>>1776723>another round of bomber self-antagging
Letโs talk about your statics, anons. Have they ever been in a relationship? Are they married? Are they straight or not?
>>1776746I had one static that got married after dancing in a vox strip club. Shotgun wedding
>>1776746One of my statics hooked up with a male vox once.
anyone got a fork that can run a bit better with direct byond addresses to stations, or is that a work in progress?
Also the more i read that manifesto thats been posted up by the FOSS monkeys the more and more i hear a line echo in my head of a man.
https://youtu.be/UAVImvzFhXI?si=pcNKFwh5wNmx1N8J
>>1776912sodaman played ss14 not vg
>>1776746My static hasn't ever been in a relationship. He's too dense and straightforward to understand love.
>>1776746My static is, honestly, too good for the loser male statics so she won't date them (dating down).
Is it true that SS13 and SS14 is full of trannies these days and you can't even mod anti-trans stuff into the game?
>>1777027I'm not saying you're him but I really love how rich goes about relationship RP. Always awkward but sweet, and puts his duties above everything else. The man deserves a raise every round.
>>1777094Never had an issue saying racist / anti-tranny stuff on /vg/
>>1777100So is it just SS14?
>>1777104Yeah, there's people who say it's the case on /vg/ but it never has been. I think they've just made it up. All you have to do is log in and start saying it and you'll see that no-one cares.
>>1777094SS14 will dehub servers if they even look at the devs wrong.
SS13 doesn't dehub but all the servers with a playable population are trooned out.
>>1777104Last I played (~1 year ago) SS14 was basically vg mechanically, which is very unfortunate because vg is extremely barebones compared to the other servers.
>>1777094It's true for most servers on both games but they both also have smaller servers where that isn't the case. The thing is, SS14 is developed and run by rabid trannies while BYOND (the engine SS13 runs on) is developed by a single apolitical guy.
So any wrongthink gets a SS14 server kicked out of the hub and central auth system so those servers will have to set up their own from scratch if they want to keep going which is costly and time-consuming, although I've heard that several de-hubbed and de-authed servers were working together to make their own alternate auth system.
Meanwhile all that matters for SS13 is that the hub entry for the server doesn't have any explicit slurs in it, I guess because Lummox doesn't want that on the BYOND website, other than that you can host a server with whatever you want on it and the most trannies can do is ban anyone who played on chud servers from their own.
As the other posters said, /vg/station doesn't ban you for not sucking the girldick, there's also a kiwifarms server and I think at some point there was a sharty server. There's also some niche servers like Lifeweb but those are harder to find or get in to. You could also always take your chance on any lowpop hub server that probably doesn't have admins on.
>>1777578It will be up in 4-5 hours. Not easy to operate with a ghost crew, sorry guys.
>>1777094this is not your safe space

any update on the DDOS attacks? it's still fucking down lmao... this is going to cull the normies at least
https://www.reddit.com/r/SS13/comments/1kp5amt/hot_take_ddos_has_increased_because_server/
"
This is not to say that DDoS is justified. It's not. Just like violent rioting isn't justified. But outbursts like riots come from the unheard responding badly to an inflexible and injust system. DDoS is the same way.
The game has evolved into 2D vrchat for metacliques who become outraged if they die from an antag or anything unexpected happens.
Admins are now sec, and space law has been completely overtaken by server rules, often even constraining antag behavior.
Permabans for minor infractions are now the rule with very few exceptions. Often they are because of unwritten server customs or broad interpretations of "rule 0"
So yeah, DDoS are not justified but they are the natural and predictable result of a bunch of sad losers treating servers like their power-trip terrarium for their perverted punishment fetishes. Needing permission from these vindictive weirdos to play the game makes people pissed off. Having them micromanage every action you do in game sucks.
The appeals system is supposed to be checks and balances for bans but has mostly become a humiliation ritual, one that doesn't do its job of regulating admin behavior. Appeals are formalities that just reinforce admin control and sense of power.
It's easy to be pissed at this decline of the game's community and it's easy to see how someone would be pissed off enough to retaliate against a treehouse club of petty losers. If you want to end DDoS then start making server cultures better"
>>1778615>The appeals system is supposed to be checks and balances for bans but has mostly become a humiliation rituallol other servers force you to admit you were wrong when you appeal a ban
at least here you can pester admins to your heart's delight to punish them for being annoying jannies and then you can watch them cry in the discord
>>1778655>at least here you can pester admins to your heart's delightno? i got banned for posting in a ban request
Is this game still coomer shit?

What was your greatest antag gimmick of all time?
>>1780300I never do antag gimmicks because I'm not robust enough to pull them off without getting robusted by validhunters
>>1780295Most veteran players realized the weight of responsibility is not worth dealing with on a regular basis, this is why you'll either see people stop playing or become assistant mains.

