This guide is designed for new players who are just starting their journey into the world of SS13 and BYOND in general. It's important to note that [https://aurorastation.org/rules.html reading the rules] is essential to ensure a smooth and enjoyable stay on the server. Failure to do so may result in a short-lived experience.

==BYOND==
Welcome to Space Station 13, a game that offers rich player interaction and, on this server and many others, a unique roleplay experience! This guide assumes you are completely new to Space Station 13 and its controls. This guide will attempt to take you step-by-step through setting up your BYOND account, the incredibly unintuitive controls of SS13, and what to expect from your first round.
 
==Downloading BYOND==

BYOND - Build Your Own Net Dream - is the <s>awful, archaic, and probably cursed</s> engine that SS13 uses, and it must be downloaded in order to join any server. You can easily download the latest version by visiting [http://www.byond.com/download/ the BYOND website].

To download BYOND, visit [http://www.byond.com/download/ the BYOND website]. A BYOND account also must be created before you can join any servers.  


A BYOND account also must be created before you can join any servers.
After installing BYOND and creating an account, click the field next to ''Filter'' and type in "Space Station 13". The hub entry should appear, and you will likely see a list of servers! You can scroll down until you see Aurorastation, or you can click [https://aurorastation.org/ Board The Aurora] on this link. This will automatically open BYOND and take you to the server.

If you've successfully joined the server, you'll see the blank ''Dream Seeker'' screen. Once it disappears, you'll be presented with a split-screen interface. On the left side, you'll see the server's title screen with clickable options, and on the right side, you'll see a set of commands (also known as verbs) and the chat log.

If the left side is blank, it means that the server is still streaming resources to your computer, which may take a minute or two. However, this is a one-time process that usually only occurs the first time you join the server.

==Fundamentals==
==Before You Join==
Before we can continue, there are a few things we should make sure you know before you dive headfirst into the <s>chaos</s> action.
Now that you've officially joined the server, here are some important tips that can help you before you join your first round.
#'''Make sure you've [https://aurorastation.org/rules.html read the rules!]'''
#'''Make sure you've [https://aurorastation.org/rules.html read the rules!]''' Failing to do so can result from a swift exit from the server.
#Be sure to check the [[Guide to Controls]] for how to control your character.
#'''Check your settings (if you want).''' If the lobby music is particularly loud, you can turn it off in the <code>Preferences</code> at the top right of your screen, under <code>Hear/Silence Lobby Music</code>. A bunch of other sound-toggling settings are here as well, should you desire to turn them off.
#This is a roleplay server, so make sure that your character and their actions are believable for the [[Background_summary|setting]].
#'''This is a roleplay server.''' On an HRP server, an attempt is made to cultivate a more serious, dramatic atmosphere, though that doesn't mean there can't be humor or strange happenings afoot. Make sure that your character and their actions are believable for the [[New Player Lore Guide|setting]].
#Your first round may be rough.
#'''Your first round may be rough.''' Feel free to ask your fellow players for help in the OOC channel (accessible by hitting F2), or in the Local OOC channel, found in the <code>OOC</code> tab in the upper-right part of your screen. Local OOC will broadcast an OOC message to those around you, and is useful if you need to advise someone you're AFK or you need help with something. Failing all this, consider asking the staff team for help! In the <code>Admin</code> tab, click <code>Adminhelp</code> to send a message to the staff that are currently online.
With that out of the way, we can continue to character creation!

On the left side of the screen, you'll see a menu of options, including <code>Setup</code>. Click on this to open the character creation window, which should look similar to the picture on the right. For now, the only button at the top you need to worry about is the 'Save slot' button, which you should click regularly to avoid losing your progress. Below the save slot button, you'll see a row of buttons that allow you to customize your character's appearance and attributes. Keep in mind that your character should fit in with the server's setting!

