Space Station 13 v11 - Admiral Hippie does bad videos - Games

[QUOTE=Trounark;47846815]Time for the Facepunch server cycle to repeat itself once again.[/QUOTE] But what is it!!!

The cycle continues.

[QUOTE=Te Great Skeeve;47846807]I don't know if I am going to host it yet, I want to know the risks and what I can do to improve on the past servers failures. The main one if I remember is shit servers.[/QUOTE] The main issues are: -Lack of players/ Full of shitty players that got banned from other servers, -Shitty admins/ lack of admins at all times -Drama, it is bound to come. [editline]31st May 2015[/editline] Eventually after 1-2 months the host gets fed up and closes the server for whatever reason. Hippie hasn't closed down yet but it is slowly falling apart.

Why would you even want a FP server? Its going to be underpopulated and have less features than the main servers people use.

[QUOTE=Te Great Skeeve;47847057]I am bored[/QUOTE] Here's a few questions to ask yourself before starting a server: Do I have at LEAST 3 reputable/decent admins from different timezones? Your chance of people quitting will largely hinge on this question Do I have at least 1 coder and 1 mapper to maintain the server? At least 1 spriter will also help to start implementing new features to make your server's codebase somewhat different. Do I have the resources to maintain a near constant up-time? If your server is down for half the day I can personally tell you I likely will just stick to another server.

I have not so long ago got in touch with the mapping using the Hippie and /tg/ codebases. I probably can be of some help.

Alright, I am doing a stress test, in the mean time please vote : Terrible idea will never work I refuse to play = disagree Might work I dunno I'll try it = informative I will sell my soul im so fucking into this = agree I'll help I guess = optimistic

[QUOTE=RG4ORDR;47845252]Only issue I have is with this. Come on mayne. You got all access, don't break down walls like an idiot.[/QUOTE] Oh no yeah, that's a given. It's not the fact that I got arrested. It's the fact that the security officer that did so completely overreacted and deliberately tried to kill me, and the admin refused to do anything in the name of "IC issues", that's what makes me pissed.

So I just gave goonstation a go... in spite of the infequent lag I had a bit of fun that ended up as me playing as a wraith spooky ghost.... it was fun just to fly around and spook people.

Doesn't Goon have a gamemode based around repairing a derelict station to keep it from crashing into the main one?

[QUOTE=Pigbear;47849780]used to but doesn't anymore[/QUOTE] Why did they end up removing it? As I understand, it was a relatively good gamemode.

Nothing that amusing ever happens when I play on CM. Damn it.

[QUOTE=STRIDERS;47851252]Nothing that amusing ever happens when I play on CM. Damn it.[/QUOTE] Usually does when I do. Round starts at 3am, so barely nobody on. Goes fairly smoothly for my alpha squad up until our final confrontation with the alien queen. One of my squaddies used a flamethrower on a warrior perched on me, melting both me and the damn thing to near death, while everyone else is shooting each other trying to hit the queen. Two guys get buckled to beds and the queen is robusting both of them, so I crawl my way in there and hit it with two grenades, finishing it off with my pulse rifle. Meanwhile, our third commander (one went ssd, i was the second but let the third replace me so i could lead alpha) went braindead and was replaced by the omnipotent Beau Braun. Were it not for Beau Braun, our fearless, cunning commander, the aliens would never have killed so many marines as he sent them in, one by one every five minutes. When he exhausted the remaining marines, he sent his officers to check up on the other check up squads. What he didn't know was that the five minutes he spent shit talking our squad for not responding over comms could have been spent sending a rescue team to save the entirety alpha, who all bled out eventually. When his check up squads didn't return, he cursed them and ordered any remaining staff/newly arrived marines to rally up in the briefing room for another assault, just when the aliens finally got their nerve to attack. The first wave reached him, a MP clad in a security rig, and a medic. As latter two bravely fought off the xeno horde, he shat himself and ran back into briefing, closing the shutters and stranding them in the hangar. All he had to say was, "I thank the red suited man and the one in white whose names I forgot for sacrificing themselves to allow me to escape". He then proceeded to engage in an difficult struggle for supremacy with a hivelord, having nearly been mauled to death. Up to to this point he has been shouting at the three survivors until he tried to blow a hole into the hangar with C4, depressurizing the briefing room. The last surviving MP, fed up with his shit, cuffed him, stripped him, and buckled him to a chair in the bridge. He finally met his end in an escape pod, being shot to death by an angry marine and thrown out of the airlock. What a rotten way to die. tl;dr [img]http://i.imgur.com/7N5EaXX.jpg[/img] a hero died that round

[QUOTE=Scivirino;47835175]Blob is just a game mode where every one has played it out already, there's only 3~ ways to kill it and now people are probably getting so tired of it they just want to play the game over killing the blob. It's the easiest and hardest game mode depending on where it spawns relative to your station, but it can bring out the worst in most people easily because of how empty places will be with everyone fighting 1 - 2 blobs. It's becoming one of those "pls remove" game modes that aren't any fun at all. AI Sounds like a legitmate shit though.[/QUOTE] all blob takes is a single competant scientist to make a few bombcaps. The core is usually shallow enough that it only takes one to expose the core and another to blow it up. Then I have 4 for the second or third blob!

