elly1989@rocketmail.com 86effe3429 ghosts now have stat=DEAD so certain verbs don't break.
replaced canweaken and canstun variables with status_flags bitfield. Current flags are CANWEAKEN CANSTUN CANPARALYSE. Although you could add stuff like CANDAMAGE, CANBLIND, CANDEAFEN etc. to add additional flexibility to mob code and reduce on duplication.

Added humans_need_surnames as a config option. If when spawning  a human has only one name it will give them a random surname. I'd recommend leaving it on so that people can't name themselves "floor" "Unknown" etc.

totally removed autolowercasing of names (except for first letter) due to people pestering me. inb4 everyone starts CRUISECONTROLLING.

allowed a few characters like @ # etc for when the flag allow_numbers is set. So AIs can use those symbols (numbers and symbols cannot be used as the first character because of syntax.

Added alium nests. They're basically beds that only aliums can use. They are made of sticky resin which aliums secure their prey too for sexytimes.

Weed nodes are no longer dense.

Tidied up some alium verbs so that they are more structured. This will allow me to add Alt-Click neurotoxin shooting for queens and sentinels

Queens can secrete resin now to build nests/walls/membranes (doors to come!)
Drones that evolve into queens when there is already a live Queen will become princesses instead so the hive can tell them how stupid they are for splitting from the will of the hive. It also gives them a number so they can be differentiated between.

Credits to 39kk9t for fixing larva/death.dm, hissing which I forgot to do and some of the alium verbs. You're awesome <3

tgstation13 v1.0 - 6 October 2010



Website: http://nanotrasen.com

Code: https://github.com/tgstation/-tg-station

IRC: irc://irc.rizon.net/tgstation13



================================================================================

INSTALLATION

================================================================================



First-time installation should be fairly straightforward.  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 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.



================================================================================

IRC Bot Setup

================================================================================



Included in the SVN is an IRC bot capable of relaying adminhelps to a specified IRC channel/server (thanks to Skibiliano)

Instructions for bot setup are included in the /bot/ folder along with the bot/relay script itself