Once you've created your character, click <code>Save Slot</code>. You can close out of the character creation pop-up, and click <code>Join</code> if the round is ongoing, as noted by the Round Time display in the <code>Status</code> tab. If the round hasn't started up, you'll click <code>Ready</code> instead.


[[File:Character.png|right|540px]]
Clicking <code>Join</code> will bring up a list of jobs you can join as. If you've been following the [[Character Creation]] guide up to this point, you may note that a good job to start as is [[Janitor]], [[Assistant]], or [[Hangar Technician]].


==Global==
If you join after a round has started, you will spawn in the residential elevators, on the lowest deck of the [[SCCV Horizon]]. If you have joined as a janitor, your closet where you can pick up your gear is located just past the elevator, on the left side of your screen. If you have joined as a hangar technician, go south from the elevators, left at the Intrepid hangar, south until you reach the stairs, and through the brown doors to reach the Operations hangar. If you have joined as an assistant, you have no set department and you can generally go wherever you would like.
This section entails settings that are independent of character slots, and will be persistent throughout your experience.
*'''UI Style:''' Lets you pick from a few different styles of UI. ''Midnight'' should work just fine.
*'''Custom UI:''' If you want to use a custom color.
*'''Tooltip Style:''' Sets the tooltip style. You can leave
*'''HTML UI Style:''' Chooses the HTML interface. The default is fine.
*'''FPS:''' Set max FPS.


*'''Play admin midis:''' If enabled, this will allow you to hear music or other sounds uploaded by admins mid-round. They're typically not MIDIs anymore, though.
==Controls and Interface==
*'''Play lobby music:''' Safe to ignore, just provides some <s>loud and obnoxious</s> music in the lobby that will probably get stale really quick.
Space Station 13 has an expansive, archaic system of controls that are unintuitive at first glance. As you become more accustomed to the interface, you'll grow more used to the controls the way they are.
*'''Ghost ears/sight/radio:''' Will determine the range at which you hear/see actions if you're observing the round as a ghost. Setting the first two options to ''Nearest Creatures'' will probably spare you a lot of text from filling your log.
*'''Observer LOOC:''' Toggles wether Local OOC typed in by observers will show up to you.
*'''Space Parallax:''' Determines if the space background moves or doesn't move when you move. Purely aesthetic.
*'''Space Dust:''' Extra particle effects out in space. Again, aesthetic.
*'''Progress Bars:''' Shows a bar over your character when you conduct a task that requires time to complete. You should probably leave this on.
*'''Floating Messages:''' This option enables sent messages to float above the character that said them. By default, it is set to "Yes" and can be left that way.
*'''Hotkey Mode Default:''' This option toggles between control modes. The Hotkey Mode is a highly useful feature, so make sure to leave it "On".


*'''Language Keys:''' Prefix characters to put in front of what you say to determine the language that you speak. These can be left alone.
To start, you can press your <code>Tab</code> key to toggle Hotkey Mode, which allows you to use your keyboard for more shortcut buttons rather than typing commands into your hotbar. To move, you press your arrow keys or WASD. To speak, you can press <code>T</code> or type <code>/say "Your text here."</code> in your hotbar. With pretty much everything in Space Station 13, interacting with something involves clicking it; you click on items to pick them up, and you can press <code>Q</code> to drop them.

===General Controls===
Once you've got everything set and ready, go ahead and hit ''Save slot'' (you should have been clicking it often, anyway).

Close the Character Setup window, if the game is already going on, you can click ''Join Game!'' to bring up a list of jobs to join as. You'll want to click assistant. If, however, you're present before a round starts, and you can't find the ''Join Game!'' button, then click ''Ready'' instead, and you'll be spawned in automatically in the Tool Storage once the round starts.

====Languages====
To speak a language, prefix your message with ',' or '#' (by default, you can change this in global settings.) Then after that prefix, add a language key, and then your message. For example, if you wanted to say "Hello World!" in Freespeak, you'd say ",3 Hello World!" or "#3 Hello World!" It is also possible to whisper by typing 'Whisper "Hello."' or for short, say ":w Hello."


