SS13: To Bomb, Griff, Validhunt, or to Have Fun Edition

Welcome to the thread for d20 station, a rules light, medium RP 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).

>Why is this on muh Veeky Forums?
d20 is a server made for fa/tg/uys by fa/tg/uys

>How do I play?
You'll need to download the BYOND client.
BYOND Download link: byond.com/download/
A BYOND account is HIGHLY recommended

To connect: Open BYOND, click the gear in the upper right. Click "Open Location" and paste in the IP below (Visual guide: i.imgur.com/d9D82fK.jpg).
byond://76.16.8.127:28014 OR byond://d20station.ddns.net:28014

>I'm new, and I don't know what the fuck to do. How do I swap hands?
Use OOC (backspace say" in the bottom, type OOC and hit enter, or: i.imgur.com/RodAGGZ.png), which means Out Of Character chat, 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. 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.

>When does everyone play?
The server is mostly populated with Americlaps, so peak times are usually between 7pm-3am EST

>Who are these tripfags?
Usually admins/coders for the server.

And to round it off, here's a much better story by Mezzo.

Probably my best story though, I was captain, and for some reason, got a hunch at roundstart, when the manifest thing mentioned possible nuke ops.

I went down to science to grab something, then went about my business.

My hunch proved to be right, and the nuke ops arrived. The HoS and HoP flanked me to protect the disk, but they had a Dark Gygax, and eventually we got split up. I ran to escape, and tried to get away, but he took me down, went into my backpack, and took a disk out.

I watched via deadchat, and he told the others he had the disk, and so they did their general fluke ops things and ran back to the shuttle or murderboned or whatever.

he made it back to the shuttle, grabbed the nuke, pulled it onto the solars. Deadchat was full of "gg gg", because the shuttle was still a good minute and a half from arriving.

He sets the bomb where he wants it, and then:

"NUKE OP has hit nuclear fission device with the technology disk (nuclear authentication)"
"NUKE OP has hit nuclear fission device with the technology disk (nuclear authentication)"
"NUKE OP has hit nuclear fission device with the technology disk (nuclear authentication)"
A pause from the Nuke Op, then, "IT'S THE WRONG DISK"

The nuke team flipped out as the shuttle arrived and the surviving heads managed to early launch it, and the nuke op who had grabbed the disk threw it into space and screamed "DAMN YOU, CAPTAIN!"

Fortunately, the crew had brought my body, with the ACTUAL nuke disk on board, so the crew got a Major Victory.

Also, let's have a round 7 PM EST tomorrow. We haven't had one in a few days.

who makes all this ss13 art?

There's a guy called "spessmenart" on tumblr that posts on r/ss13, which is where I get art.

Some of this stuff is from drawfags and taken from other anons reposting it. I only have this one semi-OC.

Forgot pic, fuck.

Can we make the nuke both spawn on the station and then rideable?

I'm going to try to get some
>friends
to try out SS13 here, wish me luck spacemans.

HILARIOUS BUG

Toasting a sandwich in the mircrowave causes it to produce activated charcoal, making it impossible to eat.

Also Cyborg problems

>service borg beer cans can be put into vending machines, easily can break the module
>service borg serving trays can pick up items from across the room, cannot place them on tables
>service borgs cannot use the lighter they are provided with
>cyborgs can buckle themselves into chairs, but cannot unbuckle

oh ss13
This game fills me with depression. Never at first. At first I feel happy. I do my job, wave at co-workers, feel fulfilled.
After a few rounds, the existential dread sets in and I'm reminded that I'm as alone in-game as I am irl.
I need some eyebleach

I'll play with you tomorrow user.

Also can the RD still be a traitor?

I don't know if you'd actually play. I thank you for the thought. What's a good server now? I was on Para, but I've heard things.

...

Ritual Midnight Bump

What do you anons think the purpose of botany is?

>go to spessmenart
>see furry art
nope.jpg

Food, drugs, and the hidden power to mass produce all kinds of rare materials.

Death nettles and rainbow weed

Come around here when we actually put the pop together for a full round.

Huh, well THAT doesn't get posted to r/ss13.

GOO IN LOO

I better damn well be able to suicide by swallowing glass shards or live batteries.

Can we surgically remove swallowed items?

What happens to swallowed items when the body is put through the gibber?

>I better damn well be able to suicide by swallowing glass shards or live batteries.
Nope, didn't think of anything like this.
>Can we surgically remove swallowed items?
When you remove the stomach you can attack it with a hemostat or wirecutters to extract items from it.
Right now the items get deleted. I'm going to make it so it lands on the floor with the meat instead.

