OpenBYOND now has a github repo. AFAIK, N3X15 and Rock are the only people working at it right now, but N5X15 is, as always, crazy productive. Tobba (Goon coder, reverse-engineered large parts of BYOND) shared his knowledge of BYOND opcodes etc. Also, YotaXp (tg coder) also has quite a few opcodes and flags figured out, even if they are slightly outdated. So yay for that!

I was literally looking at this 10 minutes ago. I couldn't get it to compile....

If we have some Atmos issues on the test, now I know why. See, it turns out since we're running on the most recent code, we're actually running on the equivalent of BS12's Dev Freeze. Which, among others, changes ZAS.

Ladies and Gents, I present the most shitty paint mockup ever. This is the extremely rough outline of what the station I am working on will look like. The Orange lines cutting off a third of it is the asteroid it is embedded in. Enjoy.

It's a fairly large image.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You can't have transit to a specific z-level barring a shuttle. Also, if you have mining on the same z-level as the station, they won't have much room to mine.

It's not to a different z level, Xeno is on the same z level. Also, the asteroid is about half of the map.

[scrdest]

You have something clearly marked as 'vent to another z-level'.

[Darvi]

Also I'm pretty sure teleporters can send you to different Z-Levels too, but that will most likely not be used for somethign as trivial.

Also, Cargo and mining belong together, as do R&D and Medbay. Speaking of which, I'd appreciate it if Chemlab would be right next to R&D.

That's for the supermatter, when you eject it. It's going to be literally a hole in the asteroid that leads to another level.

This station, RP wise, is more focused on extraction of minerals than being a traditional station. I'll have some kind of rapid transport between mining and cargo, but the fact mining is embedded deep inside the asteroid makes it difficult to put both of them together.

I need to show my map then...

[Glloyd]

Can you make away-mission (gateway) maps using the same process?  I'm presuming you'd obviously need a gateway-type object somewhere, for people to arrive, but are there any other quirks to be aware of?  Or is the Gateway non-operational in Bay12 code?

It's operational, just not enabled atm.

We're not running on the most recent code. I'm using their master branch, which is the most recent stable build.

[scrdest]

Nope. The master branch and the dev-freeze are one and the same. They just hold off with the updates until they are ready.

The dev freeze branch is different. At the moment it's something like 200 commits ahead of the master branch. The dev branch is where new code gets pushed, the dev freeze is where it gets tested and the master branch is where "releases" of tested code happen. I've coded for BS12 before, it's a great system.

[Glloyd]

Doublepost to bump the fact that

The test server is live, and will be until Monday morning EST.

Unless Corai breaks it of course. IP is the same: byond://131.104.253.194:12345

EDIT:

Changes:
-all urist items work now
-you can hug people again!
-various map fixes

Why don't we just have two asteroids? We can make the one the station is on just essentially a worthless space rock, and the one on mining where you'd want to mine at.

Thats what I am planning.
