Welcome to the server! This guide is meant to guide you through the basics of Halostation 13, from figuring out what to be to getting into fights. While this page focuses on the former, links at the bottom you will be provided so you can learn the initial loop of each faction.
 
  
== Rules ==
+
HEY! LISTEN!
Before stepping into the fray, however, remember to read the [[rules]] to avoid risking a ban.
+
64x64 FOR MOBS AND ITEMS THAT USE THE ENTIRE TILE!!
 +
32x32 FOR ITEMS/MACHINERY/ALL ELSE!
 +
^THIS guy was right! Just put |32px on everything that ends up too big, the big sprites will be great for the (eventual) items-other-than-guns page.
  
== Character Creation ==

HEY!
While

Turns out 32x62 works best to avoid the "big space".
  
Loadout tab is mostly intended to be used for Colonist and Insurrectionist roles, as Covenant roles cannot spawn with loadout items and they also conflict with UNSC gear (i.e. uniforms, armor, etc.)

<big>How to make big sprites for guides:</big>
<div style="margin-bottom:50px; text-align: center;">[[File:Title.png|link=https://projectunsc.org/forum/index.php]]</div>
+
# Open the .dmi you need in Dream Maker.
 +
# Take a picture of the sprite you want, preferably as close to its original 32x32 square as posible.
 +
# Paste the picture in Photopea.
 +
# Depending on how much of the 32x32 .dmi area the sprite uses:
 +
##If the sprite does '''NOT''' use the full 32x32 area, center a 64x32 area on the sprite (might end up as 640x320 or so in Photopea). We do this to keep avoid an ugly-looking space when pairing text with images.
 +
##If the sprite uses the full 32x32 area, skip to the next step.
 +
# Use "Magic Wand" to select the background. A tolerance of 50 is usually enough to properly separate the BG, but you may have to lower it for some sprites.
 +
# DEL the selected areas (should be just the BG).
 +
# Export it as a 64 by 64 image
 +
BINGO BANGO BIG SPRITES!
 +
Now to do this for all the ones I've alredy done... aha...
 +
 
 +
If everything looks terrible from this embiggening then put |32px at their ends to bring 'em back to native.

For gifs, use these for layer names to frame them as GIF frames.

 +
 
 +
_a_frm1,200
 +
 
 +
_a_frm0,100
 +
 
 +
 
 +
They'd be, from top to down: frame 3, 2, 1.
 +
 
 +
NEVERMIND! Make a gif straight from the .dmi to get the intervals, paste that into Photopea then start making PNGs with the interval names.
 +
 
 +
Put the TOC on the right side of the screen, figure out the possibility of putting it up after the icons.

== United Nations Space Command (UNSC) Tutorial ==
 
''Note: Beginners are advised to start with the "Marine" role due to their lack of responsabilities. This guide uses the [[Reclamation]] gamemode as an example. Some things may vary, but the general idea is the same.''
 
  
  
Rise and shine, marine. A capital ship of the Covenant has been detected on long-range scanners and HIGHCOMM believes it to be an invasion force headed for the colony you were stationed to, so you've been thawed out of cryostasis to defend the Orbital Defense Platform ''"Cassius"'', the world under its guard and the colonists on it.
+

Before you can do that however, you need to gear up. In some missions you may need to follow File:ArmorySign.png these signs to find your armory, but on ODPs they tend to be just outside the marine bunks.
+
==Game Mechanics==
Once you've made it there, you'll find the File:MiscEquipmentVendor.png '''Miscellaneous Equipment Vendor''' and the standard File:EquipmentVendor.png '''Equipment Vendor'''. These vendors have everything that a marine needs to kick ass and make Earth proud, but for now we'll keep it simple with a basic loadout:
+
=== General ===
From the '''Miscellaneous Equipment Vendor''', you'll want:
+
----
<blockquote>
+
===  [[WeighingScaleWithAnEliteAndAMarine.png]] Population Balance ===
* File:box.png '''Marine Armor Kit''' - This will stop a few rounds from hurting you, until it breaks. Comes in a [[File:MarineArmorGreen.png]] few [[File:MarineArmorBrown.png]] different [[File:MarineArmorWhite]].png colors, along with a Medic variant for each.
+
Keeps one side from having 6 elites or 30 marines. Does not take into account mobile spawns.
* File:IFAK.png '''Infantry First Aid Kit (IFAK)''' - This kit has medicine that will allow you (or another marine) to stay alive. It contains:
 
<blockquote>
 
* [[File:BiofoamCanister.png]] '''Biofoam Canister''', full of a miracle chemical that can do many things such as heal wounds, broken bones and repair organs to an extent, but more severe cases will warrant additional aid.
 
