Welcome to the thread for d20 station, a rules light Space Station 13 server.
>What is Space Station 13? It's a 2D top down atmospherics simulator with who dun it gameplay layered on top. Each crew member aboard the station has a specific job to perform, while a select few are selected to be traitors (assassin/spy/thief).
>How do I play? You'll need to download the BYOND client. There's games other than SS13, but enter those at your own risk. BYOND Download link: byond.com/download/ You'll also want a BYOND account,which gives you a ckey so you can save preferences and be recognized by the game. It's highly recommended to make an account if you're experiencing connection issues or don't want to be a fat tourist/starving space bum.
To connect: Open BYOND, click the gear in the upper right. Click "Open Location" and paste in the IP below. byond://76.16.8.127:28014 OR byond://d20station.ddns.net:28014
>How do I play Use OOC (backspace say" in the bottom, type OOC and hit enter) and ask someone for help on how to play. People will almost always help you get a grip of the game if you're polite about it, just don't reveal too much in-round information in OOC. There's also wikis dedicated to documenting the spaceman way of life, but they vary widely from server to server.
>What are the rules? The rules are very relaxed and admins try to take a hands-off approach to administrating. Admins will generally only intervene if someone is explicitly playing to ruin the game or being a dick. Reminder to read the rules in-game.
>What map/code do you run? We run a heavily modified Ministation map with mostly custom code. Most jobs on Ministation are merged with similar counterparts and head roles have been re-enabled.
More receptive, cute looking characters would raise our server popularity. Played a round yesterday after a one year hiatus without checking the server and the loli bartender refused my love after all the attempts to approach.
Isaac Richardson
>turn the server into waifu bait trash to make it popular again on one hand your right, on the other it would make the server trash.
Noah Campbell
So how do we bring in new players everyone? Discuss your ideas.
Camden Clark
cool features
Charles Adams
Such as? We've got a handful of features other servers don't have. Propose some more if you think we don't have enough.
Andrew Barnes
Just go play Lifeweb, fuck is wrong with people.
Lincoln Davis
bring back stormtroopers
Nicholas Walker
As far as I know we still have them.
Robert Davis
Cargorio when?
David Fisher
A better lowpop map would be great.
Jonathan Morales
What's so bad about the map?
Jaxon Peterson
One of the things I liked about Ministation was that it only had two heads, it felt way better and how an actual lowpop station should be, but we've bloated it with other heads.
Lucas Nguyen
HoP and Cap?
Julian Walker
Yup.
Parker Davis
keep the fuck outta my kitchen
Connor Ross
So apparently what people think will fix the server is mostly as follows.
>rules light medium rp, allows room to do autism projects/fuck about but kills off le silent murderboners >actually fucking advertise the server out of Veeky Forums, fight off the shitter safari that will ensue >refine shit for lowpop, bin rev,wizard etc with like 1 head
Anything else?
Brayden Murphy
Donald trump for captain
Benjamin Johnson
Lee pls
Lucas Richardson
More shit to do in the case of low pop, more engines etc and cargorio never ever .
Hahaha well memed my friend!
Sebastian Robinson
how many oldfags still even play on the server? i dont like change you know
Brayden Hall
Assistants spawn with storm trooper gear and the trooper laser.
Evan Morris
not enough, it's only really me and Aiden on now, maybe Bobda or Lily if I invite them.
Thomas Phillips
i'm going to be fucking with some of the absurdly long sounds too, like that join sound >11 seconds of some dumb fucking low quality duck toy fucking why some of the gasping/pain effects are absolute gobshite too >8 seconds straight of some chick gasping it only works in lifeweb because it's supposed to be a brutal, slower-paced game where you only hear the characters making these noises when there's a proper fucking reason to, not when you brush past one low pressure tile in ss13 it's just a pain in the ass the fuck was so wrong with the simple, half-second 'breath' sound effect anyway?
why is this still a thing, anyway
Landon Carter
jesus christ sad
Christian Myers
I think keeping a lobby join sound is good if it's not a fucking ear raping death quack with more than 2 people on, and possibly a readying sound (if it can be disabled).
Some of the situation sounds are pretty hilarious but yeah, they are a bit shit.
Storm troopers were pretty fucking glorious, I think as an admin enabled thing it could be good. There was one round where about 20 people joined as assistants, and the station became the Deathstar 2.0, pure fucking autism.
