elly1989@rocketmail.com bebf4983f8 Removed the toggle_gravity_on() and toggle_gravity_off() verbs and moved them into a single toggle in the FUN section of the secrets panel.
Likewise, removed the spawn_xeno verb and made an equivalent bit of code in the FUN section of the secrets panel.
Fixed the create_xeno proc. It was supposed to ask you which type of alien to spawn but it was sending the popup to src, which should have been usr.
Create_xeno can now spawn queens and larva.
Create_xeno is fed a ckey (optional) rather than a ghost mob. Which will make it more versatile and reliable should clients log out during popups and such.

Created an client.is_afk(duration) proc. If the client has been inactive for duration frames (11 frames is roughly 1 second), it will return the number of frames it has been inactive. Otherwise it returns 0. If no duration value is given it defults to 3000 which is roughly 5 minutes. There's a bunch of code I need to replace with this which I will do after I've got the rest of the admin rank stuff finished as that takes priority.

tgstation13 v1.0 - 6 October 2010

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

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
