First, you'll need -BYOND installed. You can get it from http://www.byond.com/. Once you've done -that, extract the game files to wherever you want to keep them. This is a -sourcecode-only release, so the next step is to compile the server files. -Open tgstation.dme by double-clicking it, open the Build menu, and click -compile. This'll take a little while, and if everything's done right you'll get -a message like this: - -saving tgstation.dmb (DEBUG mode) - -tgstation.dmb - 0 errors, 0 warnings - -If you see any errors or warnings, something has gone wrong - possibly a corrupt -download or the files extracted wrong. - -Once that's done, open up the config folder. You'll want to edit config.txt to -set the probabilities for different gamemodes in Secret and to set your server -location so that all your players don't get disconnected at the end of each -round. It's recommended you don't turn on the gamemodes with probability 0, -except Extended, as they have various issues and aren't currently being tested, -so they may have unknown and bizarre bugs. Extended is essentially no mode, and -isn't in the Secret rotation by default as it's just not very fun. - -You'll also want to edit admins.txt to remove the default admins and add your -own. "Game Master" is the highest level of access, and the other recommended admin -levels for now are "Game Admin" (a little below host) and "Moderator". The format is - -byondkey - Rank - -where the BYOND key must be in lowercase and the admin rank must be properly -capitalised. There are a bunch more admin ranks, but these three should be -enough for most servers, assuming you have trustworthy admins. - -Finally, to start the server, run Dream Daemon and enter the path to your -compiled tgstation.dmb file. Make sure to set the port to the one you -specified in the config.txt, and set the Security box to 'Safe'. Then press GO -and the server should start up and be ready to join. - -================================================================================ -UPDATING -================================================================================ - -To update an existing installation, first back up your /config and /data folders -as these store your server configuration, player preferences and banlist. - -Then, extract the new files (preferably into a clean directory, but updating in -place should work fine), copy your /config and /data folders back into the new -install, overwriting when prompted except if we've specified otherwise, and -recompile the game. Once you start the server up again, you should be running -the new version. - -================================================================================ -SQL Setup -================================================================================ - -The SQL backend for the library, karma system and stats tracking requires a -MySQL server. Your server details go in /config/dbconfig.txt, and the SQL -schema is in /SQL/tgstation_schema.sql. More detailed setup instructions are -coming soon, for now ask in our IRC channel. \ No newline at end of file +Based on the code of tgstation13, itself based on the code of goonstation13. +tgstation13 - http://code.google.com/p/tgstation13 \ No newline at end of file