Mason Nelson
and shit even in lifeweb it tends to get old really fucking fast also why is every 'agony' sound effect about 3 hours long and peaking through the roof
CURIOUS NOTE: USING ONLY THE END 2-3 SECONDS OF ALMOST ALL OF THESE 8+ SECOND CLIPS GIVES EXACTLY THE SAME EFFECT WITH 80% LESS EAR-RAPE
i've truncated the lobby join sound down to a possible 5 shitty quacks or 1 shitty quack maybe we'll get a nice bloop for it at some point or something instead
Logan Nguyen
i lurk the threads but I don't really play ss13 that much
i just got xcom 2
it's kinda shit
Dylan Howard
I'm adding a multiplier to the autolathe, any other machine that people want a multiplier on?
James Howard
CARGO MACHINE.
Holy fuck, thank you.
Aiden Perry
Sure, first thing in the morning. >implying people build an engine during low pop That stuff might be great for dorf but nobody is going to touch it on ministation. Maybe if the TEG gets wrecked but even then people just call the shuttle. If you have some ideas for engines then please share them so I can understand why you want them.
Xavier Torres
Haven't played in a while, are things still ded?
I'd come play but I can't get byond to work on windows 10. It keeps crashing when I try to join any server. I fucking hate this piece of shit spyware OS, fucking Bill keeping tabs on my porn habits
>it's kinda shit Nigger take that back
Bentley Turner
it's dead, but we're devising ways (and slowly implementing) things that we hope will bring it back from the grave.
Elijah Gray
can we get a hint
James Nguyen
Look at what Aiden has been posting, there's your hint.
Leo Foster
consider suicide
Jaxson Brooks
I thought tgstation was the ss13 server
Caleb Cook
Veeky Forumsstation stopped being Veeky Forums a long time ago I heard, so D20 cropped up in it's place from fa/tg/uys who were unhappy with it.
Blake White
Veeky Forumsstation was Veeky Forums years and years ago
now it's Furry station and has cut all ties with Veeky Forums, save for the name
Isaac Price
>furry not really the only things that come close are lizards and catgirls but catgirls are only adminspawned and lizards are usually called liggers The real problem with the server is favoritism where some popular players can do things that would get a regular player arrested or banned.
Aiden Fisher
no
it's either kill the aliens on your turn or die to them on the other with the time mechanic and how EVERYTHING is strong as fuck
Jacob Howard
how's this?
Camden Davis
Get rid of Father Relaxe.
Parker Reyes
comfy. D20 got best cargo.
Christopher Reed
Niceeee
Angel Reyes
Just patched the serb with all changes since may 15th. Mainly stuff to reagents, medical and genetics as well as a bunch of bugfixes.
Read the changelog.
Hunter Morales
No die
Brayden Jackson
Nice, I'm liking all this stuff I'm seeing in the changelog, good job.
Andrew Gonzalez
BYOND keeps crashing
Austin Hall
Try reinstalling.
Owen Gutierrez
if you're getting a black screen on join: revert to byond 509
Ethan Edwards
Played for a few weeks on Veeky Forumsstation might be interested to join from time to time
Jace Jackson
Neato
Daniel Perez
>Genetics is no longer an RNG mess >You can now grow foreign organs and implant them in people We space marines now.
Daniel Sanchez
Yeah, genetics is much better now, it's crazy in depth and requires a lot more work to get super soldiers.
Liam Lee
Where did the server go the past few weeks? I could not connect. Unless the IP was changed and I did not update sine I last played.
Zachary Morales
The IP has not changed, are you sure you weren't just checking on Thursday mornings? What IP are you using?
Charles Hall
I checked and and I have the right IP. I think I might have just checked during down time, or BYOND was being stupid. A little of A, a little of B I think.
Lincoln Bennett
Can someone post a link to the changelog? If it has a reliable link why is it not in the OP pasta?
Hudson Campbell
gonna have to hop on the server and check there if you want to see it.
Gavin Parker
d20station.ddns.net/ is the website with the rules/changelog, no idea why it ain't in the op.
Dominic Taylor
No, it just "BYOND stopped working" and closes window
Luis King
Is that before joining even? Do you have the latest internet explorer installed?
Jayden Gonzalez
Sometimes even on bootup
Owen Ortiz
So, with the new medical updates, birdshot does hilariously low brute damage, although it seems to do crazy amounts of mangle and a bunch of tiny little bleeding cuts.