>>1781469So no party summer is happening again? Or is he just not updating anything for a few months?
>>1781462This is true. Some 'Self antag' behavior is needed to keep a round interesting on a minor level
Murder is acceptable so long as you don't round remove, and it escalates to that moment. But you should try and avoid it.
>>1780868Players I have ERPd with
there are 55 PLAYERS ON /VG/STATION RIGHT NOW
HIGH POP VG???? WHAT WENT SO RIGHT
>>1780300On /tg/ I killed most of the station as a plasmaman with radiation back when it was invisible, spreadable, and plasmamen were immune to it.
/vg/station currently has 64 players
this is the highest since Ssethtide.
Easily the worst round I've had in months, it felt like I was on fucking bestRP
>>1781375>>1781483I don't have a problem with some playful antagonism from greyshits. However...
>Pick a random target and start shit>Continue to start shit>Ignore every attempt at de-escalation>You know you're being a faggot but you escalate anyway>Start a 90 minute long manhunt after you give everyone no choice but to kill youWhat do you even call this behavior?
>>1781752Hardcore tiding. I say if it goes on for like, more than an hour of senseless violence and one party's already been brigged, beat them to death and leave them at medical.
>>1781758>senseless violenceThe worst thing you can do against tiders is get violent with them. You're giving them permission to get more hostile, and even if you manage to robust them, they'll just bring reinforcements.
The only solution is to de-escalate as much as possible and bide your time. Stun/slip/push if need be. They will get bored and move on to someone else and that's when you gank up on them.
Have you ever ERPโd, anons?
>>1781828not since all the minors got banned from the server *sigh*
how do you all feel about roguetown/rogue code
>>1781774If you're playing on a retard server (such as /vg/) that protects and worships tiding and gives them special OOC protections, all you can do is ignore them.
if you're playing on a real server, you just kill tiders.
>>1781681No? It was around 70-80 a couple months ago
>>1781844>special OOC protectionssuch as?
why does no one want to touch dynamic? we would get a lot more players if we didnt get roundstart ops, wizwars, vamps, cult, and traitors whenever there's more than 30 people on
>>1781908ngl, dynamic is why I hard quit /vg/station. it was a particularly nasty round that had both a revolution and traitors. I was sec and caught a revolutionary and deconverted him, sec was under siege so I gave him a gun and told him to buckle up. he just shot me and went LOL I'M TRAITOR TOO XD U MAD?
I'm sure it was a fun experience for him, but I lost interest in the server and stopped considering it as a serious option for playing on after that
>>1781929thats just the tip of the iceberg. wait till you see roundstart vamps and traitors and latejoin revs
thanks for doing your best to kill the game c*ders :)
>>1781828I was hitting on a femstatic med once, she drugged me and started amputating my limbs. I acted it out as if it was kinky foreplay.
And when she grabbed another victim and was operating on him next to me I was heartbroken and called her a slut.
>>178188250% of admemes wont ban you if you roundstart welderbomb toolstorage
>>1781882Literally every single time I've killed a tider as sec or anyone else they immediately ahelp and I get bwoinked with "calm down and stop killing people who are breaking your shit/killing you"
I unironically have a note for killing a clown who was putting people into crit and then walking away (silently, so no funny gimmick) as a nonantag
Day 1
Creating a better SS13 remake from scratch, with just an hour of programming a day. How hard could it be?
>>1782058That has been attempted like 4 times by now and the troon-infested hellhole that is SS14 is the only one that has had any success.
Unless it's just a thing you're doing for fun you're better off just forking code from a SS13/SS14 codebase and refactoring it to be less shit instead.
>>1782080I just wanna see how much can I achieve, with just an hour of programming per day. (Might be exceeded when we get to networking).
>>1782058>How hard could it be?very. Just for an example of things you will need to code to have a working ss13 remake, the list includes and is in no way limited to:
>Netcode for EVERYTHING (and there will be a lot of things to sync up)>Atmospherics simulation (depressurization, gases mixing, and so on)>player-controlled actor movement>actors acting upon objects>actors acting upon other actors>Inventories and definitions for each item that can and can't be picked up>Consoles opening in another window (optional but come on it's like one of the cooler features of SS13)>Chat functionality (including emoting, radio channels, and a whole set of in-game objects that govern the behavior of the radio networks)and that's just what i could come up with in the moment, SS13 is over 18 years in development so the list of features you're competing with is basically insurmountable, as is the amount of content (which is different from just features, yes).
>>1782091If you start writing code without netplay in mind, putting it back into the singleplayer techdemo will require either computer-killing amounts of spaghetti code, or a complete rewrite/refactoring of everything. Don't do it this way, it's bad practices and a huge waste of time. Make something basic that works multiplayer, then add to that engine over time.
>>1782120>If you start writing code without netplay in mind, putting it back into the singleplayer techdemo will require either computer-killing amounts of spaghetti code, or a complete rewrite/refactoring of everything. Don't do it this way, it's bad practices and a huge waste of time. Make something basic that works multiplayer, then add to that engine over time.Man, if only there was a game engine that took care of all the netcode stuff on its own so coders could focus on adding (and removing) two decades of autistic content instead...
BYOND is extremely shitty though so I understand wanting to get away from it.
>>1782125>If you start writing code without netplay in mindI am designing with netplay in mind, and it will added before most of the other systems like atmospherics, layers, etc.
>>1782120Netcode is the only thing that will require some experimentation on my part. The rest of the stuff is a lot easier.
If I were you I would focus on making the actual server program that's supposed to run the main game on it first with the intent of having almost all of it server-side, then figure out what can/needs to be client-side and implement that after. Ideally you would probably be designing the server and client in conjunction. I don't have much experience with network coding though so don't take my advice as gospel.
BYOND has almost literally everything server-side which is one of the issues with the engine itself but it does make coding for it a lot simpler and makes some cheating/hacking methods impossible (but it does cause a lot of lag). IIRC this is part of the reason why most SS14 codebases have no player collision, because the sane thing to do computationally would be handle it client-side for each individual player, but then that means cheaters could just hack their client to not register player collision, letting them walk through other players. SS13 doesn't have this problem because checking for player collisions server-side on a tile grid-based system is a non-issue.
I just want to say that yesterdays 50 pop rounds were some of the best spessshit i've played in YEARS
>>1776723>everyone looking away>only one person is even talking to the retardis this what this faggot intended?
>>1781842Could use some work.
I think the biggest problem is the perpetual de-feature creep a lot of servers have. Nerf things, remove things, never overhaul or replace.
>>1781681Wait, is it back? I remember it ballooning to ridiculous levels during the pandemic, but crashing hard in 2023 or so? I just want my comfy 25-ish medium population with the occasional 40+ pop round.
>>1783098It's not back back but it's like 15-20ish pop daily, some 20-30pop days and the rare gigapop as you see in the image
>>1782058You underestimate how hard immersive sims are to code and design for. Especially multiplayer ones.
Not to discourage you or anything, good luck with your project. Hope something worthwhile comes out of it.
>>1783098last few weeks 20-30 pop rounds have been one in every two nights, that screencap was the highest ive seen in years
>>1782058Just make an SS13 inspired game instead, man. Like Barotrauma.
Also, don't advertise it to SS13 players.
>>1782058Honestly having a single player mode a la rimworld (including mods) would be nice, inventory, gases, cables, galore
>>1783208You can already do that with SS13 by just running a localhost, it's pretty comfy actually. I had one with a round that lasted like a week just doing autism projects and learning all the job content.

The concept of Antag is a "hack" and not a real solution the the griefing problem.
Nobody is a born villain. The concept of traitor/wizard/etc is fine, but the rule "no killing as non-antag" is dogshit.
>>1783444The only rule /vg/ has is escalation
You don't open with the murder. But you do build to it. It's why Schlomo gets his nuts slapped for being retarded while people like Tug and Joey tackle and throw shit around without much consequence.
>>1783389>remove arms and legs from femstatic, sew mouth shut and keep them in my bag all roundMemes aside, is that actually possible? Putting nugget bodies in your bag.
>>1783488Nope
But you can hold them inside a odysseus or locker them and hold in a ripley.
>>1783391>a bunch of faggots that dont play anymorethe new list won
>>1783447I got bwoinked for tackling a mommi
silicons are pomf's chosen
>>1783596I've only seen maybe 5 at most of those names lately. It is interesting seeing old grudges with the context completely gone.
On an unrelated note, these are some good gray names >>>/wsg/5881407
David Earth in particular made me chuckle.
>>1783447>Tug and Joey tackle and throw shit around without much consequence.spacedgod is actually careful when escalating and he doesnt just play assistant. bomber harris earned good will because he was a headmin that never banned anyone so he's never going to get punished for being a tiding nigger
>>1783689Fair. I was more referring to what seemingly looks like mindless tiding. It's actually quite interesting play from both guys. Bomber's a bit more violent, but I've never seen him sperg out if you beat his ass.
im trying to get back into playing ss13 after 15 or so years, what's the best server now? I use to play /tg/ for years and now I gotta relearn the whole game
>>1783864>/tg/he doesn't know
>>1783864/tg/ is no more, it is TG now. /vg/ is like /tg/ of old, for better and for worse.
>>1783144It's not hard. The hard part is getting people to play it.
>>1783444You're so close but still off.
>not a real solution the the griefing problem.The problem is the round is boring without someone griefing.
Lifeweb already solved this problem. Griefing is a food chain. People higher up on the food chain have more to lose if they fuck up, so they're incentivized to keep the order at least within their group.
How the hell I'm supposed to tackle all of this when controls differ between servers? Even with /vg/ keybinds on goon they differ...
SS14 is just simpler...
>every player is dead
>you still have to wait 5+ minute to call a fucking restart server poll
why do coders and admins hate players so much?

