It is now fully implemented, though I might continue work on it (especially with all the bugs no doubt present in the code). To turn on wizards spawning with an spellbook that gives object spells as opposed to verb spells, uncomment the FEATURE_OBJECT_SPELL_SYSTEM line in config.txt For the end user, the vanilla (without spell var editing) wizard, the only two differences are having to click spells to use them (not being able to right-click stuff and cast spells that way or type them in the command line) and having a nice little countdown for a spell's recharge time. Changelog It is now less horribly blue on white and more nicely black on white. git-svn-id: http://tgstation13.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@1381 316c924e-a436-60f5-8080-3fe189b3f50e
tgstation13 v1.0 - 6 October 2010 Website: http://tgstation13.servehttp.com Code: http://code.google.com/p/tgstation13 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 goonstation.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 goonstation.dmb (DEBUG mode) goonstation.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. Host is the highest level of access, and the other recommended admin levels for now are Coder (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 goonstation.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.
