<h2>Overview</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Space Station 13 was written for BYOND. Like many BYOND games, it is two
|
|
dimensional with a top down view and runs terribly. It uses tile-based
|
|
movement. Space Station 13 (or SS13 for short) starts you on a space station
|
|
orbiting a very peculiar gaseous planet in a binary star system. Each round
|
|
type is centred around a specific type of disaster, ranging from a meteor
|
|
shower to a traitor within the crew. The game is constantly being developed,
|
|
so new modes are added all the time!
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<a name="objectives"></a>
|
|
<h2>Objectives</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The primary objective in most modes of Space Station 13 is survival. You must
|
|
try to stay alive long enough to escape on the evacuation shuttle. This
|
|
doesn't mean you should immediately rush to the escape dock and wall yourself
|
|
in; half the fun is in trying to keep the station running for as long as
|
|
possible. Exactly how you do this is up to you and your assigned job.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<a name="modes"></a>
|
|
<h2>Modes</h2>
|
|
|
|
<a name="mode_blob"></a>
|
|
<h3>Blob</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
A deadly mutagenous virus has been released and the crew must fight a green
|
|
mass for control of the station. The blob spreads quickly, and only the
|
|
sacred welder can fight it back! (Unless it spawns in the engine and dies
|
|
instantly.)
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>PROTIP: USE A WELDER</b>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<a name="mode_traitor"></a>
|
|
<h3>Traitor</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
In traitor mode there is a traitor aboard the space station!!! The traitor is
|
|
assigned a random objective, from escaping alone to stealing the captain's
|
|
jumpsuit. The objective of everyone else is to stop the traitor and survive!
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<a name="mode_meteor"></a>
|
|
<h3>Meteor</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
In Meteor, the station is threatened by a meteor shower. The objective is to
|
|
do your best to repair and maintain the station, and eventually escape.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<a name="mode_monkey"></a>
|
|
<h3>Monkey</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
In Monkey mode a deadly mutagenous virus has been released and the crew must
|
|
fight small underdeveloped primates for control of the station. The monkey's
|
|
bite is deadly, and anyone bitten will soon join the primate horde.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>PROTIP: ELECTRIC GRILLES ARE PRETTY DANGEROUS.</b>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<a name="mode_nuclear"></a>
|
|
<h3>Nuclear Emergency</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
A crack team of Syndicate operatives have assaulted the station in order to
|
|
gather a nuclear activation key. If found, the team will detonate a NUCLEAR
|
|
BOMB and the station will be destroyed! The team must escape with the nuclear
|
|
activation key while fighting off the syndicate.
|
|

|
<b>PROTIP: IF YOU KILL A MEMBER OF THE SYNDICATE STEAL HIS STUFF.</b>

|
<a name="getting_around"></a>
|
|
<h2>Getting Around</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The interface for Space Station 13 is largely click driven. To use something,
|
|
you will almost always click or double click.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<a name="getting_started"></a>
|
|
<h2>Getting Started</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<i>(A Quick jump-start guide to get into the game)</i>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Select your preferences using the character setup command and then use ready
|
|
to enter the game.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you do this after the game has started you will spawn as an assistant;
|
|
otherwise, a vague guide to the jobs you may choose follows.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<a name="jobs"></a>
|
|
<h2>Jobs</h2>
|
|
|
|
<a name="job_assistant"></a>
|
|
<h3>Assistant</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
You'll spawn as this if you enter after a game has started. Assistants have a
|
|
very low-access ID card, and really nothing else. They don't however have any
|
|
duties, so this can be a pretty good way to learn the layout of the station
|
|
if you join midway through a round. It's really not worth choosing this,
|
|
though.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<a name="job_atmospheric"></a>
|
|
<h3>Atmospheric Technician</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This involves looking after the atmospheric systems on the station, as you
|
|
can probably guess. In theory, you'll be checking the air composition of the
|
|
station with an analyzer and making sure that it's not going to kill people.
|
|
In reality, you'll be cleaning up the constant gas spills caused by griefers
|
|
and the traitor via use of the pipe filters in the maintenance tunnel (which
|
|
are pretty self-explanatory) and the portable filters that are around the
|
|
station and in Atmospheric Storage. This is probably the easiest job for a
|
|
new player, so jump in as this and getting a feel for the station layout and
|
|
the basic workings of the game before you try anything else.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<a name="job_doctor"></a>
|
|
<h3>Medical Doctor</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Pretty much self explanatory. Grab a Medkit, and either patrol the station
|
|
treating the gassed/beaten crewmembers who will be lying around within 20
|
|
minutes of any game starting or stay in Medical and heal the people who get
|
|
dragged in. More advanced medical is explained in weasello's guide below.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<a name="job_engineer"></a>
|
|
<h3>Station Engineer</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This can be one of the more technical jobs, but it doesn't take a huge amount
|
|
of time to learn. Basically, the Engineers handle the engine itself (which
|
|
involves keeping it fed with plasma, igniting it, and so on.) and the repair
|
|
of the station. Weasello's stuff has a reasonably good guide to the basics of
|
|
this, and you should be able to work the rest out by jumping on one of the
|
|
empty servers and tinkering about for twenty minutes or so. This isn't a bad
|
|
place to start, but messing up with the engines can kill every single person
|
|
on the station so be fucking careful.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<a name="job_security"></a>
|
|
<h3>Security Officer</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Open your locker, grab a stun baton and then patrol the station and hit
|
|
people. That's it.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>PROTIP: KILLING PEOPLE OR BEING A DICK WILL GET YOU BANNED.</b>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<a name="job_scientist"></a>
|
|
<h3>Scientist</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Scientists are essentially the bombmakers. Weasello's guide has a reasonably
|
|
complex explanation of what you're supposed to do here, but basically you'll
|
|
be heating plasma and assembling bomb circuitry. Security and the AI will
|
|
almost certainly be keeping a close eye on you if you choose to do this, so
|
|
I'd you play around a bit with Atmos and get some experience before trying
|
|
this.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<a name="job_forensic"></a>
|
|
<h3>Forensic Technician</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Seriously, don't bother with this. It's arguably the most boring job of all,
|
|
and can be one of the most annoying to get to grips with. Forensic Techs take
|
|
fingerprints from people and objects and check them against their records.
|
|
That's pretty much it. With the relatively short length of games on the goon
|
|
server, this isn't really worth doing in itself, as any security man can be a
|
|
Forensic Tech if needed.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<a name="job_geneticist"></a>
|
|
<h3>Geneticist</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This is pretty much the most complex job on the station. Don't touch this
|
|
until you've played for a while. Geneticists can directly edit the DNA of
|
|
other players and monkeys, and as such can bring people back to life, change
|
|
their skin colour, or turn a human into a monkey or vice versa. It's all far
|
|
too complex and annoying to be worth typing out here. There's probably a more
|
|
complex guide for this around, go find it if you REALLY want to do this.
|
|

