About

MetaStation is a largely complete map available in the /tg/ codebase as an alternative to the default map. MetaStation is currently running on Basil, /tg/'s second server, and was also the default map on Badger in its heyday. An older version was running on NoxStation for a while, and a forked variant on /vg/. It has been tested extensively and has been generally well received. Due to this testing, it is now largely bug free, and most feedback revolves around gameplay changes and balancing. It is largely maintained and updated by Metacide, but based on and uses the work of many others, such as Allura, whose work maintaining the map has allowed it to be re-added to the codebase as v40A.

Key points to note are that:

• The map plays best with 30+ players.
• The only change is the layout - functionality is the same.
• It feels much more open, 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 escape shuttle is larger, with a cargo hold to bring valuable gear with you.

Development news regarding MetaStation is often posted in this thread on the /tg/ forums.

Please give any feedback you may have in the same thread, too.

How to Host

Hosting MetaStation instead of the normal map is simple on /tg/ code:

• Obtain a copy of the code as normal (use the 'Download ZIP' button 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.
• Untick "tgstation" or other current map, and tick the "MetaStation" option.
• Click the build dropdown at the top, and click compile. This may take a minute.
• Once compiled, open Dream Daemon (part of BYOND), and run the compiled executable (.dmb).

Issue Tracker

Updated 2015/07/17. Please report any new issues or give feedback here.

• Unexpected fun - Shouldn't happen again.
• Hazard-striped plating in maintenance does not update when tiled
• The beer nuke and fake TV are missing from the corporate showroom
• AI core cameras are visible on the standard SS13 camera network
• There are unnecessary active (atmos) turfs on roundstart
• The CE office area designation includes the SMES cells
• Medbay is green on the wall map sprite
• Abandoned teleporter may be broken
• No other known issues.