>no player collision>servers get removed from the Hub or the direct connection function by power-hungry creators>a lot of features still havent been fully importedalso in 13 all the controls are the same: arrow keys and mouse. Don't fall for the hotkey meme and you'll be fine.
>>1783689>and he doesnt just play assistantNot counting his mechanic rounds as assistant rounds is disingenuous and you know it. Spacedgod is a 110% coal-black niggerfaggot who self-antags ten minutes into every round and the only reason he hasn't gotten publicly executed yet a la sexmain is because the server culture gives grayshits and mechanics a longer leash. If he ever eats a jobban that forces him to play ANYTHING other than a designated tider/shitter job (assistant, mechanic, chaplain, clown/mime, etc.) then I have $100 that says he'd eat a perma inside of a week for doing exactly what he does every round as a mechanic or assistant.
>>1784540I've literally just shotgunned assistants who keep breaking in as a Warden and the admins don't say shit. This is usually because the tiders here have a light honorcode.
IE: Robust them and they won't cry to admins. Escalation is simple as saying shit like "strike one" (See: Schlomo)
>>1784540ive seen him play scientist a bunch and even when he plays mechanic, he does research and/or sets up power if necessary. bomber is the one who's a 24/7 tiding nigger that starts fights moments after he latejoins
comparing spaced to secmain is absurd. secmain was a terminally unrobust secoff who only played the role to be a greyshit with roundstart stuns. its funny how both his defenders and the people who hate him are totally wrong about him lol
>>1784361>>lingLings are such a consistent pain in the ass that eventually I just started making atmos loops that put 0.1% BZ into the air.
Lings stopped being a problem after that.
>>1784486>14 is simply worseNah, it's different game.
>>>a lot of features still havent been fully importedYou are saying this like the development has stagnated, 'mind me how long has it taken devs SS13 to make most of its features?
>13 all the controls are the same: arrow keys and mouseI'm used to WSAD, so this wont do.
>fall for the hotkeyYeah hotkeys seem to be pain on most servers, I'm constantly doing some stupid emote (I think its mostly "salute") when trying to do anything with ctrl.
>>1784705the only reason why bomber wont ever get banned is because hes an exheadmin. a lot of the current admins are extremely critical of how he plays but bomber has so many dick riders that any reason they try to justify why he should get punished is ignored.
>you cannot play here you arent our buttbuddy for gay enough time
>login timed out byond server are offline
great games you fags got here. when can I expect SS15?
Something happened to Bomber but I don't know what. From the best captain he went to the worst assistant.
>Want to play on vg station again
>Moved to a new computer
>Byond is down, so I can't login to my account
>Locked out of vg station
God dammit bros, I just want to mine on the /vg/ roids again. I love exploring the depths of space for hours and coming back to a station that's been torn apart by nebulous bullshit in my absence.
>>1785390>>1785443There are lapses in the DDOS. The BYOND website and the hub was up for several hours a couple days ago around 11pm EST and the other breaks in the DDOS happened around nighttime in the US so I would just check BYOND around that time every day to see if it's been let off.
The attacks themselves probably aren't going to stop for some time though because it doesn't cost much to take down a small service like BYOND. My bet is that it will last for another few weeks at the minimum.
>>1785365remember when he took advantage of a bug to give himself infinite lives so he could respawn (as the same character of course) and fuck with sec forever? his discord buddies in the thread pretended like he literally dindu nuffin
ITS UP
PLAYER COUNT: GOOD
BUT WERE GUNNA GO SO MUCH HIGHER!!
>>1784792>You are saying this like the development has stagnated, 'mind me how long has it taken devs SS13 to make most of its features?NTA but the people building SS14 are the people who turned SS13 into a shadow of its former self. If anything good comes out of it it'll be from a custom server, but there is no way the devs wouldn't dehub it.
I genuinely was considering making an SS14 server and learned the codebase, but seeing people get banned in the Discord for asking dumb questions when trying to get started and then seeing the head SS14 dev secretly recording people made me back out.
I have 0 hope for the game.
>Yeah hotkeys seem to be pain on most servers, I'm constantly doing some stupid emote (I think its mostly "salute") when trying to do anything with ctrl.Almost every server has a 'tg hotkeys' option in the drop downs at the top of the screen or somewhere. Just learn those and it's pretty much universal.
>Nah, it's different game.To give you an idea of how gutted SS14 is I have something that is entirely rules-based. I use to play aliens just to form a mafia incase a mob formed just to kill aliens or the AI became AMISOV. You can't do that in SS14 because speciesism is banned, so there is no point to have a mafia. The game is extremely restrictive even when you ignore the fact half the mechanics are missing.
>>1786017>people building SS14 are the people who turned SS13 into a shadow of its former selffpbp
>>1785661Yeah, he justified it as medbay ate his brain after he logged off (didn't happen) and that he only just found the bug that round (he and kavlax knew about the bug months in advance and neither reported it)
>>1786057>medbay ate his brain after he logged off (didn't happen) nono, he MADE other people destroy/eat his brain in order to force the bug to happen, and also wrote notes to himself to justify continually self-antagging through multiple lives
>>1786109yeah his gay nigger protag syndrome behavior really shined in that round. if a lesser known player had done this shit no one would come to their defense
>>1786021>fundred-eighty-fifth post best postah yes as that's how the saying goes
>>1785661 >>1786057 >>1786109 >>1786243I don't even know what server this is (vg?) but if you don't have retards like that then the round gets extremely boring because nothing happens.
Did you autists learn nothing from boomerstation?
>>1786688Yeah. Joey's fucking annoying at points, but Bomber doesn't scream in Ahelps. You can shit on him freely if he gets out of hand, or lock him in gay baby jail.
>>1786688>if you don't have protag syndrome faggots exploiting bugs while being protected by admin butt buddies the round gets extremely boringThere are people that stir shit and actually take their lumps, meanwhile last time someone ban requested bomber he started screaming in admin chat instead of replying in the ban request thread
>>1786753bomber has been nothing but a thorn in /vg/'s side the entire time he's been here and its hard to understand why the discordites like him so much. i hope one of the aggressive retard admins just snap and ban him when he teeters a little bit too much over the line as his assistant
>>1786952Jealous you donโt get as much attention as him?
>shitter does thing
>crickets
>months pass
>shitter pisses off someone
>thread dogpiles on shitter
>thing gets brought up again
why are you like this? if it upset you, why not make a banreq/feedback back then?
>>1787277Because to post in the feedback thread would mean they're held accountable for saying retarded nonsense/lying.
Anonimity is okay, but if you have grievances, you have a right to face your accuser.
>>1787277>cricketsNo people were pretty up in arms about it then and he did get a ban request over it. He's butt buddies with the headmins so his ban got reduced to "Umm you can still play but be nice okay?"
>>1786749>but Bomber doesn't scream in Ahelpshe wrote a ban request on falcon just a few months ago lol
>>1787480fair desu.
I'm used to tiders sperging out constantly whenever they get dunked oocly.
>>1787277Everyone here has given up on a server for vm, so might as well will let it be vg spilloff at this point.
>>1787326But nipples was lenient towards (almost) everyone
>>1787324>>1787535Theyre just discussing old drama. Every other general thread ive seen on this site is like this tbqdesu
>>1787570nipples is just a chill guy that gets that ss13 is just a game for fun at the end of the day
>damn someone non-antag killed you?>here, have a wiz round. fuck him up.
>>1787593Yeah but still your experience isnt more important than that of other players. sometimes clowns mimes and greys forget that and thats when the janny tranny unfortunately has to intervene to keep the serb from going to shit
>>1787610As someone who got banned from clown and mime for a while. The key part to being a fun clown/mime is realizing you aren't always the center of the joke. Sometimes you're just around to augment someone else's bit. Sometimes you aren't really that important at all.
>>1787836It's like Runtime the Cat, it's both until you check it out yourself.
>>1787570>Every other general thread ive seen on this site is like this tbqdesuEven when vg ran ads on the board no one on vm talked much about it. This thread was anons either trying to start a server, arguing about the existing server, or arguing about how to handle the next server. I guess Riveria is so bad that everyone would rather pretend it doesn't exist and talk about vg lol