>Nope, didn't think of anything like this.
But... the battery decrips explicitly say not to. And now we can!

it will be fun when I accidentally hit myself with something and had the mouth selected
now instead of reporting to medbay for self inflicted bumps and bruises ill just kill myself instead of having to admit I accidentally swallowed my wrench

Does vomiting have a chance to expell the items?

I hope there isn't a size limit on items. Inducing vomiting and then throwing up an obrez and a box of nugget food would be hilarious.

Do swallowed items add to inventory weight?

>it will be fun when I accidentally hit myself with something and had the mouth selected
There's a do_after based on w_class.
>now instead of reporting to medbay for self inflicted bumps and bruises ill just kill myself instead of having to admit I accidentally swallowed my wrench
Just go to the toilet and poop it out.
>But... the battery decrips explicitly say not to
Currently making them deal damage to you.
>Does vomiting have a chance to expell the items?
No, vomiting is a spaghetti thing.
>I hope there isn't a size limit on items. Inducing vomiting and then throwing up an obrez and a box of nugget food would be hilarious.
There isn't but your stomach size might be too small to hold some items.

oh nevermind it will be boring then

it's primarily requests from Veeky Forumsstation players, what do you expect

I'm going to hop on, let's get a round going today.

>put oxygen tank on back since surgery has nitrogen in it
>it's an anesthetic tank
rip

also get on niggers, we have 5. also where the fuck is everyone we had 60 posters last thread

from Veeky Forums a little while back

First time guy here; some people suggest playing as the Assistant for a first time player to learn the ropes of the game and whatnot while some other people have told me to never touch the Assistant for various reasons. What do you guys think a first time player should play as to learn the game?

Bartender, Chef, Janitor or Cargo Technician are good for first-timers. Personally, I recommend the Janitor.

What about Librarian, is that good for a first timer?

Yeah, why not. Pretty much any civilian job (with the exception of HoP) is okay for a newcomer.

I failed because technically the person has to be dead which I didn't know about, and I threw out the slime core so RIP

I need to learn how to FUN traitor more, but it might take awhile.

I had fun today, let's do another round tomorrow.

1700-1800s uniforms are in the works boys
russia and coldmeme gaurds soon aswell

hey man I made badly coded greytide AI
all it does right now is look for guns and ammo and shove them into their bags

Oh, never knew any of it got finished. You talked about it and we all got excited and then we stopped talking about it.

Ruskies throwing ammo to each other when? Tactical rolls when?

never because getting them to manage something as complicated as their own inventory fucked me over as well as feature creep

Dear Lord why has this game not been implemented on a real framework yet.

I cannot stand having to grapple with literally the worst controls in gaming.

as shit as it is the simplicity of adding code makes it easy to add content and breathe life into the game

like some never ending cpr

Bumping the thread

One more to be safe

I still want botany ideas, I have about 6 but that's about it.

A mutated variety of corn that is that real colorful mosaic pattern with its kernels. Dunno what would be its secret power or ingredient though, besides sprinkles.

Bicardine, Plasticide, that one rare medicine that chemists can't make, and Killer Tomatoes.

>Plasticide
???

>one rare chemical
Carpotoxin to make into Rezadone, wasn't it?

Is viro good yet?

>when you are just a simple man trying to be on a spacestation but it gets attacked by carp so you hold out in cargo and ship their dead bodies back to centcom to get better guns so you can survive more carp and ship their bodies to centcom to get better guns so you can survive more carp attacks so you can ship ther bodies back to centcom to get better guns so you can survive more carp attacks and then take a shuttle ride to centcom
>when one of the crewmembers was infected with spacecarp eggs and exploded into 20 mechacarp
i hope you had a good round spessmen and if you tell anyone about our little secret your parents will blame you and you will get in trouble so dont do it

Lifenettle.
Heals you when you are hit, amount of healing depending on its potency. The leaf is destroyed after one hit.

I like this one, how do people get sprinkles normally?

What about a nettle that's a lot more effective against stuff like carp and such for Dorf? I don't know the fluff, but there'd be the choice of the PVP (that feels disgusting to type for ss13) nettle, and now a PVE nettle.

