Planetstation Map Bounty

onleavedontatme · Wed Jun 07, 2017 8:32 pm

My best gaming pal captain sawrge said he will pay 50 dollars to whoever is able to make a map of the station to my liking, so PM me if you're interested I guess.

I outlined generally what I wanted in this thread, including the bridge/gatehouse and layout of the base within the walls/against ocean/surrounded by chasm and lava

https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic ... 57&t=10538

Here is more specifically where I think departments would go well

As to questions I've gotten about size, just a normal station map size (though keep in mind it will be spread across two levels, and you'll be able to drop into things from above by bombing the floor out). I'll paste it in to the planet later.

did you at least settle on a size yet?
ninjaedit: or even the features and general design goal.

Are you still going for something similar to the idea in the station thread?

Also, yeah, map size is pretty important here.

$50 CAD*

I updated the thread with more details

Is this something amateurs would want to attempt?
Also, is mapping for planetstation different than mapping for normal ss13?

It is different in that you will be making the station across two z levels so you need to be able to keep an extra dimension in mind when planning spaces.

Otherwise no, mostly the same inside the walls

So for clarification, the top level is ground level, bottom is subterranean?
is the atmosphere supposed to be safe to breath? Because I'm thinking about less a fully linked station and more a cluster of separate spessman yurts. (under level may or may not be unified, haven't figured that out yet.)

If sawrge will actually pay me 50 CAD I will do it.

Kor told me I wasn't allowed to do it. Sad!

You're welcome to do it

Post by **lumipharon** » Sun Jun 11, 2017 9:36 pm #306786

@Kor

Is the atmos safe to breath? Is it hot/cold? Is it the same in lavaland and surface?
I was making a draft where the surface base was the big wall with multiple self contained buildings plonked down inside as though NT had air dropped demountables or something to rapidly setup the base.

great idea kor

Luke Cox · Post by **Luke Cox** » Sun Jun 11, 2017 11:49 pm #306854

Even though I'm a vocal critic of the idea, I doubt that Kor would try to scam someone out of 50 bucks.

onleavedontatme · Mon Jun 12, 2017 12:52 am

I'm not gonna stiff whoever creates the map out of 50 bucks no.

But I am worried that the people making maps that don't end up chosen will feel cheated though, since several people are now working on their own versions

Steelpoint · Post by **Steelpoint** » Mon Jun 12, 2017 6:04 am #307067

Anyone making a map for this should be going in under the full knowledge that there is a strong chance their map may be passed over for someone elses.

danno · Post by **danno** » Mon Jun 12, 2017 6:56 am #307082

I would not doubt Kor nor Sawrge's willingness to hold up their end of the bargain but yeah there is something prohibitive about this entire arrangement
mapping is already the most arduous hassle you can attempt related to space station 13 (barring improving it)

Luke Cox · Post by **Luke Cox** » Mon Jun 12, 2017 7:26 am #307085

Kor isn't scamming people out of 50 bucks, he's scamming himself out of 50 bucks.

Just out of curiosity, why is there an offer for this if people are already making their own versions?

iamgoofball · Post by **iamgoofball** » Mon Jun 12, 2017 8:38 am #307106

We have map randomization code guys we can theoretically accept all of them but decide 1 winner

Steelpoint · Post by **Steelpoint** » Mon Jun 12, 2017 8:44 am #307108

Why don't you do randomization of departments?

Set restrictions on how big each department is, so security has to fit a 50x50 square block or something. Have pre-set area's where piping/wires have to enter.

Then what happens is you have a pool of departments the map chooses from at round start and it picks one at random. So every round your Planet Base is going to have a utterly different look and layout. The actual positions of each department will remain the same, but their layout is difference.

Post by **lumipharon** » Mon Jun 12, 2017 9:35 am #307123

That would actually work with what I'm currently working on. Each department is a set of linked 'demountable' style buildings (fluff being NT just air dropped in some space IKEA modular shit to save time), so are physically independent from each other.

Steelpoint · Post by **Steelpoint** » Mon Jun 12, 2017 9:38 am #307124

The main advantage of that system, as is the same for randomised jungle chunk tiles, is that you can accept the mapping work of a lot of mappers without disgruntling mappers when you have to pick one map over everyone elses.

I would also suggest making it very easy for players to figure out the name of each department style/version so feedback would be easier to give back on that layout.

allura · Post by **allura** » Mon Jun 12, 2017 2:53 pm #307226

Honestly considering there's no need for an atmos system and there's more natural lighting you can rely on, about 70% of the actual hard work put into a map is not required.

danno · Post by **danno** » Mon Jun 12, 2017 2:54 pm #307227

That is actually true

allura · Post by **allura** » Mon Jun 12, 2017 2:58 pm #307228

Mapping on this codevase is essentially sticking together randomly sized squares to all fit into one vaguely box-y station, the only thing you need in your peabrain is the knowledge that medbay and science should actually fucking be next to each other.

I got excited when I saw tokikos name in the thread but it turns out it was just a reponse to Xhuis shit talking the best map. Sad!

I was just talking about the med/sci thing. I didn't mean to be rude.

if the amount of money being offered for something related to ss13 is above zero then it's probably a fair amount of money
