Space Station 13: Free Monkeys For All New Crewmembers

Firmus_Piett

Did we just crash?

NEO|Phyte

Seems like, PM'd JDark. I'll be sad if it did, I was traitor :<
:edit: oh god, Mech asked for the code, so I dug up my copy to send him, and now I'm LOOKING AT IT.

Hahahahaha

I laugh at your pain.

NEO|Phyte

Speaking of improvements, I fixed that bug where when an AI clicks on a radio transmission to track a guy, that guy's radio window pops open.

Since I can't think of any other pressing bugs, I'm currently working on making zombies better.

Firmus_Piett

Oh, so I've just been tracked by the AI. Was wondering why that thing kept flying about.

I'll be sitting in the server if anyone wants to mess around for a while.

NEO|Phyte

So I set up one of those thingies on the one site, so that when people want to look at our code, we can just link that instead of having to upload it to rapidshare or something every time.

Goonstation 13 is simply incredible. Not sure if I could go back to this podunk version...

Yeah its a real bitch finding a version of that, greedy little shits keeping it for themselves.

Lets trade them the pre-alpha code for Stellar Sapien in exchange for their newest goonstation, maybe that many nerds can actually finish it. <-shits a joke don't do that

That reminded me how incredible Stellar Sapien was, even in it's mega early stage.
Replacing people's eyes with testicles and their brains with machine guns never got old.

Man, even as an alpha build I enjoyed simply testing Stellar Sapien more than actually playing SS13. I seem to recall volunteering for the first human -> ape-man brain transplant.

Doing anything interesting or competently (like being a traitor) is such an ordeal in SS13, when putting on your badge or rummaging through a toolbox is like a damn Tower of Hanoi puzzle. Whereas I remember fully dressing and doing all sorts of things in Stellar Sapien with a couple of drag & drop actions, and maybe some right-clicks.

As it is I just don't have the patience or stomach for plain SS13. It just wasn't designed by someone who knows how to design.

I would jump right back into the think-tank and sprite modification if the project went into full gear. But it seems like virtually nothing has happened on the site in a year's time. I wish Obs had stayed focused, locked-down features and kept with the short-term goal of replicating Traitor mode play. A full combat/death system and some implementation of game modes and we could of had a playable alpha.

While having something resembling a streamlined interface would be pretty nifty, IIRC, SS was closer to a tower of hanoi puzzle than SS13, what with actually having to remove outer equipment layers to be able to reach into pockets and such. :P

So this was apparently a short revival, unless everyone's been busy with RL stuff the past few days.

Lokiamis

Clearly we should play right this instant

Firmus_Piett

I was just waiting 'till the weekend. Be on now if anyone else is on or whatever.

The Cow King

I've been busy catching up on SP games and when there are usually enough mans on I get dragged into L4D2 with my friends.

I'll try to come on some time.

DietarySupplement

One thing I'm curious about: when you guys decide to play, is there like, a reset button or something that gets pressed to have the station start over? I've tried joining games only to find the station like half-exploded...

The game is played in rounds. At the start of each round, everything resets.

Lux782

Attempting to play right now. Forgive my foolishness.

Lokiamis

Be on in a few minutes I guess

Lokiamis

Seriously, come play with us. It'll be fun!

OmnomnomPancake

This game is terrifying.

BenMCOB

Oh man, I played some amazing games of this way back.

So I notice an entirely map and what looks like some pretty new features and a few comments here and there implies than the grand project to re-create the game might have gone ahead after all. What are the biggest things that I'd need to know about that have changed over the original version before diving back into this?

I'll be on later tonight. Also need to deploy a code update.

There's been like three dropbox updates since the code I emailed, so be sure to grab from there.

MechMantis

Bleh, my hunt for zombie variables got stopped cold by the Starcraft 2 Beta patch. I'll be on tonight, for gaem or for code-trawling.

Lokiamis

When's our next game with more than three people going to be? Somebody who isn't me should set a time.

MechMantis

Say, uh... 10 EST tonight?

MechMantis

Hey, reminder that there is a game going on according to me, in two minutes.

EDIT: You homps are terrible. No mans on with a ten minute warning, and after twenty minutes of waiting.

NEO|Phyte

We should wait for JDark to update the server tbh.

Tommy2Hands

you guys do realize that if there are zombies now, there needs to be a captain acess armory room filled with shotguns, right?

NEO|Phyte

There's been zombies for a while now.

Tommy2Hands

but are there shotguns

also, is anyone on?


I might be down to play a round if I can play the resident Head of Zombies

NEO|Phyte

So did the server crash, or is JDark rolling out the new version?

Firmus_Piett

JDark's sig LIES! I'll be on whenever it's back up.

Lokiamis

Blerg, no admin powers.

NEO|Phyte

If I had to guess (and I do), I'd guess that JDark overwrote the config files with what I've got on my copy, including my admins.txt which only has me on it. That or he decided you're a crappy admin or something. Does anyone else that used to have admin still do?

Lokiamis

It erased my saved character as well. Maybe SS13 just hates me.

NEO|Phyte

...Dammit, did my changes manage to cause server-crashy stuffs? I can ping ss13.jdarksun.etc, but can't connect to the server.
:edit: there it went, spooky.

MechMantis

Well, I can connect, but I'm having the same problem that Loki is.

That is, no admin powers. Which makes running games particularly difficult.

NEO|Phyte

So unless JDark's managed to readmin people, I'd be around now if y'all are too scared to play without an admin present :P

Lokiamis

Mech thinks that Jdarksun is a jerk. Let's play this game.

NEO|Phyte

Verily, let us make game.

uean

Yay noooob.

I installed BYOND and don't have the Dream Seeker app. Just Dream Daemon and Dream Maker. Boo.

I wanna play. This sounds awesome.

uean

found it. the installer didn't throw a shortcut into the start menu.

i dont see any mention of the PA server IP in the OP though.