Tell them to just massacre people except for one random guy, usually chef or botanist that seems to just be going about their every day routine. The more they roleplay absolute airheaded lack of ability to notice what's going on around them, the better

Sometimes I feel like a total shitler and faggot for being a big old powergamer sometimes but man it feels fucking good. Playing as my usual Muhammed Al-Is-Nis So we have this round with no security at start. 2 people get promoted. I gather some.. tools cause I was kinda greytiding the hop. Buckets of water, hatchet and cablecuffs. Cultists reported in Science so I go there and kill the Cultist. Little conflict with borg but we come out on top. Then I slip the HOP cause he was shooting at me. I take him to security after cuffing him.(I did greytide). They take him away, taking his headset. I didnt mind cause he was a dick. They pull me and grab my headset. I see what they are trying to do. I run and go into disposals, disposal myself and rat them. I tried to save HoP but they had stun. I go to dorms and tell subverted ai(for our side) to lock them down. They come through a dorm. I put water there. Another validhunter comes to help me. The 2 fake security officers get slipped and we cuff/kill them both. Captain watches us but then a MD comes in and stunpapers me and the captain. We manage to get captain free. I go to brig to get implanted but they got the captain anyway. HOS arrives(new spawn) I inform him about the cultists. He implants me and gives me his armor/hat. We also manage to find the weapons in a dufflebag that one of the cultists had. Constructs in science. We kill the artie, and 2 presumed cultists. Captain got sacced though.. We call the shuttle again after it gets recalled. Eventually we go to escape. We thought we won. But we were dead wrong. Get on shuttle, we get attacked with stunbatons. HoS and me try to fight them off but we both get fucked. Cult starts killing every non-cultist expect some they cuff. They attempt to convert but they are fucking shit and they fail. They didnt greentext cause they needed 3 more cultists. They killed instead of converting and they paid for it. Honk. Allahu akbar Powergaming ahoy. Cult would have won if I had joined them likely

So who's idea was the lobby Music for hippie? Just asking cause it all fits

[QUOTE=Jmir 54;47854667]So who's idea was the lobby Music for hippie? Just asking cause it all fits[/QUOTE] Last I checked Hippie made all the decisions for the lobby music.

Yeah soz the stress test went okay (I will have a public one using bay12 to really push it to the limit,) I managed to set off a 50 tile bomb (90% of the station deleted) and it took about 2 minutes to process. If this server doesn't work out it doesn't matter to me I waste money all the time. (Usually people have fun even if it doesn't last forever.) So the admin process is gonna be: Nominated, send a very stripped down resume, go through an assessment test, go through a voting process, then go through a trial run with moderation powers (you make reports on bad things done rather then actually being able to have an effect) based on peer / current admin review, then be ranked, then you become a trial admin with limited powers, then you are peer reviewed again, then top 10% candidates from a final vote become full administrators. So basically anybody can apply at any time, as long as they are nominated by a standing community member on FP. We go in runs, so we have a big batch each time to choose the absolute best. Anybody who wants to help contribute coding/spriting is free to do so, I will have a finished process after the stress test, it's important to note nothing here is final and if the stress test doesn't go great then it probably won't happen at all. I will have full details for early helpers/whoever the hell wants to administrate depending on how fast the server is reworked. Maybe by the end of today, who knows. So reminder : -Don't expect anything. -Everything is in testing and the odds of it being successful are low, according to people in this thread. -Most things will be flaky for awhile. The server will have a 2-month test run if all goes well.

do you even have any of the old facebaces or spesspunch code otherwise heh gl hf

Public stress test in about an hour or so. [editline]2nd June 2015[/editline] [URL="byond://107.170.91.118:56848"]No rules, go nuts. Crash the server.[/URL] Tell me about connections and shit p.s if somebody could post so people know it's up that'd be fantastico

It's up until it crashes. [editline]a[/editline] My merge!

[QUOTE=Te Great Skeeve;47856007]Public stress test in about an hour or so.[/QUOTE] I am going to tell you this, if you like playing ss13 be utterly sure you are prepared to deal with the exact opposite of what you want an ss13 player to be like because that shit will occur all the time. SS13 id s prime breeding ground for griefing and because of an ill defined line between greifing and standard play, hatred brews. It brews and brews and brews until outbursts of utter terribleness occur. Did you ever get involved with the tf2 unsrs servers? It's liek that on steroids, every problem an unsrs server had, people not getting it, shit-heads trying their best to subvert the rules, admins forgetting their duties and treating the place as their personal playground or just not giving a shit and just being players without admining at all. In ss13 this is magnified by 30 times and it has a good element of creativity, a creative element attracts a lot of people, and the worst of that crop has been given several names over the years. Gmod Mingebags for example, greyshits are basically mingebags MKII with judicious levels of braindead memeposting. Admining an SS13 server requires near full time attention at all times, what woith the code being temperamental and servers, griefers notwithstanding, require round the clock attention to actually function. If you are not prepared to put in the work and dedication to what amounts to a small company, give it a miss.

[editline]a[/editline] I won't be on, you can respawn after 30 minutes, it's just made to see how long the server lasts before it crashes from a broken state. I will have a more fully fledged stress test tommorow, hopefully more people.