Xavier Morris
do you have avast?
Adam Ross
No. Now it didn't crash...
Daniel Taylor
Do you have a guest account? If so please register and log in to the client. Install the latest flash on your internet explorer.
David Brooks
I wish I was italian enough to suffer through the spaghetti code. You guys have some great features I would love to try and mesh with Veeky Forums code.
Tyler Jenkins
coulda swore D20 station code was closed source.
Blake Cruz
it is
Jaxson Sanders
Remember when tgstation was Veeky Forums station?
Elijah Diaz
Remember when people on "TG" station knew about Veeky Forums ?
Grayson Rodriguez
Does anyone know any good looking Lifeweb sprites, or 64x64 sprites? I'm learning how to sprite, and I'm trying to get a good source of inspiration
Nathan Bailey
>rules light if anyone utters the words "rules light" then most people take it as "no rules" and will play the game normally until they can either provoke someone to cause a shitstorm or start causing one themselves with very loose reasoning.
The only thing worse is saying "no rules" which means literally anyone will try to kill you. god bless its perfect you can remove those 5x versions of air canisters now that you saved cargo I would work more on it but i've been hitting creativity walls lately with it maybe now that i'm not playing factorio itself so much I might focus on it a bit more
I want to change the smelter a bit so it has a setting to automatically churn through ore given to it.
Jacob Baker
>implying there's ever an admin on to enforce the rules
Justin Reyes
that's where you're correct friend
Nathan Williams
Hey, you don't need admins when you have no players.
Austin Bell
Veeky Forums is sending ERPers your way, just so you know
not that it would be a novel occurrence
Luke Harris
I never knew Veeky Forums was into necrophilia.
Austin King
is that where the ERPer fags are from?
Liam Gutierrez
? Don't know, I've yet to actually play, just checked Veeky Forums to see if they had anything SS13 while I try to get wineskin to run BYOND.
Joseph Richardson
i for one welcome our erpfriends except only casuals erp,LEERP is where its at
DX10 is needed for goon lighting. Https links (the TV on this server) doesn't work with IE8 for some reason so rip.
Anthony Jackson
Just sticks on "Loading Game Information..." like in the skin I made
I don't know how but I've fucked up good
Thanks anyway friendo
Nathan Jones
Are you able to use winetricks instead?
Julian Collins
I've tried winetricks for the dependencies, same problem.
Unless there's another use for winetricks? I'm not great at this so Wine is always a romp through the brambles for me.
If you can't tell by my software illiteracy I'm using a Mac
Brandon Lopez
RIP, all I can really say past this is make sure you installed the things via winetricks into a clean/new wine prefix, and not the one the skin uses.
Josiah Ortiz
Last time I played (A long while back now) I lagged so hard I could barely play, almost regardless of what was happening.
Has this been sorted?
Colton Cruz
Made a clean one, same problem
Test running in wineskin just gives >ERROR, tried to run command debug when the wrapper was already running. Please make sure the wrapper is not running in order to do this.
When I close, nothing even tangentially related to the wrapper is running in my systems, restarting does nothing. I think I've cursed my computer with a ghost wrapper.
Now I'll never get to honkk HONK
Andrew Phillips
Is it possible just to not use wineskin, and instead use winetricks/wine from the terminal?
Josiah Rivera
You know what, I forgot there was a Kill All Processes utility in the tools section.
I click that, see about seven BYOND531328467Wine processes suddenly appear on my systems monitor, and then watch them all get killed.
It... it's working user.
Logan Moore
Oh yeah I forgot, the byond process doesns't actually die when you close it down, never knew that would happen on Mac too.
Too bad D20 is ded the now, e-eventually we'll have players again.
Matthew Walker
One of these days... hopefully the new genetics system will attract some people.
Zachary Barnes
>Server is still going after 8-9 hours or so >Aiden's engine hasn't burned out yet Fuck man you're pretty good at this engineering shit Aiden.
Connor Wright
Shut the fuck up Father Relaxe. You and Lee were the worst fucking security I've ever seen.
>hurr this guy stole a banana, better pry his fucking eyes out
Fuck you.
Kayden Perry
>new ip to the thread But what does it mean?
Jonathan Myers
It means that Father Relaxe has to go and stay gone. I've had enough of him and his insanity.
Jaxson Barnes
But friendo there is no person named Father Relaxe. Are you feeling okay user?
