'''MetaStation''' is a largely complete work-in-progress map available in the /tg/ code, mainly intended for the odd use by admins to spice up rounds. It has been play-tested briefly, and is stable for general use, though some changes are planned to improve gameplay. Feedback is very much encouraged and has been used to mold what the map has become, post [http://forums.nanotrasen.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=12512 in this thread] if you what to change what it becomes in future.
'''[[MetaStation]]''' is a fully-functioning map available on the bee codebase. It was previously the default map on the /tg/ servers Badger and later Basil, and various edited versions have run on NoxStation, /vg/, and Paradise Station.  
 
 
'''Notable differences are that:'''
* It is more open, and harder to play for traitors (for now).
* The AI is also more vulnerable, but is next to security for safety.
* The two above points give more power to the masses. Beware cultists and revolutionaries.
* The maintenance tunnels are less extensive than those in vanilla-/tg/ (for now).
* It is a bit larger than vanilla-/tg/, and plays best with a population of at least 30 or so.
* The escape shuttle is larger, with a cargo hold to encourage players to bring any new or valuable equipment back to CentComm.
* Most rooms and departments are largely as they are in the vanilla-/tg/ map, but rearranged to keep things fresh.
* All other z-levels are the same as vanilla.

About

MetaStation is a fully-functioning map available on the bee codebase. It was previously the default map on the /tg/ servers Badger and later Basil, and various edited versions have run on NoxStation, /vg/, and Paradise Station.

MetaStation ran on Basil for a long time and has been tested extensively, being generally well received. It used to be largely maintained and updated by Metacide, though it uses the work of many others, and has been worked on by various other people who have updated and maintained the map over its history.

Key points to note are that:

  • It is geared towards higher populations than some other maps.
  • Key areas are more evenly spread to reduce local overcrowding.
  • It feels much more open, attacks in public are harder to get away with.
  • It has a large maintenance system covering most of the station, useful for stealthier tactics.
  • There are in-game maps and direction signposts on the walls of the station to help you find your way.
  • The escape shuttle has more seats, a large cargo bay, and larger medbay, brig, and bridge.

Further info regarding MetaStation is often posted in this thread on the /tg/ forums, with feedback also welcome there.

Notes

  • It is geared towards higher populations than BoxStation.
  • Key areas are more evenly spread to reduce local overcrowding.
  • It feels much more open, attacks in public are harder to get away with.
  • It has a large maintenance system covering most of the station, useful for stealthier tactics.
  • The escape shuttle has more seats, a large cargo bay, and larger medbay, brig, and bridge.

How to Host

Hosting MetaStation instead of the normal map is simple on bee code:

  • Obtain a copy of the code as normal (use the 'Download ZIP' button here).
  • Extract the folder and open tgstation.dme using Dream Maker (part of BYOND).
  • Select the files tab at the top left of the screen.
  • Expand the 'maps' folder in the file tree.
  • Untick "beestation" or other current map, and tick the "MetaStation" option.
  • Click the build dropdown at the top, and click compile. This may take a minute.
  • Once compiled, open Dream Daemon (part of BYOND), and run the compiled executable (.dmb).