>>1788693Most servers that aren't explicitly ERP tend to completely forbid ERP
>>1788693>Whats the best server to go on for people who don't wanna RP Coomer shit at all?Depends what you wanna do. Any flavor of TG is the best for jobbies. VG is the most laid back. Riveria is the best for validhunters.
>>1788905They have to be. Their game is MIT licensed open source.
The second someone gets more popular than them and spins off they lose everything.

Why dont admins bother writing a proper response to secmain's appeals? Kind of unusual for a "you didn't break any rules but you're gone anyway" type of ban
>>1790007Because he's secmain.
join and ready up, for fun
>>1790188>NotaspiderI remember this guy being spammed a ton in the vg thread
>>17887231. No
2. No
3. Fuck no
4. No
5. Maybe
6. Absolutely not.
>>1790007His last few attempts were pretty damn sad not gonna lie, he couldn't even muster up a decent voucher in the meantime. Doesn't really seem like he's changed and therefore would be a waste of time responding.
Whatโs the best server to erp on?
>>17887231. soulless
2. maybe. i actually hide my windows taskbar when i play ss13 because it makes my viewport less fucking tiny
3. seeing a criminal at the very the edge of your vision that doesnt remain there long enough for you to examine/see a name is fun and this would ruin it
4. bloat and confusing
5. sure why not
6. looking through a stack of a billion items SHOULD be a hassle
shifty, there are legitimate problems plaguing the server. those problems dont include R&D and the UI. i really dont understand what the point of your last few PRs is
>>1790007probably because nipples originally wanted to fuck with him instead of properly putting him out to pasture like he should have. the issue is that the discordites didnt like him
>>1790393i really cant sympathize him. ive never had problems taking breaks from ss13 aside from thinking about it like once a month
i guess if you dont play other vidya it would be tough but i seriously hope you faggots dont just play spess all day...
>he couldn't even muster up a decent voucher in the meantimeif i was secmain i would just start a poll in the forums to see how many people want the ban removed. at this point he needs to measure his standing with the community to determine whether or not its even worth writing a proper appeal or waiting god knows how long is left of his long ass ban
>>1786017>but there is no way the devs wouldn't dehub it1. There are several types of custom servers from the ones that are just slightly modifying base code, through ones that try to get as close to 13 as possible up to conversions or even total conversions (like frontier, trieste, hullrot, fallout, and new one that is based around fantasy theme, plus ofc marines).
2. Considering that BYOND is constantly DDOSed, how is this any different when you need to either know the address (or at least name) of a server anyway?
I'm not denying that PJB and his clique are bunch of weirdos with superiority complex, but ignoring that there are forks is dumb to say the least.
Also dehubing is not the worst since client has support for multiple hubs and most of popular servers are publishing on more than one, the issue is possibility of disabling authorization.
bros wtf do i do when i log onto a server im playing 14 i join a game some fag talks to me at the desk adn i get a pda but then literally nothing? feel like im just running around aimlessly no matter what job I pick so I just try to rp with anyone that runs by me
how do i get guns and cause shenanigans and contribute etc?
>>1788723#1. Absolutely not, its ugly and gives me click delays.
#2. If I'm not forced into it (like I've seen many other servers do) then that's fine with me.
#3. Don't we already have this on the bottom left corner of the game window? I don't want this shoved to the top of my screen, its fine where it is.
#4. I'd like this, but don't limit it to just examinations. Give unique icons while throwing, kicking, biting, tackling, cuffed, in spacepods, in mechs, crawling/prone, etc.
#5. Like #2 this is fine for me as a toggle.
#6. TG say is again fine as a toggle. With TG examine we already have this with alt-click, and like what
>>1790404 says it should be a hassle to look through large quantities of items. Don't give it a search function.
Whatever you do please don't try to be like TG, I hate how homogeneous all the servers are these days.
While you are touching this, could you make the toprightmost tabs not open new windows but instead have their own frame inside the game like how the special tab for adminhelps works? It'd be more convenient to be able to access the map or wiki within the game than getting a popup into your browser or a new window.
>>1790394Goonstation, it's literally a server for gooners
>I would respond to "change for change's sake isn't an argument" with "inertia for inertia's sake isn't an argument".
Actually fuck off, holy shit. Every single time anyone says anything to shifty it's always this crying about how everyone is a luddite or mean because they dare to demand the one fucking thing required from changes, which is "explain why this is a good thing"
>>1790523>I'm not denying that PJB and his clique are bunch of weirdos with superiority complex, but ignoring that there are forks is dumb to say the least.I didn't deny there were forks. My point was it doesn't take much for the devs reach for the nuclear option. There was an attempt to port vgstation to SS14 and it was dehubbed before their first game night. Most of those forks you mentioned are either minigames or reskins of the base game.
> how is this any different when you need to either know the address (or at least name) of a server anyway?>the issue is possibility of disabling authorization.Because if you aren't on the hub and you don't have authorization you're basically crippled in growth.
Basically the choice is make a reskin of ss14, make a minigame or make a server for 7 people.
>>1791165>Because if you aren't on the hub and you don't have authorization you're basically crippled in growth. Wrong. De-hubing and de-auth are two different things, second one is considered nuclear option since players wont be get checked against the auth server so you have to allow guests in, you loosing the main premise of (pseudo)safety. First one may cripple your growth, but that depends how you getting your main playerbase anyway.
>it was dehubbed before their first game nightDid they even mention why?
>either minigames or reskins of the base gameNow I'm curious, what would you consider a "full" or "proper" fork then?
I'm currently implementing this for Space Station 14. The "persistent prisoners" idea

>>1791354Why does this post read like you have never played SS13?
>>1790942shifty wants us to be modern so bad but doesn't play often enough to understand why people dont want modern ss13 on the codebase.
>people tell him off>he throws a shitfit and gets people deadmin'd over it
>>1791442faggot commie discords that infest this game spill over with nolifes who only post here to shit on the playerbase because it's not troon controlled
>>1791442Because I'm new to SS13.

I literally started playing SS13 after SS14 because I wanted to see how other things that are not implemented yet work.

