Citadel Station 13 - RP was originally a fork of VOREStation, which separated on 01/25/2019. VOREStation is a fork of the Polaris code branch, itself a fork of the Baystation12 code branch, for the game Space Station 13.

There are a number of ways to download the source code. Some are described here.

Option 1: The more complicated and easier to update method is using git. You'll need to download git or some client from here. When that's installed, right click in any folder and click on "Git Bash". When that opens, type in:

git clone https://github.com/Citadel-Station-13/Citadel-Station-13-RP.git

(hint: hold down ctrl and press insert to paste into git bash) This will take a while to download, but it provides an easier method for updating.

Option 2: Download the source code as a zip by clicking the ZIP button in the code tab of https://github.com/Citadel-Station-13/Citadel-Station-13-RP (note: this will use a lot of bandwidth if you wish to update and is a lot of hassle if you want to make any changes at all, so it's not recommended.)

First-time installation should be fairly straightforward. First, you'll need BYOND installed. You can get it from https://secure.byond.com/download. Once you've done that, extract the game files to wherever you want to keep them. This is a sourcecode-only release, so the next step is to compile the server files. Open vorestation.dme by double-clicking it, open the Build menu, and click compile. This'll take a little while, and if everything's done right you'll get a message like this:

saving vorestation.dmb (DEBUG mode)
vorestation.dmb - 0 errors, 0 warnings

If you see any errors or warnings, something has gone wrong - possibly a corrupt download or the files extracted wrong. If problems persist, ask for assistance on IRC.

Once that's done, open up the config folder. You'll want to edit config.txt to set the probabilities for different gamemodes in Secret and to set your server location so that all your players don't get disconnected at the end of each round. It's recommended you don't turn on the gamemodes with probability 0, except Extended, as they have various issues and aren't currently being tested, so they may have unknown and bizarre bugs.

You'll also want to edit config/admins.txt to remove the default admins and add your own. "Host" is the highest level of access, and probably the one you'll want to use for now. You can set up your own ranks and find out more in config/admin_ranks.txt

The format is

byondkey = Rank

where the BYOND key must be in lowercase and the admin rank must be properly capitalised. There are a bunch more admin ranks, but these two should be enough for most servers, assuming you have trustworthy admins.

Finally, to start the server, run Dream Daemon and enter the path to your compiled vorestation.dmb file. Make sure to set the port to the one you specified in the config.txt, and set the Security box to 'Safe'. Then press GO and the server should start up and be ready to join. It is also recommended that you set up the SQL backend (see below).

To update an existing installation, first back up your /config and /data folders as these store your server configuration, player preferences and banlist.

Then, extract the new files (preferably into a clean directory, but updating in place should work fine), copy your /config and /data folders back into the new install, overwriting when prompted except if we've specified otherwise, and recompile the game. Once you start the server up again, you should be running the new version.

If you used the git method, you simply need to type this in to git bash:

git pull

When you have done this, you'll need to recompile the code, but then it should work fine.

For a basic setup, simply copy every file from config/example to config.

The SQL backend for the library and stats tracking requires a MySQL server. Your server details go in /config/dbconfig.txt, and the SQL schema is in /SQL/tgstation_schema.sql. More detailed setup instructions arecoming soon, for now ask in our Discord.