<a name="job_chaplain"></a>
|
|
<h3>Chaplain</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
AARHGFHGHGH I FUCKING LOVE TO PRAY
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<a name="job_head_research"></a>
|
|
<h3>Head of Research</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The Head of Research essentially administers Medical and Toxins research and
|
|
has an ID-card with quite high access. This isn't really a good choice at all
|
|
for a new player as it implies a degree of experience with the game.
|
|
Practically, you'll be helping out Toxins and Medical and occasionally being
|
|
attacked for your ID card.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<a name="job_head_personnel"></a>
|
|
<h3>Head of Personnel</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This one really is only for players with a little bit of experience. The Head
|
|
of Personnel is in charge of Security and managers the positions of the
|
|
people on the station; they have access to the personnel records and can edit
|
|
the ID cards and thus positions of crewmembers as they wish. They also start
|
|
next to a locker which contains a laser pistol, which can be useful for a
|
|
traitor or in self defense. Traitors will often target the HoP for his ID
|
|
card and special equipment, as well.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<a name="job_ai"></a>
|
|
<h3>AI</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Don't do this. It carries a huge amount of power as well as massive
|
|
limitations, as the AI is bound by Asimov's laws. The AI can control any of
|
|
the electrical systems on the station, including the air supply, engine blast
|
|
doors and power. Making a stupid mistake as the AI will very possibly kill
|
|
several people, so stay away from this until you have a little bit of
|
|
experience with the game.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<a name="job_captain"></a>
|
|
<h3>Captain</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Self explanatory. An all-access ID card, total power over the crew, guns and
|
|
a personal teleporter. ABSOLUTELY DO NOT DO THIS UNTIL YOU HAVE SOME
|
|
EXPERIENCE WITH THE GAME OR YOU WILL PISS OFF OTHER PLAYERS.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<a name="movement"></a>
|
|
<h2>Movement</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Movement on SS13 is only in the 4 cardinal directions. The diagonal
|
|
directions throw/drop items, switch hand/modes. If you move into a dense
|
|
object you first try to push it. Not all items can be pushed. You can also
|
|
right click on an object and select 'pull' and then every movement you make
|
|
will ttempt to drag that object behind you. If you wish to stop pulling you
|
|
must go onto your on-screen display and find the object with a person in a
|
|
box. Click on it and you will stop pulling. If you ever desire to make sure
|
|
of which direction you are facing use .center and then try to move what
|
|
direction you want to face.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<a name="equipping"></a>
|
|
<h2>Equipping</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
You 'equip' items in SS13 by picking them up. In order to pick an item up all
|
|
you must do is attack it with a free hand. Now you hae two hands. Which hand
|
|
is being used is indicated by the blue button in the lower-left area of your
|
|
HUD. You can change hands by clicking the hand button or pressing the
|
|
.northeast macro. You can then also then transfer that item to another part
|
|
of your body. In order to do this you just attack the green box (or blue
|
|
storage box) on your hud that you would like to move it to. In order to
|
|
'unequip' a equipped item that is not in your hand. Get a free hand and
|
|
attack the item. Then in order to drop an item in your hand (and make it a
|
|
free hand again) click the drop button (or throw to throw the item wherever
|
|
you are facing).
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<a name="talking"></a>
|
|
<h2>Talking</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Talking on SS13 is still via the say verb so the normal say speech bubble on
|
|
the command line will still work. Please note however that you can whisper.
|
|
More on this in the items selection under radio, intercoms, and headsets.
|
|
There are a lot of emotes that are accessed by preceding your text with a
|
|
'*'. To view a list of available emotes for your character use the type
|
|
'*help' into the say menu. To speak via your headset use a semicolon after
|
|
say.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<a name="takegive"></a>
|
|
<h2>Taking Items / Giving Items</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
You can take items from people by dragging their mob onto your mob. A screen
|
|
will pop up. From this screen you can select an object to remove from them.
|
|
If you select a 'Nothing' slot then you will attempt to equip that slot with
|
|
the object you are holding.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<a name="death"></a>
|
|
<h2>Death</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you are dead then you can use the watch verb to look through the eyes of
|
|
another mob. Depending on circumstances you can use abandon mob to restart
|
|
(leaving that box blank gives you a random name). A dead person hears
|
|
everything that is said but might not hear all attack messages.