Why is our security such a joke these days? I can't begin to imagine how these retards would react to an actual clown. It's a good thing we mostly get mimes these days.
>>1793133>>No one asks for laws or orders me to stopWow that's funny because I definitely said "fucking stop" every time after the second
>>1793133I fucking asked you multiple times to stop you shitter
>>1793133Wait didn't you already get siliconbanned for not following law 2 orders ever
>>1791433prisoner roles in ss13 are always going to be nonsensical given the setting (why have permanent prisoners on a research station) and the fact that they have OOC limitations to not be able to murder and antagonize should they escape. Plus like, it's way more interesting (albeit rare) if there are groups of legitimate prisoners instead of a guy who wanted to play in perma daycare
>>1793142>>1793145Not him, but I just checked because I distinctly remember asking a human player to order the borgs to fuck off and it doesn't look like anyone ever told the borgs to stop that I could find. At least not literally with the words "stop" or "go away"
Next time a borg irritates you just order it to run 10 laps around the main hall or something.
Honestly, it's more humane to break the skull/amputate a limb of a tiding assistant and then dropping him in medbay to socialise with the doctors while they fix him instead of locking him in a lonely brig cell until he gets all bored/moody.
More forward thinking sec players should agree with my point of view on this matter.
>>1793140>>1793142I looked at the logs pretty closely in case I missed something but I found ZERO instances of someone ordering me or the other borg to stop.
You faggots need to learn how to communicate before you do this gay nigger anti-fun roundremoving bullshit. Otherwise you'll just get banned like Blinz and Squird.

>>1795941>Give Joey a chance>Gunks the stationThat's it man. I'm just beating this nigga to death if I see him as security
Being the only remaining doctor in a gunked station is kinda kino.
Ever since i updated my byond to 516 all the nanoUI windows have been zoomed in, is there any fix for that?
What type of updates do you think will drop in the next dragon universe wipe? I feel like last update was really small compared to the usual goals
I haven't played in like five years.
A cursory search has informed me that tg is trannied to the gills and that other servers aren't much better.
Has the infection spread to vg? Are the current admins okay or do they suck cock by choice?
What about the codebase, do you still get regular updates and features?
I mostly enjoyed low stress jobs like botany and librarian when I played.
>>1796331/vg/station is still alright. The codebase hasn't changed as much compared to other servers but it's been updated, and the admins can seem like ass when it comes to certain players but they aren't so bad compared to the most hub servers.
>>1793538>>1793747There are just people who will add and change features just for the sake of adding and changing features without any actual care about the game.
This is part of the reason why the TG codebase became so retarded, dozens of neverplayers were pushing their PRs just because.
It gets even worse when you have fags who think that contributing to SS13 servers will look good on their LinkedIn and resume because they're too autistic to realize no employers are going to give a shit about coding for some niche spessman game on their CV.
>>1796479If anything coding for ss13 is a red flag on your resume. I wouldn't want my employer to know I touched anything ss13 related unless I think they're cool enough on a personal level to share the server with
That's like telling your employer you're a mentally insane furry with no respect for your free time
>>1786017>I genuinely was considering making an SS14 server and learned the codebase, but seeing people get banned in the Discord for asking dumb questions when trying to get started and then seeing the head SS14 dev secretly recording people made me back out. >I have 0 hope for the game.I know the codebase pretty well and I am not happy with the way upstream SS14 is going so I'm in a similar boat. They are just outwardly incredibly controlling and paranoid. I think they genuinely do receive some harassment, but they reach for that word to describe what seems like basically any and all criticism. I don't think they should have the ability to de-hub servers just because they don't like them. Ideally, the SS14 launcher should baseline operate with BYOND rules like don't put insane shit in the name of your server. Also, don't do weird drama shit like fucking with people (doing shit outside of the game) and you'd be fine. I think certain things should be removed since they are immersion breaking and aren't conducive to RP. Seems like it's mostly just people roleplaying as their fursonas, which is a bit boring I think. If you're still somewhat interested in trying to make a fork, I'd want to talk to you more about it.
>>1797263>I don't think they should have the ability to de-hub servers just because they don't like themthe issue is that ss14 is spearheaded by autistic, left leaning trannies who care too much about image to let this game get smeared further, despite the fact that ss13/14 has a known stigma of having genuine mentally ill people, sociopaths and the worlds grossest coomers occupying it. they're either blind to it/willingly ignoring it. hell, according to some sources the entire dev team has been genuinely grooming the minors that stumble upon the game.
>>1797263I don't think anything could convince me into making a fork even if it's something I really really wanted to do. The code is the easy part. Building a playerbase is an absurd amount of effort. When I factor in that an authoritarian can just snap his fingers and make it like building an indie multiplayer game from scratch, then it's just not worth it.
>>1796331vg is the only server than in any way reflects the old days from a community perspective.
tg and the various forks are ok if you want to do your job and not interact with anyone

>>1802436You'll have to be more specific
>>1797364I'm very familiar with the people leading the project. I don't want to say too much but, I get it. I think there is SOME value in making an effort to work on the image of SS13 going into 14 to try and bring in more players. However, I do feel like they are scrubbing the soul out of the game, and that should not come at the expense of being more accessible. Personally, and I'm sure you /vg/station guys will shit on me for this, I understand, but I believe you can have the soul and fun of a server like /vg/ without actual real-world racism and shit. Like, SS14 bans speciesism outright whereas I think it can genuinely make for some funny RP moments/characters or whatever. Maybe encourage being creative instead of just hobomurdering randoms and screaming "LIGGERS LOL LIGGERS IT'S LIKE NIGGER BUT WITH AN L XD". But, Wizden doesn't even see this as an option. I dunno, I'm just rambling. The point is, I agree with you guys in regards to how they are handling the game, and I see a more hopeful way forward than just being authoritarian control freaks and (knowingly and intentionally) awkwardly injecting politically ideology overbearingly. I probably agree with them for the most part politically, but I don't agree with how they entangle the ideology into the game's core. Especially since they are building the base which everything will fork off.
>>1797404>I don't think anything could convince me into making a fork even if it's something I really really wanted to do. The code is the easy part. Building a playerbase is an absurd amount of effort. When I factor in that an authoritarian can just snap his fingers and make it like building an indie multiplayer game from scratch, then it's just not worth it.I completely get it, that's fair. Building a playerbase has got me feeling pretty bleak about it to. Worth a shot to ask though.
>>1803215>Like, SS14 bans speciesism outright whereas I think it can genuinely make for some funny RP moments/characters or whateverPeople really undersell how much this shows the SS14 devs hand. They aren't interested in making a fun game but a place where they can swing their dick around. I would opt into aliens just because it was a different experience to playing human. The alien mafia was real because it was a necessity, not because meta-friends want to group together. This basically doesn't exist in SS14, and a server that re-added it would immediately get on the SS14 devs shitlist. Not dehubbed but you are for sure closer to being dehubbed than someone who didn't readd it.
Copy+Paste this and apply it to literally any mechanic or new rule in the game.

If you don't want to hear people screaming racial slurs over comms then just play on a server whose rules prohibit that and let people who want to scream racial slurs over comms themselves play on servers which allow that. It's really that simple - who fucking cares what people on other servers do? I wouldn't touch furry/ERP/etc. servers with a ten-foot pole but I don't bitch about them or want them gone just for having rules that I dislike and that is the absolute least amount of courtesy that I expect in return.