* [[File:GreyPill.png]] '''Bicaridine''', for healing <span style ="color:#FF0000">brute</span> damage resulting from ballistic weaponry, such as those used by the UNSC or the United Rebel Front.
 
* [[File:RedPill.png]] '''Dermaline''', for healing <span style ="color:#f5a442">burn</span> damage resulting from flames or plasma weaponry, the favorite of the Covenant.
 
* [[File:PolyPill.png]] '''Polypseudomorphine''', a super-painkiller that will make you nigh invincible in exchange for obscuring your vision.
 
* [[File:GreyPill.png]] '''Iron''' and a File:ChocoBar.png '''Chocolate Bar''', to fix blood loss resulting from bleeding or repeatedly taking plasma hits.
 
</blockquote>
 
* [[File:AmmoBeltUNSC.png]] '''Ammunition Storage Belts''' - They let you carry up to 7 magazines/shell boxes/etc, along with other things like emergency oxygen tanks, knives and armor repair kits.
 
* [[File:ARK.png]] '''Armor Repair Kits''' - These let you repair your armor, keeping it in shape and stopping bullets. Comes in a miniature variant as well, able to fit in smaller spaces such as your armor's storage but holding less repair materials.
 
<blockquote>
 
To store these, you can use a '''Tactical Hardcase (Armor Kits)''' to store three of them in a single pouch slot. Different hardcases allow for similar effects, though they only work for their designated type of item.
 
</blockquote>
 
* '''Earplugs''' - To prevent deafness from things exploding in your face.
 
</blockquote>
 
  
Now, from the '''Equipment Vendor''', you have a few weapon options to choose from:
+
=== [[File:TacHUD.png]] HUD Drops ===
<blockquote>
+
Officers get to call in supply drops.
  
* [[File:Magnum.png]] '''M6D Magnum''' - Has the highest base damage out of all vendor weapons and will let you move without a slowdown but it deals less damage against shielded enemies than other options.
+
Note: Personalized drops only take into account items you have equipped (hands included) at the time of opening or refreshing the pop-up tab.
* [[File:M90.png]] '''M90 tactical shotgun''' - This '''''will''''' screw over anything that you can get the drop on, unless it's full of combat drugs. Can be loaded with buckshot or slugs (''or both!'') for raw damage or armor penetration, respectively. Also requires to be pumped after each shot.
+
 
* [[File:M392.png]] '''M392 Designated Marksman Rifle''' - Works best at middle-to-long range, great for punching through armor and a few targets.
+
=== Combat ===
* [[File:BR55.png]] '''BR55 Battle Rifle''' - <big>'''What the FUCK does this thing do???'''</big>
+
----
* [[File:MA5B.png]] '''MA5B Assault Rifle''' and the [[File:M7smg.png]] '''M7 submachine gun''' - Both are great leadspitters sporting high firerate and big magazines, but the MA5B is more accurate at range while the M7 has no slowdown and can be used with just one hand at the expense of accuracy.
+
=== Grenade Cooking? ===
</blockquote>
+
Drop it, disable throw, pick it up then throw it. [TO BE CONFIRMED] Timer doesn't go while it's on the ground (unless it's already been there and you picked it up then dropped it)
 +
 
 +
=== Automatic Reloads ===
 +
Clicking a magazine-based weapon with a magazine in your active hand allows you to automatically reload it.
 +
* With [[File:Grab.png]] '''grab''' intent enabled, you can do a tactical reload that will switch the magazine in your weapon with the one in your active hand. [specify times? maybe not...]
 +
* With [[File:Harm.png]] '''harm''' intent enabled, you can do a speed reload that is faster than a tactical reload but will drop the loaded magazine on the ground.
 +
 
 +
=== [[File:CrosshairFiring.png]] Click-dragging ===
 +
Lets you redirect fire but wont hit as often. Also definitely screws you if you're fighting flyers as you're required to click on their sprite to change targetting elevation.
 +
 
 +
=== [[File:Energy_Sword.png]] Executions ===
 +
Melee weapons can be used to execute unconscious enemies, allowing you to ensure they cannot be resurrected (unless they have already ghosted).
 +
To do this, click on a prone player with a melee weapon on your active hand while targetting their chest with grab intent. If you have done it correctly and the target is not [[Guide_to_Medicine|braindead]], you will receive a message indicating the beginning of the execution and must remain still for X seconds to complete it. Once it is finished, smack sound.
 +
/the executed player will be forcibly ghosted.
 +
=== Dodge Rolling ===
 +
e
 +
o
 +
[[File:DodgeRollExample.gif|thumb|right|An ODST doing a backflip over a table. Hell, yeah.]]
 +
Dodge rolling can be used to evade attacks, or quickly move across obstacles such as tables. For most species the rolling distance is 2 tiles, but some such as the T'vaoans
 +
To use it, you must [[Guide_to_Macros|create macros]] for the following verbs:
 +
- "roll-north"
 +
- "roll-south"
 +
- "roll-east"
 +
- "roll-west"
 +