Depending on when you join and what the round type is, the ship around you can either look calm and quiet or completely unpowered with scorch marks lining the walls and screams echoing throughout the corridors. If you joined during the former situation then you're in luck because you'll be able to learn how to familiarize yourself with many mechanics without worry. No matter which spawn point you chose you'll always end up on the Lower Deck of the ship.

==The Interface==
[[File:Interface1.png|right]]
[[File:Interface1.png|right]]
SS13 is rather sensitive with what you click on, and since you can only click on something one way, that means there's probably only one way to interact with it. This isn't the case here, as aside from using modifiers like holding Control or Shift there are a few interface objects to toggle how you interact with items or even other people.
If you've just spawned in, you may notice you have an expansive interface all along the bottom of your screen. This section will help you understand what these icons are and why.
 
For the most part, to interact with something, you click on it.

If you are an experienced Space Station 13 player, familiarize yourself with Aurora's lore at New Player Lore Guide and see the Character Creation guide.

Welcome to Space Station 13, a game that offers rich player interaction and, on this server and many others, a unique roleplay experience! This guide assumes you are completely new to Space Station 13 and its controls. This guide will attempt to take you step-by-step through setting up your BYOND account, the incredibly unintuitive controls of SS13, and what to expect from your first round.

Downloading BYOND

BYOND - Build Your Own Net Dream - is the awful, archaic, and probably cursed engine that SS13 uses, and it must be downloaded in order to join any server. To download BYOND, visit the BYOND website. A BYOND account also must be created before you can join any servers.

After installing BYOND and creating an account, click the field next to Filter and type in "Space Station 13". The hub entry should appear, and you will likely see a list of servers! You can scroll down until you see Aurorastation, or you can click Board The Aurora on this link. This will automatically open BYOND and take you to the server.

You're In!

If you've successfully joined the server, you'll see the blank Dream Seeker screen. After roughly thirty seconds, the window will open and you'll be presented with a split-screen interface. On the left side, you'll see the server's title screen with clickable options, and on the right side, you'll see a set of commands (also known as verbs) and the chat log.

If the left side is blank, it means that the server is still streaming resources to your computer, which may take a minute or two. However, this is a one-time process that usually only occurs the first time you join the server.

Before You Join

Now that you've officially joined the server, here are some important tips that can help you before you join your first round.

  1. Make sure you've read the rules! Failing to do so can result from a swift exit from the server.
  2. Check your settings (if you want). If the lobby music is particularly loud, you can turn it off in the Preferences at the top right of your screen, under Hear/Silence Lobby Music. A bunch of other sound-toggling settings are here as well, should you desire to turn them off.
  3. This is a roleplay server. On an HRP server, an attempt is made to cultivate a more serious, dramatic atmosphere, though that doesn't mean there can't be humor or strange happenings afoot. Make sure that your character and their actions are believable for the setting.
  4. Your first round may be rough. Feel free to ask your fellow players for help in the OOC channel (accessible by hitting F2), or in the Local OOC channel, found in the OOC tab in the upper-right part of your screen. Local OOC will broadcast an OOC message to those around you, and is useful if you need to advise someone you're AFK or you need help with something. Failing all this, consider asking the staff team for help! In the Admin tab, click Adminhelp to send a message to the staff that are currently online.

With that out of the way, we can continue to character creation!

Your First Character

Click here to read the full guide on character creation.

On the left side of the screen, you'll see a menu of options, including Setup. Click on this to open the character creation window, which should look similar to the picture below. For now, the only button at the top you need to worry about is the Save Slot button at the top of the pop-up, which you should click regularly to avoid losing your progress. Below the save slot button, you'll see a row of buttons that allow you to customize your character's appearance and attributes. Keep in mind that your character should fit in with the server's setting!