I think you misunderstood or are boxing shadows because this is basically what I'm saying. I'm also talking about servers, not the game as a whole. For my own server, what I've said before is the stance I would want to have. I don't care if other servers have epic racism.
>>1803353These are pretty funny. Eye licker always gets me, skink is a good one too.
>>1803556>>not saying le gamer word is regulating behavior to an unreasonable extentyes it is. slippery slope aside, there's also the problem of player freedom. even good players will do disagreeable things on occasion and they really shouldnt have their balls stomped on for causing other players a minor inconvenience
imagine if you got banned for recalling the shuttle as an antag. is it an annoying and gay thing to do? yeah and it can ruin the round for a lot of people under certain circumstances. nevertheless the player should still have the right to act like a fag
there are some egregious examples that warrant action but typing out a word is not among them. the whole appeal of vg is that you can do whatever you want with some small limitations which allows creative and funny players to bring us kino rounds, some of which will be talked about for a very long time
>>1803659It's also worth noting that players can and will optimize all the fun out of any game. The tendency to go "Wow, I really don't like that! Can we nerf/ban/remove it from existence?" exists within us all. That's why we force jannies and coders alike to go through a long humiliation ritual before they're able to take such measures.

>>1804014all hail king of the losers
>>1803556There's a living example of you and the SS14 devs being completely wrong.
There's a server that regularly had +100 players even though it's invite only. It's the only case of a server that was blacklisted and still is huge even WITH gatekeeping. Admins don't enforce the rules Sec does. Sometimes Sec is corrupt. Instead of admins interrupting the round and making the players constantly worry about their presence, the players have to deal with a corrupt Sec. There are checks and balances so it isn't 1-sided, and if Sec is corrupt it actually makes them more vulnerable to rival powers.
You will never accomplish this level of RP with your mentality.
>>1804022not much; and that's probably because among all these rounds I consider to have experienced broadly everything /vg/station has to offer and only something a bit new and a bit fresh - an UI that doesn't look like Win98 for a start - would really draw me in again.
You might say "but old things are good, and new things are bad." I ask : what thing? I don't consider something like darb UIs (who are a technical nightmare to improve on) or a checklist-based RnD minigame or (for my old flame) an outdated laggy lighting system to be core components of the sovl of vg. I think our sovl is more in our admin style, our RP style, our public logs and player interactions (which I have no intentions to change)
it is true I've come to the point where it's funnier for me to just try to design something and get a dopamine rush from getting it to work (and hopefully getting it used) than to actually play the game. However you should remember that we're, in fact, not-TG and that I'm by no means an all-powerful collab here to ruin your game. I just want to make the UIs look less outdated.
>>1804260>I think our sovl is more in our admin style, our RP style, our public logs and player interactions (which I have no intentions to change)You hit the nail on the head. This is the only thing that makes vg playable.
Anyone who spams 'soul' for an outdated system where you tediously do the same per-determined motions every round is a delusional retard.

For second the GPS can't be as neat and responsive without TGUI. For third there's plenty of other stuff that could look much nicer and a robust React :tm: framework is needed for them.
Having, what, 4 different types of HTML interfaces (plain HTML/browser datums/NanoUI/TGUI) is pretty bad from an artistic standpoint. TGUI is the one with the most ressources. Although I would say that having a mix-and-match of techs and UIs does fit the NT decaying station aesthetic.

>>1804260>I consider to have experienced broadly everything /vg/station has to offer and only something a bit new and a bit fresh - an UI that doesn't look like Win98 for a start - would really draw me in againThe thing is that this is only a surface level visual change. There is no game systems that are changed with ditching BYOND UI. The awkward menu searching and navigation is still in the game, the looks while doing it have just been updated. It is a cheap, easy, but substance-less way to add change to this game that I feel like we should try to avoid. Its like remodeling or redecorating a house to look nicer instead of adding a new wing to it or building a shed in the backyard. Adding new sprites, clothes, items, and maps doesn't actually change the game as much as the recent fire additions we got here on /vg/ recently, or the ship to ship combat element that NSV adds, or the well planned (TG could learn from them) multi-z spaces baystation has, or the insane revisions the novelty servers themed after half-life, stalker, fallout, and colonial marines go through. Better graphics are nice (as well as debatable) but Id much rather have effort focused on giving me more interconnected game systems to roleplay with then a gun or medkit resprite.

HELP WANTED:
I am looking for a mapper or two for my low pop roguetown code project. The game takes place inside of a manor estate and involves thieves trying to steal treasures while avoiding getting caught by the guards or others. they have abilities such as disguises, smoke bombs, climbing ropes, etc.
The game is mostly ready for testing code wise, but my previous mapper burned out with the map in about a 50% completed state. I am a decent coder but I'm terrible at map design, so I need someone who has at least some mapping knowledge to push it past the finish line. I'll give you details on what needs to be done and how the game works if this sounds interesting to you.
This won't be a huge mapping project like most roguetown code. The playable area will be the manor itself (which has ~5 floors) and a small forest around it.

Good job.
>>1809036You don't get better unless you practice and get critiqued. What is your antag idea?
>>1809744Here is my antag idea
>>1809744Some guy on a satellite/shuttle away from station coordinating other antags, the more antag objectives are completed the more powerful he gets, culminating in crashing into the station.
Problem is that it is asking a player on a med/highpop round to do an admin's jobs, mediated through IC tools (so more friction), while not actually playing the videogame for 50% of the round (up to 100% if the antags dont play along, which we have no way to ensure due to antag freedom)
>>1809889The main problem with this is that the game is designed for chat ERPers and not as a video game, so everyone wants to get in the round as soon as possible and they hang out in deadchat when they are not alive.
By itself the antag would be fine. It could just be a role for someone who dies. You died and you can't play the game anymore, so here is an antag role that gives you stuff to do. It would work.
What makes it not work is that everyone in deadchat sees what you are doing and your existence reveals who the other antags are and fags will 100% abuse that knowledge.
As the game stands now the best and only antags that work are the kind of antags who don't reveal their existence until the round ends. Traitors are the best, no one will ever know you are a traitor until you make yourself known.
Having a guy on the mic going ''hey, antag commander here, changeling go absorb that guy and cult go set up a base in cargo'' would suck. It can't work in an ERPers bar chatroom game.
>>1809889I had a sort of similar idea for a game mode ages ago.
One player would've been a Solid Snake like character, the other is an Otacon like character.
The Otacon character would hack into things remotely, buy better equipment, control drones, call in favors (activate sleeper agents/mid round antagonists, have bombs 'planted' (spawned) in remote areas.), ect.
The Snake character wouldn't have worked at all because there wasn't a single server that had vision cones back then.
I would imagine that most people who rolled the Otacon character would have probably just killed themselves.
>>1809036>i'm not a game designeryou really dont need to be. the only "game designer" in this server is deity and he turned cult into the most hated gamemode
>>1809894I happen to disagree, ss13 is actually more of a videogame than an ERP chatroom
People dont like being taken out of the round, dont like having any sort of obligation towards the game/other players.
I actually dont think ghost knoweldge is the main barrier to game design in ss13. Most people play along relatively well and the ones who dont get slapped by admins relatively easily. The main barrier imo is that any form of complex plan or coordination is almost impossible to achieve in game because no two rounds are similar.
The game is basically a set of players living in their own islands and the best thing you can do as a dev is to give them some tools to play in the sand with vague nudges towards cooperation and/or interactions.
It's a very difficult game to design for. Usually you want to design around a player story (e. g "I am a Botanist and I need some chemicals from Chemistry to make the epic plants for the chef") but players routinely refuse to play along those stories, or those stories end up being too complex to execute properly, or they're so basic and annoying people saw them a million times already.
The player stories that work the best are the ones where you respect player agency and which interact with other elements of the game e. g :
"I am a nuke ops who need to fight the crew to make the station explode"
"I am a greyshitter who is here to play cat and mouse with sec"
"I am a traitor who is here to ruin everyone's day"
"I am a bartender who wants to build a nice bar for a screencap"
IE vague objectives with as much tools as possible to get the desired result

