/tg/Station 13

hey you i made a discord for this
unironically its the repurposed "global" discord: https://discord.gg/r8RbkeP

terribly misleading title but i didn't bother thinking of a better one.

some bloated context as to what im doing:
more or less im going to take /tg/ code and try my hand at making a survival game. probally going to implode on itself, im probally going to give up after trying to figure out how to host it, im probally just going to open up dm, delete all the station maps then get bored and say fuck it and drop the project entirely but atleast a year from now i can look back at this thread and go "hey why don't i try that again"


the entire reason in making this thread is one question

if its not dog shit, if it looks good, if its based off of tg code, would you play it?

SPRITE REQUESTS

I need the following;

Run down wall (weathering/sun chipping away at paint)
Run down metal wall (weather/rust)
Custom wooden floor tiles
Retro/fallout esqe casino tiles
Better (not fucking all white) snow tiles (grey scale ect)
Your own brand of vending machine (need a softdrink one, a snack bar one, and a laptop/tablet vendor one, it CANNOT be in 3/4ths perspective, we're going for a retro feel here so make it the old way) (will happily make it your own in the game ie "Pkportable Microcomputers" or some shit)

SOUND REQUESTS

I need the following:

Ambient kind of snow storm wind blowing sort of shit
A decent door opening sound that isn't fucking creaking super hard (wood and metal doors)
Zippo opening, zippo closing, and zippo burning sound
Fire burning sound (like a campfire, logs cracking ect)
Gun sounds
-putting a magazine in a rifle
-taking a magazine out of a rifle
-clearing a casing from a rifle
-charging a rifle
-aim up/aim down sound (the sound of shuffling from pointing a gun at someone to putting it back down)
-putting a magazine into a pistol (light-think a small handgun like a walther PPK with a thin magazine)
-pulling a magazine out of a pistol (light-think a small handgun like a walther PPK with a thin magazine)
-putting a magazine into a pistol (heavy-think a large handgun like a desert eagle or 1911, big heavy mag hitting against thicc metal)
-pulling a magazine out of a pistol (heavy-think a large handgun like a desert eagle or 1911, big heavy mag hitting against thicc metal)
-racking a handgun slide (light)
-racking a handgun slide (heavy)
-shotgun pump
-shotgun shell loading
-sound of boots crunching snow (walking in snow)
-sound of boots on a metal floor
-sound of boots on a wooden floor (don't make it creaky and shit just assume its a hard tile floor, like a gym floor)
-sound of a door being kicked down






EDIT CONTENT LINE:

so more or less im going to take a whole shitload of tg content and use it as placeholders untill i can make my own custom sprites, it's going to basically be alot of these:


*trees clipping into the window and walls were removed

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

bucket list of shit to try to get in
-mres
-hunger/thirst
-stages of hypothermia
-better pocket/carrying system (maybe try doing it how neoscavenger did it)

-plaid shirt
-jeans

-scabbard for axes
-combat hatchets
-scabbard for hatchets

-holsters and slings for all of the weapons
-a actual story (background story similar to how nanotrasen v syndicate interacts with ss13)
-cataclysmic event on earth - generic survival story
-earth already destroyed - aliens and shit teleport survivors to paralell universe something
-crashing on another planet that happens to be near exactly like earth
-modular body armor
-different level plate carriers
-different types of attachments for magazines/ect
-redo guncode to be modular so its simply changing variables and slapping a different sprite and sound on (assuming it isn't already)
-basically opening a new gun file will be changing variables, sprites, and sounds
-food items (canned beans/pork/chicken/turkey)
-vitamin/nutrient system
-a lack of most vitamins will only result in a small debuff, continued lack of them will result in actual sickness though (but that will take excess of four hours)
-the simplicity of /tg/ med but with more shit to fix more shit to varying degrees (makeshift bandage = 5 brute heal/50% to stop bleeding brute kit = 40 brute heal/doesnt stop bleeding quickclot = 2 brute delt/100% chance to stop bleeding)
-make shitty meds either craftable or very common but make them, well. shitty.
-make super meds occur at the end and during mini dungeons and shit
-porting (not porting but making) autoinjectors more common place as medical items
-different ammounts and qualitiys of auto injectors for both shit med and op med
-add more constructables (furniture/wooden walls/different types of wooden barricades)
-to further base building
-add more clutter (nails now come in nail boxes which now come in nail crates, none of which vanish when you take everything out of them, ect ect)
-maybe not alot of clutter because ill probally get bored of making shit that has no use
-figure out how to add ambient sound
-like the blizzard sound ect
-figure out how to make local sounds (sounds emitting from a object)
-radios
-jukeboxes
-hearing footsteps/gunshots/ect
-weather (seasons changing every 45 minutes?)
-maybe just have summer or just have winter
-day/night
-every 30 minutes maybe?

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

*lots of features can be ported from some of the old f13 code (such as day/night-weather-hunger/thirst)
*figure out how to port shit

People go crazy for Goof's dwarves because that's basically the only thing we have for it as is (and there's also the meme factor with dorfs)

We should actually develop something like it for real, but that's alot of work and nobody has bothered.

Also, this is not exactly a new idea, basically everyone and their brother has thought of something along those lines before.

ye survival games aren't really a original idea but i mean like a -entire- server, not a map

basically learn from the mistakes of F13, make it open source, without ERP, and without shitty ported cykablyat code

im just going to take all the tg assets as place holders and build a map (which is the really easy fun part) then go about trying to make half decent wall/floor/tree/door/ect sprites

another thought, most of these servers go with a theme in terms of weather (desert/snow/ect)

i was thinking more of a side by side z level linked map, in game maps would be like grids showing what each grid was, be it a town, fuckhuge desert, or mountain

the ar35 cause future and stuff



basically a ar pattern rifle but in the future

tac version has a shorter click delay (more bullets down range)

-moved to main post because it addresses a concept too-

This is basically extended on planetstation

I don't think you understand what planetstation is supposed to be

maybe you should try coding a gamemode for this instead of a new game hm.

kevinz000 wrote:maybe you should try coding a gamemode for this instead of a new game hm.

planetstation isn't the same as this but it takes up the majority of the purpose as a "new and original planetside map"

that and i plan to add shit that doesn't really mesh well with 30 minute rounds. most rounds played would clock 2-3 hours, then generally midnight to eight would be one whole round

updates on progress

Your gun sprites are improving, keep it up

I'm far from a master spriter but you definitely need outlines on those sprites, ask WJ about it.

(when I say outlines, I mean borders)

it orginally had borders, super bold borders, like basically black close to nigger black

but i removed them on the premise that i remember someone saying "hey don't make black outlines on everything"

so i said fuck it and removed the fuck out of them outlines

"don't make black outlines" doesn't mean "don't have outlines"

Generally the outline of any sprite is a darker version of the main colour*
ie: if the gun was light grey, you take that same grey and drop it by 10-20 luminosity (use a real image editor, not DM) and then use the new (10-20 less lum) colour for your outline.

*unless you're doing something really stylistic, which doesn't fit SS13 so it's not relevant.

right
i have a question for the maintainers
does... survival, using SS13 as an engine, have any chance (of being merged, as a gamemode or map) on: 1. vanilla ss13 2. planetstation
maybe i'm just getting baited but this one of oxford's only good ideas.

how to talk yourself out of a already completed 90 hours worth of work in one simple step

edit: its been attempted by f13 but thats fallout. the premise behind this is doing it better.