After you've picked a weapon, remember to vend yourself some magazines/shell boxes for it. You can also store File:CKnife.png '''Combat Knives''' in your boots and File:M9Frag.png '''Frag Grenades''' or File:MiniARK.png '''Miniature Armor Repair Kits''' in your armor.
+
THIS has all the vendors:

File:NewbLoadout.png|Once you're done, you should have something that looks like this. Experiment with different components to find what suits you best!

Now, you will have to figure out the weakpoints of this particular ODP to keep the Covenant from planting a bomb there and blow the place to bits, They always have 3, 2 assigned at random and 1 in the <span style ="color:#c42727">'''MAC Control Room'''</span>. The 2 random points can be located in:
 
* <span style ="color:#316de6">'''The Firing Range'''</span>
 
* <span style ="color:#e6ad31">'''Cargo'''</span>
 
* <span style ="color:#31e640">'''Gardens'''</span>
 
* <span style ="color:#31e0e6">'''The Gym'''</span>
 
* <span style ="color:#bc31e6">'''Offices'''</span> or the adjacent hallway.
 
  
Once you find them, use your headset (:q to speak in the UNSC channel) to tell your allies of their locations so they too know where the enemy could head to. Next to Cargo is a room full of engineering supplies where you can find things to build defenses with, and the equipment vendors hold two machinegun types:
+
THIS has all the URF subfaction gear (DMIs)
# ChaingunMountedRight.pngChainguns, to send a hail of bullets down range.
+
https://github.com/HaloSpaceStation/HaloSpaceStation13/tree/alpha/code/modules/halo/factions/npc_factions/gear
# HMGHeavy Machine Guns, with less bullets overall but more stopping power.
 
  
Now that you're geared and know where to defend, all that's left to do is wait. Engage in banter with your mates, check out your new toys at the firing range, or read one of our other [[guides]], such as [[Combat Mechanics]], [[Vehicles]] or [[Gamemodes]].

While weapon variety depends on your species, a few weapons remain constant:
 
Plasma Rifles, which lack the need for magazines and allow for almost-constant fire as long as you don't let them overheat.
 
Needlers, whose eponymous needles track targets if you click on them and, if enough embed, cause them to supercombine (i.e. explode).
 
Plasma Pistols, which can be overcharged to fire a bolt that disables headsets, full-body shields and disable active camouflage.
 
Plasma Grenades, which can stick to targets (both friend and foe) if thrown after 1 second after priming them and before 3 seconds have passed since.

Some species, such as the Unggoy, are naturally armored against the vacuum of space, and you won't need an oxygen supply since they breathe methane and spawn with a tank of it in their backs.
 
  
Now that you're geared and know the assault plan, all that's left to do is wait. Engage in banter with your mates, check out your new toys at the firing range, or check out one of our other [[guides]], such as [[Combat Mechanics]] or [[Gamemodes]].

HEY! LISTEN! 64x64 FOR MOBS AND ITEMS THAT USE THE ENTIRE TILE!! 32x32 FOR ITEMS/MACHINERY/ALL ELSE! ^THIS guy was right! Just put |32px on everything that ends up too big, the big sprites will be great for the (eventual) items-other-than-guns page.

HEY! Turns out 32x62 works best to avoid the "big space".

How to make big sprites for guides:

  1. Open the .dmi you need in Dream Maker.
  2. Take a picture of the sprite you want, preferably as close to its original 32x32 square as posible.
  3. Paste the picture in Photopea.
  4. Depending on how much of the 32x32 .dmi area the sprite uses:
    1. If the sprite does NOT use the full 32x32 area, center a 64x32 area on the sprite (might end up as 640x320 or so in Photopea). We do this to keep avoid an ugly-looking space when pairing text with images.
    2. If the sprite uses the full 32x32 area, skip to the next step.
  5. Use "Magic Wand" to select the background. A tolerance of 50 is usually enough to properly separate the BG, but you may have to lower it for some sprites.
  6. DEL the selected areas (should be just the BG).
  7. Export it as a 64 by 64 image

BINGO BANGO BIG SPRITES! Now to do this for all the ones I've alredy done... aha...

If everything looks terrible from this embiggening then put |32px at their ends to bring 'em back to native.

For gifs, use these for layer names to frame them as GIF frames.