>>1809889TG has a ghost role where you are syndie in a satellite space vault. While an antag of the sort will probably be boring, a ghost spawner like we have for hobos might be a good spot for it. Will definitely make the syndie encryption key more sought after if implemented well.
>>1810504Dunno if TG has it in the same fashion as BeeStation, but on Bee there is also alternative where that base/outpost is located on lavaland, and you can actually reach it, from RP perspective seems like fun idea.
Of course if you decide to spawn as such "spy" you will have huge red text stating that you are not allowed to leave that base.

Hate how large junglecolony feels. At times it seems like it is double the size of a normal station. The underground is also terribly boring, literally just corridors with empty dead end rooms.
>>1810850That isn't revision anon. Everyone working on roid was established and known mappers + contributors when it was announced. Sure it was shat on a lot, but Jungle was made by some random dude who clearly hasn't played anything other than atmos tech. This simply should have just been an extremely rough first draft showcase but according to the discord, the mapper lied about the progress on it and suggested it get used for Grugstation and it was absolutely nowhere close to playable.
To be honest "jungle" (forest) is so huge I kinda wish that was the gimmick, also the sprites make it look like a fucking forest.

>>1815057because (((they)))'ve all been taking turns DDoSing byond and don't want it to stop: furry erp servers like DU hoping to force lummox's hand and get hubless auth, PJB trying to groom players off ss13 and into ss14, lummox pulling an inside job for patreon gibs, and the slopper exploring new outlets to xer autisic grudge whenever a janny does his job and denies xer shitposting sprees here
source: search your heart, you know it to be true
our best hope is to wait for the dragonball universe cabal to make a move, they're the real movers and shakers when it comes to BYOND politics, and can't possibly be too happy about DU stepping into their monopoly.
Ddossing BYOND is byond based

i dont get it, i have never had a problem logging into byond or connecting to vg
is the """ddos""" some new schizo psyop?
this isn't even schizo babble but the ddosers are the lead tranny team from ss14 ddosing byond to try to force more people to ss14 where they're in charge

>>1784189can you elaborate?
>>1815063DU? Dragon Universe or you mean some other ss13 server
>>1815057>>1815063Lummox either just doesn't care that much about BYOND or is so broke and overworked that he can't really do anything about it. It's not like BYOND rakes in cash and most games and communities are still functional without the hub.
>>1817217I can't imagine wizden actually wanting more SS13 players on SS14 since the playerbases are becoming more and more distinct, very few people actually play both and I seem to hear more about SS14 players coming to check out SS13 rather than SS13 players leaving for SS14. Even major, kosher SS13 servers have a different administration and development culture to SS14. At best it's being done to stop new players from joining SS13. Any SS13 bigwig server moving to SS14 will inevitably want to do things their way and piss off the tranny control freaks in SS14, even if the SS13 newcomers are trannies themselves.
>>1817056If you were already logged in before the DDoS your login should be saved, it's only an issue for new or returning players who need to connect the the BYOND website and auth servers.
>>1820099>If you were already logged in before the DDoS your login should be savedi logged in yesterday
>>1820123The DDoS does stop every so often so maybe you just got in then. I just checked and the website and hub are currently down
Id give a screenshot, but it would be of about 6 floor tiles and a wall. How did the entire station excluding a few corners get completely erased
>>1782058If this is still going I'd be curious to know what engine or language and libraries you are using
>>1805942Very common with amateur game developers... they tell people they're starting some big project then never make any progress on it. I remember reading something that people who tell other people that they're going to start working towards some big goal end up less likely to do it because it kind of frontloads the sense of accomplishment. Better to wait until you've made a lot of progress to actually start showing to people.
>>1809180Still looking for at least 1 more person for this. I have 1 mapper on board but he's going to need help.
>>1804821you're right, i should try and sprite something

>Begging for money>Refusing to try any solutions whasoever.>Refusing to update his users.>Dismissing all advice . After all, the only way to help is by giving him money!He's either the biggest retard to ever host a server or this is some kind of scam.

It has been 2 months now, is Lummox just planning on waiting out the attack? Can't they speak with their server host support or do they need a higher tier of cloudflare?

Reminder as antag you do not play this game to "win". Antags exist to freshen up the round and provide fun.
If you keep recalling the shuttle and acting like a shitter you are not being a le epic troll and dabbing on the crew proving your superiority, you're just being an asshole. No its not "unfair", no it's not "powergaming" or "metagrudging". No one likes an asshole, you are not winning the game. If anything you just get banned.
With the DDoS going on and there being a very slim chance returning players can even connect during this time, is there any plan to potentially revive the /vg/13.5 or /vg/14 forks?
>>1823882very relevant considering this round
>>1823882if i kill everyone and i survive and escape i win
>>1823901do guest accounts still work if enabled server side?
>>1824000I have no idea. The only reason I've gained any interest in SS14 (and UnityStation) is because of the current BYOND DDoS.
>>1823901probably not because it was met with a lukewarm reception. too many features are missing and they're relying too much on other codebases to get things to a "playable" state. you'd be foolish to think any of the coders who were working on it have the same drive or energy as the old coders.

>>1823901>With the DDoS going on and there being a very slim chance returning players can even connect during this time, is there any plan to potentially revive the /vg/13.5 or /vg/14 forks?You can still join directly from the /vg/station site even if the hub is down. The loading screen might give you the error message that normally would show if the server was down, but if you wait a minute or so it should still connect.

