As much as I'd like to play around with some of this code, I think what needs to be done is our codebase needs to really be cleaned up and organized.

In fact I'll go do that now.

[Dr. Johbson]

You Goons be so cool you deserve at least me saying so twice in two different posts, bam, here's the other, thanks again, cool dudes.

[Pillow_Killer]

This is Supernorn from the Something Awful forums, and main spriter for the Goonstation build of Space Station 13.

Nannek has released a new public build for everyone, which should include pretty much everything up until our Dev build went live in March 2010.  Use the code as you see fit!

I've also taken the liberty of including all the icons i've created, including the mob directional sprites. There's probably a fair chunk missing as i took some things out that i hadn't created. But you're still getting a huge amount of icons out of the goodwill of my heart. The link is here, size is about 40MB: http://blackmage.org/supernorn/Public.rar

Thank You.

[Evilgrim]

Wow.. I am literally without words..
You have my most sincere thank you.
Ever.
EVER.

This is going to be awesome!
At least I think so.

Just a quick note, the "new" atmos code that was written primaily by Exadv1 and a little by myself is NOT in that release. The code there is from our last public build, before we moved to our "Dev station" around march, so that build is pretty plagued with lag unfortunately.

Idiot noob here, I would greatly appreciate any server recommendations or relevant advice you may have to offer.

EDIT: I keep seeing references to Goon Station, is it a mod/alternate client or just a server associated with Something Awful?

[Nannek]

However, there are many features in that version which are not in dev, so I'd suggest having a look at some of the code for cool things.

It's a different branch of SS13, and much more advanced than the others in terms of features - and has (had) the original coder working on it, but also plays very different due to the stuff that's been added so it's a matter of personal taste. Also yes, the coders/host, and most of the admins are all from the SA forums.

So that is to say, Goon station is an incoherent pile of trash, hosted by jerks, played by jerks, and administrated by... you guessed it, some really really cool people.

But I digress.  BayStation 12 just has a different feel to it.  As well as significantly more lag.  And a lot less shit, all over the station.  Dudes, was the poo really necessary?

Which is why you now have a public release with our icons, and a lot of the gimmick shit and poo.dmi's mysteriously excluded. There's some lines that should be read between here.

For what it's worth, poop was a controversial addition within the development team with strong opinions on both sides of the aisle.

Also, we'll be releasing a late beta version of our optimized ("dev") code base soon. While it won't have any of the new features that have been added in the last couple of months, it's amazingly streamlined and should be fairly stable and considerably less laggy. Exadv1 did a remarkable job of rebuilding the atmos system for efficiency, so if you guys use it, makes sure you give him the credit. Thanks.

[Sukasa]

Calm down zchris...  so what if they have different styles?  I don't see any huge big fight going on and I'd say actually linking it to us is one hell of a kind gesture.

On another note, would you guys mind if we used a couple of the things in there with not too much modification as long as we give full credit where it's due?

[Ozyton]

There's still sewage discussions going on regarding Dwarf Fortress, I believe.

You're welcome to all our code and icons, don't mention it. And SA is just a forum like this one, you do realise that right, not a state of mind or way of life??

Feel free, that's one of the reasons we released it. As long as you just say thanks or whatever I don't think any of us will mind!