_a_frm2,200

_a_frm1,200

_a_frm0,100


They'd be, from top to down: frame 3, 2, 1.

NEVERMIND! Make a gif straight from the .dmi to get the intervals, paste that into Photopea then start making PNGs with the interval names.

Put the TOC on the right side of the screen, figure out the possibility of putting it up after the icons.

Welcome to the server! This guide is meant to guide you through the basics of Halostation 13, from spawning in to getting into fights. While this page focuses on the former, links at the bottom will be provided so you can learn the initial loop of each of the server's factions.

Before you Begin

  • To ensure a smooth experience, use these settings.

Character Creation (replace inner headers with bold+big(?) to keep them from apearing on the TOC when going live, keep as-is here for ease of writing)

While most of the Character Creation options, some of them the features are inconsequential, a few Already familiar with Baystation12's character setup page? Skip to the faction guides. [Steal this stuff from the CM13 wiki.]


Some roles spawn with different gear depending on their title, such as Marines with the "EVA Operations Marine" title spawning with armor resistant to the vacuum of space (at the detriment of protection). Loadout tab is mostly intended? synergyc? to be used for Colonist and Insurrectionist roles, as Covenant roles cannot spawn with loadout items and they also conflict with most UNSC gear (i.e. uniforms, armor, etc.) everything in the glasses tab overriding the HUDs As a general rule of thumb:

  • UNSC roles use this color scheme.
  • Covenant roles use this color scheme.
  • URF roles use this color scheme.

Keep in mind that older gamemodes may use different colors for each faction.

Reclamation Rewrite

Phase 1: Assault

Bomb the ODP.

UNSC Objective Covenant Objective no urf LOL!
The United Nations Space Command are the strong arm of the Unified Earth Government, fighting both an extinction war against the Covenant and an internal insurgency fronted by the United Rebel Front. The Covenant are a hegemony of alien species rallied under the holy decree of the Prophets: the anihilation of the human race. The United Rebel Front are several groups of UNSC defectors, black marketeers or simple outer colonists vying to overthrow the Unified Earth Government due to their lack of support and ovewrhelming taxation.

Phase 2: Scanning

Plant a scanner, don't leave it, don't let a Field Agent plant a bomb on it.

Phase 3: Retrieval

GTFO with the oddly-shaped rock and glass the place to bits. Figure out how to proc the glass condition.

Victory Conditions

Main Page Changes, building off the work of TopHatPenguin.

About The Server

Halo: Space Station Evolved is a combat-roleplay orientated server based on the Halo Universe where players can affect how the canon develops. There is a three way war brewing between the United Nations Space Command, United Rebel Front and the vast Covenant Empire. One will reign supreme above all the rest, will your contributions make a difference on the story?

Game Mechanics

General


WeighingScaleWithAnEliteAndAMarine.png Population Balance

Keeps one side from having 6 elites or 30 marines. Does not take into account mobile spawns.

TacHUD.png HUD Drops

Officers get to call in supply drops.

Note: Personalized drops only take into account items you have equipped (hands included) at the time of opening or refreshing the pop-up tab.

Combat


Grenade Cooking?

Drop it, disable throw, pick it up then throw it. [TO BE CONFIRMED] Timer doesn't go while it's on the ground (unless it's already been there and you picked it up then dropped it)

Automatic Reloads

Clicking a magazine-based weapon with a magazine in your active hand allows you to automatically reload it.

  • With File:Grab.png grab intent enabled, you can do a tactical reload that will switch the magazine in your weapon with the one in your active hand. [specify times? maybe not...]
  • With File:Harm.png harm intent enabled, you can do a speed reload that is faster than a tactical reload but will drop the loaded magazine on the ground.

File:CrosshairFiring.png Click-dragging

Lets you redirect fire but wont hit as often. Also definitely screws you if you're fighting flyers as you're required to click on their sprite to change targetting elevation.

Energy Sword.png Executions

Melee weapons can be used to execute unconscious enemies, allowing you to ensure they cannot be resurrected (unless they have already ghosted). To do this, click on a prone player with a melee weapon on your active hand while targetting their chest with grab intent. If you have done it correctly and the target is not braindead, you will receive a message indicating the beginning of the execution and must remain still for X seconds to complete it. Once it is finished, smack sound. /the executed player will be forcibly ghosted.

Dodge Rolling

e

o
File:DodgeRollExample.gif
An ODST doing a backflip over a table. Hell, yeah.

Dodge rolling can be used to evade attacks, or quickly move across obstacles such as tables. For most species the rolling distance is 2 tiles, but some such as the T'vaoans To use it, you must create macros for the following verbs: - "roll-north" - "roll-south" - "roll-east" - "roll-west"