>>1827958Monkey has the worst fucking jannies in this entire game
>>1828056people who play with the mindset of a 15 year old and treat the station like their own personal playground gets boring after awhile. you develop assistant fatigue and move on to another server.
>>1827958Strange how those admins seem to think ERP means anything depicting nudity and not limiting it to cybersex. Has the term been changing to the more board definition?
>>1828063>people who play with the mindset of a 15 year old and treat the station like their own personal playground gets boring after awhileThis thread had a server called boomerstation. It was all veterans. Everyone did their job perfectly. There was minimal fuckups, no grey shitters and no trolls. Antags cleanly did their objectives with minimal damage.
It was the most boring server I have ever played.
>>1828114>Jannies broaden the definition of a rule so they can easier get the quick dopamine hit of reprimanding someoneHow long have you been playing this game?
>>1828056>as an assistant its not your job to hack doors and steal shitwell, i mean, is the admeme wrong here?
have you actually assisted anyone lately?
>>1826219Good to know... if I can ever log into BYOND.
>>1828239>have you actually assisted anyone lately?but i did have breakfast this morning
>>1828063>>1828239it gets worse, what got me banned was hacking into tech storage to steal the yellow glubbs but someone beat me to it so I just grabbed an RPED and parts, a faggot player saw me and called security, when sec arrived I just told them that I wanted some spare parts and the secoff didnt even want to arrest me since it was such a non offense, a janny got involved and banned me probably because the other guy bitched to the admins
>>1829158I remember a long time ago (I can't remember what server it was.) I got killed by some random guy. I didn't even care, but some other guy got really angry on my behalf and reported it to an admin even though I insisted I didn't give a shit.
>>1829158>what got me banned was hacking into tech storage to steal the yellow glubbsThis is extra retarded because on tg forks as botanist it is pretty much mandatory to either steal the extra chem dispenser from medical or break into tool storage to get a chem board so you can build your own. If you don't do this you have to grow your own mutagen which takes at least 15-20 minutes based on RNG. Unless you want to constantly ask chem for mutagen, which will annoy the shit out of them and they will probably ignore you anyways. You also need to hack the seed dispenser to get access to all the seeds, which means insulated gloves or getting help from engy (good fucking luck). It's mandatory to circumvent the system, because no one ever wants to cooperate either out of selfishness or just incompetence.
The SS14 devs talked extensively about adding more shitty mechanics like this where the job is impossible to do unless you can get another person in another department to push a button for you, which is why I refuse to ever play that game.
>>1829264>The SS14 devs talked extensively about adding more shitty mechanics like this where the job is impossible to do unless you can get another person in another department to push a button for you, which is why I refuse to ever play that game.Lifeweb did this but you couldn't as easily ignore people as you could in SS13. In Lifeweb the players would eventually just break in, kill you and replace you with someone who can do the job. The entire concept of the Lifeweb itself makes it so that the weak links get purged. On SS13 you would get banned for doing this unless it's vg.
Even if you were the gatekeeper and you killed migrants instead of letting them in, then they would harass you as ghosts and potentially kill you that way. Being a dick or incompetent always had a way to bite you in the ass that simply doesn't exist in SS13 or SS14.

Might be like 10, or 16
Children are basically assistant equivalents and almost every "department" has a child role
>one highpop round of the day
>admins push buttons
>>1829841It wasn't in the game when I played tg the most, so I didn't know about it and it wasn't an option back then. Even then you still need to break into tech storage or chem for mutagen unless they made it really easy to mutate plants without it.
>>1830850>vg copes constantly about how boring rounds should be solved by players or admins>Players that opt into the village idiot role will get banned inevitably from people whining on the thread>Admins don't press buttons unless it isn't needed
>>1829842it looks pretty kino, i guess ill check it out since i havent heard much bad stuff about it
vg should add kids but they're too pozzed for it
>>1831131/vg/ cannot add kids. you know the usual suspects would use it as another way to do their weird shit.
>>1831118You can just grind up uranium, it works a lot like unstable mutagen but hurts the plant more
Irrelevant if you just want to mutate it fast though
Theres also mutagen in the vending machine if you hack it
Honestly i dont really use either, i usually just use l4z and then somatoray, l4z doesnt hurt the plant and its not that slow to get mutation up if you load the tray with it since it works per unit
>>1831119Button pressing needs good timing. Admin needs to observe the current situation and figure out how many people are just going through the motions at that point. But it's meant to reinvigorate the round, not always bring it to an end, thus the best button presses are not very destructive on their own. It's a difficult skill to learn.

>>1831910>what is the appeal of the server?>uhhh we say le nigger there! and muh trannies!!!no thanks
come back when you have content and a community that isn't pathetic losers
>>1831910hey retard what website do you think you're on
>>1831254not like you can erp anyway, i think itd be fun
>>1832187but enough about /vg/
>>1831910You guys need more content.
>>1832195There have been tons of servers shilled on this board before it became rejects from vg that got laughed off their board.
>>1832243They will never get content. The host insists on using an ancient codebase. They wouldn't add anything substantial. Not that they could.
>>1831333>You can just grind up uranium, it works a lot like unstable mutagen but hurts the plant moreI should've experimented with that. It might've been viable.
>Theres also mutagen in the vending machine if you hack itThis for sure was not a thing when I played.
>Honestly i dont really use either, i usually just use l4z and then somatoray, l4z doesnt hurt the plant and its not that slow to get mutation up if you load the tray with it since it works per unitI would use l4z to mutate towards plants that had all the components for mutagen, and then grinded up into mutagen. It took too long. The server would always go to shit before I could get to the main plants I wanted.
>>1832322>I would use l4z to mutate towards plants that had all the components for mutagen, and then grinded up into mutagen. It took too long. The server would always go to shit before I could get to the main plants I wanted.You want to use l4z to mutate the plant to get the samples you need for the science experiment to get the somatoray
Sci will research it after you give them the discount unless they are bald or retarded
Then use your funny guns to quickly mutate whatever you want
>>1832456I vaguely remember that gun. There was an autist botanist on kiwistation that used it heavily. I remember this guy would always turn himself into a plant person then plant kudza everywhere. This was way after I played botanist on tg, so I never used it personally.
>>1832498It's let's you instantly mutate plants and pick the mutation from the list
Also increase yields and instability iirc? I only really use the instant mutation functionality
But it's really good
Honestly i wonder how did tg not remove it like the plant DNA machine since tg maintainers love to "balance" by making shit random, tedious and annoying.
remember that pathological liar weirdo nervere
i wonder what community shes infiltrated now
>>1832314>The host insists on using an ancient codebaseYou're implying modern servers have lots of content, which is patently false.
So is there any way to play the game if I need to update byond?
>>1832938if you are already logged in with an old byond version, you can just download byond 516 and webview2 to start playing
>>1832884True for VG but not TG.
>>1832976I'm on version 515.1640 at the moment.
Where should I download byond 516 while the site is down?
>>1833091please elaborate
>>1833117There are anons just a few posts up talking about all the stuff TG added to botany alone within a few years. Every job, every mechanic, every system has way more content. For everything they cut that the players (rightfully) complain about the devs added 10 other things in its place. Even TG from 5 years ago has more content than VG in every regard.
All the complaints about TG are due to nerfs or retarded admins, but no one in their right minds would say it's due to a dearth of content. Especially compared to VG.
>>1833105use wayback machine
>>1833162When I said elaborate, what I really meant was give examples to us comparing specific game systems from tg to vg and how tg builds upon them into something more interactive as a whole. All you give here is one example that is more of a completely changed system rather than an expansive one.
>decide to play as captain
>attempt to try to actually improve the station
>get in a massive shootout in medbay where all of security, the monkey I made hop, and the CE were involved where I didnt know who was loyal or evil
>end up having to execute several of my own men
Fun round
>>1833162the nerf's to almost every system in my opinion just kills a lot of the fun. Many antag tools are borderline worthless, many systems are annoying or overly restrictive for normal use, and grudge code is rife. It feels like there is substantially less player freedom compared to what TG code was nearly a decade go.
It should also be noted their medbay code with the except of augments from chem to surgery and everything inbetween is absolute garbage across the board
>>1833178Well shit, I didn't know wayback machine would keep downloads Thanks.
