| ==About== | | ==About== |
| '''MetaStation''' is a largely complete work-in-progress map available in the /tg/ code as an alternative to the default map. MetaStation was previously run on Badger, and is now the defualt map on the second official /tg/ server, [byond://game.ss13.eu:2337 Philip]. It has been play-tested quite extensively and has been generally well received. Due to this play-testing, it is now largely bug free, and most feedback revolves around gameplay changes and balancing. Please give any feedback you may have [http://www.ss13.eu/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=358 in this thread], and rest assured that the map is regularly updated according to such feedback. | | '''[[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. |
| | |
| | |
| '''Points to note are that:'''
| |
| * It is more open, so attacks in public are harder to get away with.
| |
| * It has a much larger maintenance system, useful for stealthier tactics.
| |
| * There are in-game maps on the walls of the station to help you find your way.
| |
| * The AI is in a more vulnerable position, but is directly adjacent to security for some protection.
| |
| * It feels significantly larger than the default map, 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.
| |
| * All roles which have maintenance access around their department now have access to the nearest hallway's maintenance door, too.
| |
| * 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.
| |
| | |
|
| |
|
| '''The most up to date information''' about MetaStation can be found in [http://www.ss13.eu/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=358 in this thread] on the /tg/ forums.
| | 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 '''[[User:Metacide|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. |
| <br>''The latest version committed is [https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/858120/Static/SS13/MetaStation/13-08-08%20MetaStation.v34D.Clean.dmm.zip MetaStation v34D.dmm], uploaded on 08-08-13.''

| |
|
| | '''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 [https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=3090 in this thread] on the /tg/ forums, with feedback also welcome there. |

| ==How to Use== | | == Notes == |
| '''Using MetaStation''' isn't too complicated, but does require recompiling the code. In future this may be easier, but for now: | | *It is geared towards higher populations than BoxStation. |
| | | *Key areas are more evenly spread to reduce local overcrowding. |
| * Don't host the game whilst making these changes. | | *It feels much more open, attacks in public are harder to get away with. |
| * Open tgstation.dme | | *It has a large maintenance system covering most of the station, useful for stealthier tactics. |
| * Select the files tab on the top left of the screen | | *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 [https://github.com/BeeStation/BeeStation-Hornet 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. | | * Expand the 'maps' folder in the file tree. |
| * Untick tgstation.2.1.2 or other current map, and tick the latest MetaStation map present. | | * 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. | | * Click the build dropdown at the top, and click compile. This may take a minute. |
| * Once compiled, run the resulting BYOND executable (.dmb) as you would normally. | | * Once compiled, open Dream Daemon (part of BYOND), and run the compiled executable (.dmb). |
