Alright so the current system has a lot of problems. If you have thoughts on what can be done to address them, post em here so we can discuss them in a more solid format than Discord and I won't immediatley forget whatever we discuss.

Lore Discussion / Lore wiki.

The working lore for the setting can be found here. Keep in mind that the maxim 'if it isn't in the game it doesn't exist' still applies to lore that is on the wiki but isn't represented in the actual code.

Aspects are buffs and maluses you can take during character generation to customize your character. If you have suggestions for some, post them here.

Ban Appeals / Ban appeal template and rules.
« Last post by Loaf on November 30, 2017, 02:23:19 am »
If your ban is a day ban or shorter, don't bother appealing. You were given a time out, not a serious ban. If you object to the reason for the ban and believe it is excessive, making an admin complaint is probably more productive than an appeal.

When making a ban appeal, please use this template:
Code: [Select]
[b]BYOND key[/b]:
[b]Character name at time of banning[/b]:
[b]Type of ban[/b]: server ban/jobban/Discord ban.
[b]Name of banning admin[/b]:
[b]Jobs you were banned from (jobbans only)[/b]:
[b]Reason you were banned[/b]:
[b]Ban duration[/b]:
[b]Reason you should be unbanned[/b]:

I've just finished copying over the useful stuff from the old forums. If something is missing or out of date let me know.

Hopefully these forums will be less susceptible to Russian spambots.

Public Admin Club / Standard operating procedure for staff.

Admin/moderator guidelines:
  • Your job is to intervene in situations that players cannot resolve themselves, not to enforce a given playstyle or culture.
  • Under no circumstances deal with adminhelps or complaints originating from a situation you are personally involved in.
  • Do not interfere in ongoing IC situations unless the person involved is blatantly griefing or metagaming.
  • Do not distract from the antagonists with admin shenanigans unless a vote was undertaken or the voted roundtype was secret and there are no active antagonists.
  • If you have doubts about whether an action is appropriate or not, either get a consensus of active admin or don't do it.

Basic incident SOP:
  • Contact the person being complained about and politely ask for their side of things.
  • If they're clearly busy IC (running from Security, etc) and aren't obviously breaking rule 2, wait until they are not occupied before contacting them.
  • Continue this until you have a good idea of what's going on and which rules, if any, are being broken.
  • If things are not clear and the situation is murky, seek a consensus from other active admin before acting.
  • Apply bans, give warnings, etc.
  • Contact whoever complained initially and let them know things were resolved.
  • Add player notes wherever appropriate regarding bans, warnings, conduct, etc.

Bans:
  • Admin discretion should be applied when deciding if something requires a warning or a ban. People make mistakes.
  • Daybans should be applied for people who are being obnoxious or disruptive or doing anything that is line-toeing. Basic polite conduct things like racism/sexism, spamming OOC, etc. If people don't take the hint then it can be upped to a weekban etc.
  • Weekbans should be applied for initial offences, with an exponential increase for further cockups. One week, two weeks, a month, two months, etc.
  • Anything more than a month should probably just be a permaban until appeal.

Do you think aspects are too limited currently? Vote accordingly.

Coding and Mapping / Style and contribution guide.
« Last post by Loaf on November 30, 2017, 01:58:52 am »
Quick and dirty guide:
  • Always use absolute paths, it makes it a ton easier to search code.
  • If you want to use a colon, cast the var to the appropriate path instead. It's only one extra line.
  • New features/items go in their own folders or files if possible, this will minimize merge conflicts later.
  • Merge policy for PRs will be 24 hours with no complaints/controversy, or two developers signing off, whichever comes first.
  • Bugfixing should be a priority over features and features should be a priority over sprites, but any contribution at all is good.

First-time merge driver steup:
After cloning the repo using your preferred git client (if you don't know how to use git, ask someone on Discord or make a post on this forum), either:
- Run tools/mapmerge/git_merge_installer.bat and tools/dmitool/git_merge_installer.bat.
OR
- Add the following block to your .git/config file:
Code: [Select]
[merge "merge-dmm"]
    name = mapmerge driver
        driver = ./tools/mapmerge/mapmerge.sh %O %A %B
[merge "merge-dmi"]
   name = iconfile merge driver
   driver = ./tools/dmitool/dmimerge.sh %O %A %B

When making map edits:
  • Run tools/mapmerge/1prepare_map.bat.
  • Make your changes.
  • Run tools/mapmerge/2clean_map.bat.