Your First Round

Click here for an up-to-date map of the server.

Once you've created your character, click Save Slot. You can close out of the character creation pop-up, and click Join if the round is ongoing, as noted by the Round Time display in the Status tab. If the round hasn't started up, you'll click Ready instead.

Clicking Join will bring up a list of jobs you can join as. If you've been following the Character Creation guide up to this point, you may note that a good job to start as is Janitor, Assistant, or Hangar Technician.

If you join after a round has started, you will spawn in the residential elevators, on the lowest deck of the SCCV Horizon. If you have joined as a janitor, your closet where you can pick up your gear is located just past the elevator, on the left side of your screen.

If you have joined as an assistant, you have no set department and you can generally go wherever you would like.

If you've just spawned in, you may notice you have an expansive interface all along the bottom of your screen. This section will help you understand what these icons are and why.

For the most part, to interact with something, you click on it.

Inventory

The middle and left side of your screen is your inventory and item slots. From top to bottom, left to right, they are:

  1. Main Inventory: Accessed by pressing the toggle button in the bottom left corner.
    1. Helmet, right ear
    2. Glasses, mask, left ear
    3. Uniform, outer clothing, gloves
    4. Expand/collapse inventory, shoes, outer clothing storage
  2. Easy Access Inventory - Always visible
    1. ID
    2. Belt
    3. Backpack
    4. Right and left hand
    5. Pockets

Object Interaction

The bottom right side of the screen will contain a number of buttons that will change how you interact with objects or people around you. These are:

  1. Movement Intent
  2. Intents
    1. Help - You won't do harm by clicking on someone empty handed. Will also prevent you from firing ranged weapons by default.
    2. Disarm - You will knock items out of hands and potentially knock people to the ground.
    3. Grab - You will grab someone.
    4. Harm - You will punch someone if you click them.

Exploring

So now you're actually playing the game, congrats! If you've read the Guide to Controls, then you should already have a rough idea of how to move your character around. If you joined mid-round, you will appear in the Residential Deck Lifts, on the Lower Dec. But if you join with the start of the round, you will appear in the Tool Storage, which is located in the Main Deck. You can check the Server Map for an overview of the SCCV Horizon.

The ship is divided into three main sections: the Lower Deck, the Main Deck, and the Upper Deck. The Lower Deck generally includes hangars and some utility departments, such as Custodial and Operations. The Main Deck, as the name suggests, houses almost all of the main departments, including Security, Engineering, Medical, and Research. The Upper Deck is mainly for Command and entertainment areas. While exploring the ship, you will come across these departments, but you won't be able to enter most of them as an Assistant due to clearance restrictions. Nonetheless, take the opportunity to familiarize yourself with the layout of the ship.

Keep in mind that a round typically lasts around two hours. If you need to leave before then, you can return to the Residential Deck Lifts in the Lower Deck and use either the Living Quarters Lift or the Cryogenic Freezer to exit the round.

After your first round, you may want to move on to an actual job. Some beginner-friendly occupations include:

  • Janitor: Walk around the Horizon to learn its layout while performing custodial tasks.
  • Hangar Technician: Do deliveries and sort the warehouse to get familiar with handling items in the game.
  • Engineering Apprentice: Gain hands-on experience in Engineering, but make sure there are other Engineers available to help you.
  • Medical Intern: The learner role of the medical department.
  • Lab Assistant: Learn how to be a scientist after some work experience.

Additionally, interacting with other players can make the game more enjoyable and engaging. Try to stay in character and be creative with your interactions, but also be respectful of other players and their characters. Remember that everyone is here to have fun, so don't take things too seriously or get upset if something doesn't go as planned. Don't hesitate to ask for help if you're unsure about something. You can do so in-character (IC) or out of character (OOC). Most players are happy to assist newcomers, whether it's with small tasks or getting familiar with a particular department.

Good luck! Шаблон:Gameplay Guides