Thoughts?

nah everyone knows guns are most effective against carp
carp have 40 hp so most ballistic weapons kill them in one hit and lasers can double tap them, and any sufficiently robust melee weapon may be able to last you if you have armor or a shield though we neglected to make fortifications during the attacks

the point being a botany item specifically for ai mobs would be pretty specialized and would end up not being effective enough to warrant mutating or overpowered

Okay how about a nettle that acts like a welding tool and does do damage, but it's less and is burn damage. The Building Nettle.

also specialized as fuck since you'd just use a welding tool

maybe plants that are capable of making raw materials like a mutation of tower caps that make metal or some shit I don't know

Yeah I do need to make a silver plant.

Just make a money tree or something along those lines.

>service borgs cannot use the lighter they are provided with
They actually don't need to "light" it before using it. Just tested this, attacking cigarettes will light them.
Even attacking people in the mouth with it will light their cig.

Patched up the serb before the thursday restart:
>Gibbing people with the gibber will now also expel any stomach contents they may have had (barring reagents).
>Silicons can no longer put reagent_containers into vending machines.
>Trays can no longer remotely teleport items onto them.
>Trays will now dump everything they carry on a table when used on a table.
>Borgs can no longer buckle anyone (including themselves) to chairs.
>Toasted sandwiches will no longer get carbon.
>Empty reagent_containers will no longer throw run times when used on autolathes.
>Powercells that are inside stomachs will damage the stomach and burn the stomach's owner.

Mutated potatoe that can be used as a battery?

already is one
using cable on potatoe already makes potatoe battery

>I like this one, how do people get sprinkles normally?
You need to make space drugs, first.
Then space drugs catalyze iron into confetti.
Then you blend confetti with nutriment to make sprinkles.

...

SAFETY BUMP

Has anyone had a successful hostage situation? An unsuccessful one?

How do you come up with gimmicks? What are some no-nos?

>drag someone into maintenance
>keep shouting "i have a gun"
>have to pepperspray them over and over
>buckle them to a chair
>start asking questions
>they unbuckle and start punching me
>shoot them twice
never again

The trick I think is to take an NPC like Ian as hostage.

>start as engineer, but no one is on for ~2 hours
>decide to get the captain's uniform and ID because why not
>learn RnD from Ray Parker Jr. (thanks again btw)
>Hobo Goo and Irvan get on, Goo starts messing up the station

HOMELESS GO HOME

pick a stereotype
try to act it out
avoid unfun stereotypes like "mass murderer"

Do not play on this server if you want to learn SS13.

Why?

Be advised I will be rebooting Doombot within 1 hour because Windows Updates.

I've also reworked the automated reboot/startup procedure so it's less retarded.

How do you get higher definition pictures out of the dmi files?

if you mean how to get a 32x32 sprite in a not fucked up format save it as a .png and if you're shooping it on something never let whatever program you're using try to smooth it out

if you're trying to make a sprite bigger than 32x32 in a .dmi file, each .dmi file will only allow sprites of a single size, i.e you can't put 32x32 sprites into a .dmi with a setting for 64x64, it will only accept sprites of 64x64 size. there's a option in the top right of the .dmi file to change the file's image size
excellent use of supporting evidence

Doombot has been updated and rebooted.

For those interested, changes to the automatic reboot are below.

>Reboot takes place every Wednesday at 0700, GMT-6
>5min after kernel load, startup script runs
>script starts the controller for the HTTP and SQL servers, waits for them to fully initialize
>script starts the BYOND pager, gives it 10 sec to load
>script starts DreamDaemon, loading up the default d20 server

Elapsed time from boot: 7 min give or take because DreamDaemon takes a bit to load the server.

Once I get the replacement server, I plan on further reducing our downtime with CPU/RAM/SSD upgrades.

but will it increase autism by allowing the master controller to leak more memory on shenanigans before crashing???

Maybe? I might be able to trick DreamDaemon into allocating way more RAM than it has any right to. I mean, it does already, but I bet I can increase the number and fuel autism with technoautism.

Need some ideas for the background

background alternates between FIRE, biomass, ayyliums, and greytide

are we doing more dorf autism this weekend?

...

Friday night tomorrow, we've been having lowpop this week. Where's everyone been? We should gauge how many people want dorf and how many want mini so we don't get 3 people on dorf.

I'm personally in favor of dorf in so far we have like 7 people at least wanting to join.

Here's a strawpoll:

strawpoll.me/12094899

can't play dorf this weekend work all weekend
so the dorf station is doomed to poor logistics and destruction

Damn shame, I will fulfill the legacy of Ray Parker Jr.

Seriously though, where has everyone been? We had a good 17 pop round last week, and now it's dead-zone ova' here.

How hard is it for someone who has never played before to get good enough to start having fun?
