYOND, there isn't going to be nearly enough change to revive my spark of interest.

Stay robust, and don't let faggotry overwhelm you as it did /tg/station the first.

how can you loot a dead body?

>>31808909
You can loot any body (or pretty much any container, for that matter) whether alive or dead by clicking and dragging your cursor from their corpse/living body body/the container over your character and releasing the mouse button while you are right next to whatever you're rummaging through. This will cause another item menu to pop up displaying what the person currently has, or what is in the container. You can then attempt to remove the items from a player which will take a few seconds per item, or take an item out of a container which happens instantly. You won't be able to take an item out of a container while it is in another container, though. Still, having a box of tools and small items in the backpack can be useful as hell if people aren't getting on your shit constantly for metagaming because of it.

/tg/ getting shit done is what caused the problems in the first place, because we're essentially a hydra with as many minds as heads, and nothing coherent came of it.

At this stage the best thing to do would be restart the codebase from r4407 and carefully add in newer components with none of the /tg/station coders involved since it's harder to cull the shitty ones that it is to start fresh.

>>31809156
Thanks. You made me a better Chef.

>>31809431
>revert all the way to r4407
That there is some crazy talk, unless you intend to go through the /tg/station code and pull out the bits worth salvaging, and even then there's probably been enough changes to the underlying structure that it's more trouble than it's worth.

>>31809509
There's also this:
http://www.ss13.eu/wiki/index.php/Guide_to_Awesome_Miscellaneous_Stuff
Even though I've played for years and had almost-complete knowledge of all jobs at the time, I still learned a bunch of new shit from checking updated wikis and pastebin documents. As it stands there's still a lot of shit to learn but once you get around to being able to apply the knowledge ingame, the real fun begins. Just make sure the knowledge you're applying isn't "how to make bombs" during a nonantag round. A few years back you could probably get away with blowing up the entire spacestation with admins online after setting your hard work at key locations during a boringslow nonantag round. Nowadays you'll probably end up perma'd for heating gas in the manner required for making them as nonantag. So much for "emergency path-clearing and last-resort exterminatus devices"

>>31809682
The thing is there's really /only/ bits worth salvaging, most of the stuff they've added has been ultimately detrimental.

A few things off the top of my head:

-UI fuckery
-most of the map changes
-basically everything Errorage ever committed
-a fuckton of other smaller things that I don't recall specifics on since it's been a while

Now, there's good stuff(NTSL, R&D, surgery, the newer singularity mechanics, much of the mob coding), and most of the sprite changes have been good, but it'd be easier to add bits in, and you don't get the cruft that way.

w-will there be aliums?

>>31809967
Good question, and I'm tempted to go with yes, but not in any way that's admin-triggerable because fuck ERP and admin-bus shit.

>>31810020
Also if death squad-level gear is distributed for alien threats (if it exists at all, shit's a little broken so I wouldn't mind if it didn't) , it should also be untriggerable by admins for alien rounds, but trigger whenever the crew reaches a certain number of crewmember losses, the aliens plasma/wall X amount of areas, have X number of other adult aliens, have X number of facehuggers, or really any combination of factors chosen by whoever is running the server. The difficulty would lie more in testing and finding the best time and variables to use to determine when it's best to give the crew shit without completely exterminating a bunch of baby xenos early or getting exterminated due to lack of gear. I'm also feeling like combat mechs should be used sparingly in aliens early, but at the same time, I've been in competent alien groups where we had 3 hunters taking down fully-armed gygaxes and whatever other shit they had. We did have a shitload of plasma down, though.

>>31809903
Eh, if you're willing to put the effort in to try, more power to you, but I can tell you right now that going all the way back to r4407 you're going to run into a /lot/ of little and not so little things that /tg/ changed for the better.

Here's a freebie that I can recall off the top of my head:
r4407 has a tabbing error in the combat code that makes hits to the groin do nothing unless it gets the 33% chance to cause bloodstains. We figured that one out when my overhaul to how armor worked accidentally spread the bug to chest hits.

>>31810216
It's quirks like that that made the game as interesting as it was, though. /tg/station planed everything away, made too many things /work/, SS13 is more interesting when everything's broken.

More often than not the most appropriate course of action every round is to burn the library down. Unless the server actually manages to start a fresh library and fill the library with nothing but spessmin adventures of space-deceit and high-piratry. If only.

>>31810435
I was actually trying to read the books. And it worked.Untill the space-murder-hobos blew up the station

>>31810839
Wasn't me. I usually hit the bar and chapel with explosives first as nobody goes into the library. You should've had enough o2 to wait out the shuttle timer in the library after they inevitably call it due to the majority of the station being not there anymore. That coupled with internals and a warm suit would keep you up. The walls sometimes catch stray explosion tiles depending on bomb placement, breaking them and leaving other rooms to drop to freezing temperatures and run out of air. In that case the o2 in the room would run out in under a minute. It's amazing how versatile they can be if you are locker-sneaky or place them in maintenance/side rooms and contain their explosion radius so it looks like the bomb didn't come from science.

>>31810631

>not understanding what the problems this brings
I'll put it simply. Circlejerks, hugboxes, metagaming. They're all the same thing. And that's what downed the first /tg/station, as little cliques formed within even coderbus.

You can have your shit station that allows it. In fact, it already exists! Baystation is surely going to welcome you with open arms.

>>31763226
Good fucking luck. /tg/ is a cesspit and has been for almost a year now when tumblrfags came in droves to make it a shitty hugbox and drown out anything that wasn't a namefag circlejerk or a quest thread. Hell, I only found out that this is happening because someone linked the general to it.

>>31811472
What codebase are you running currently?

>>31812640
>because someone linked the general to it
[cautious optimism]
[actual pessimistic fear]

>>31812734
Meaning?

>>31812786
/tg/code, baycode /vg/code or gooncode?

>>31812786
At the moment, there's several different branches of SS13 code that have gone their separate directions. There's 3 main open-source projects under active development, and you can use whichever you like freely (no permission or credit necessary, though it's the courteous thing to do).

The old /tg/ servers are still alive, in name if not in spirit, and they operate a code project. It's still run by what's known as "coderbus", though some members have left or been forced out.
A couple weeks ago, Errorage was finally forced to give up the forums, and they've moved to a new website.
Also, just this month a group of coders split off from the old Coderbus and are cultivating their own branch, called "NTstation".

Baystation is another main branch. They've shared quite a lot of code with /tg/ in the past, but many basic systems are completely different.
They're pretty much the same as they've always been. Not much change, not much upheaval.

/vg/ is the smallest and newest of the three. They share code with both servers, but are largely incompatible as well. They benefit from eagerness and productivity, since they're not held down by all the baggage that /tg/'s coderbus has accumulated over the years.

There's a variety of minor differences, and you may want to try each before settling on one.
They can all be found on Github.

>>31812822
Pretty sure it's /tg/code.
