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.

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".
 +
 
 +
<big>How to make big sprites for guides:</big>
 +
# 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.

+
NEVERMIND! Make a gif straight from the .dmi to get the intervals, paste that into Photopea then start making PNGs with the interval names.
Before stepping into the fray, however, remember to read the [[rules]] to avoid risking a ban.

* Covenant roles use this color scheme.

Rise and shine, marine. A 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 while a support fleet is on the way. Before you can do that however, you need to gear up.

=== Getting Your Stuff ===
+
==Game Mechanics==
Onboard some vessels you may need to follow [[File:SignArmory.png]] '''these''' floorsigns to find your armory, but on ODPs they tend to be just outside the bunks.
+
=== General ===
Once you've made it there, you'll find the [[File:VendorMiscUNSC.png]] '''Miscellaneous Equipment Vendors''' and the standard [[File:VendorEquipmentUNSC.png]] '''Equipment Vendors'''. 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:
+
----
 +
===  [[WeighingScaleWithAnEliteAndAMarine.png]] Population Balance ===
 +
Keeps one side from having 6 elites or 30 marines. Does not take into account mobile spawns.
  
From the [[File:VendorMiscUNSC.png]] '''Miscellaneous Equipment Vendor''', you'll want:
+
=== [[File:TacHUD.png]] HUD Drops ===
<blockquote>
+
Officers get to call in supply drops.
* [[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 and a spaceproof variant.
 
* [[File:IFAK.png]] '''Infantry First Aid Kit ''' - This kit has medicine that will allow you (or another marine) to stay alive, click your uniform with it on your active hand to attach it. It contains:
 
<blockquote>
 
* [[File:BiofoamCanister.png]] '''Biofoam Canisters''', 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. '''Injecting more than one canister within a short time will overdose and kill you.'''
 
* [[File:GreyPill.png]] '''Bicaridine''', for healing <span style ="color:#FF0000">brute</span> damage resulting from ballistic weaponry, mainly 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 but obscures your vision.
 
* [[File:GreyPill.png]] '''Iron''' and a [[File:ChocolateBar.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 [[File:ARKMini.png]] miniature variant as well, able to fit in smaller spaces such as your armor's storage and repair armor at a faster speed, but holding less repair materials.
 
<blockquote>
 
<blockquote>
 
<big>'''!'''</big> You can use a [[File:HardcaseGenericUNSC.png]] '''Tactical Hardcase (Armor Kits)''' to store three of them in a single pouch slot. Different hardcases allow for similar effects, though this only works for their designated type of item.
 
</blockquote>
 
</blockquote>
 
* [[File:Earmuffs.png]] '''Earplugs''' - To prevent deafness from things exploding in your face.
 
</blockquote>
 
  
Now, from the [[File:VendorEquipmentUNSC.png]] '''Equipment Vendor''', you have a few weapon options to choose from:
+
Note: Personalized drops only take into account items you have equipped (hands included) at the time of opening or refreshing the pop-up tab.
<blockquote>
 
* [[File:M6D_New.png ]] '''M6D Magnum''' - Packs a punch while letting you move without a slowdown, but it deals less damage against shielded enemies than other options.
 
* [[File:M90.png]] '''M90 Tactical Shotgun''' - This '''''will''''' screw over anything that you can close the distance 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''' - Great for punching through armor and a few kinds of objects such as airlocks, vendors and lockers. Accuracy improves while using the scope.
 
* [[File:BR55.png]] '''BR55 Battle Rifle''' - A middle point between the DMR and the AR, this rifle comes with long-range capabilities and a decent volume of fire.
 
* [[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 one hand at the expense of accuracy.
 
[[File:NewbLoadoutUNSC.png|thumb|Once you're done, you should have something that looks like this. Experiment to find what suits you best!]]
 
</blockquote>
 
  
After you've picked a weapon, remember to vend yourself some ammo for it. You can also store [[File:CombatKnife.png]] '''Combat Knives''' in your boots and [[File:M9.png]] [[File:SmokeGrenadeUNSC.png]] '''Grenades''' in your armor. As these are the bare essentials, you'll be left with some room for variation in your kit; you could try pairing an MA5B with a Magnum and a hardcase with ammo for it, or a [[File:Machete.png]] '''Machete''' if you're feeling brave.
+
=== 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)
  
Once you're geared you must also ensure that you're well fed, as it will allow you to move without a hunger slowdown and help your blood regeneration, useful for avoiding plasma bolts and not dying from them. The mess hall is located directly starboard (i.e. north) of your bunks and has a few voice-operated machines called [[File:Replicator.png]] '''replicators''' that can get you something to eat, just say "menu" in their proximity to know what's available.
+
=== 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.
  
=== What To Do ===
+
=== [[File:CrosshairFiring.png]] Click-dragging ===
[[File:ODPControlRoomAccess.png|thumb|right|This button controls the MAC Control Room's blast doors.]]
+
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.
Now, to prepare the Cassius for defense, you will have to find the locations of the [[File: ODPWeakpointGif.gif]] '''structural weakpoint markers''' of this particular ODP. The Covenant will try to plant and detonate a bomb in one of these to knock the Cassius out of orbit and begin their invasion of the planet. They always have 3 weakpoints, 2 assigned at random and 1 in the <span style ="color:#c42727">'''Magnetic Accelerator Cannon (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.
 
''<sup>*Marked on the ODP map above.</sup>''
 
  
Once you find them, use your headset (with the "''':q'''" prefix to speak in the <span style ="color:#193a9f">'''UNSC radio channel'''</span>) 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 also hold coils of [[File:BarbedWire.png]] '''barbed wire''' and two machinegun types which can greatly boost your defenses' staying power:
+
=== [[File:Energy_Sword.png]] Executions ===
# [[File:ChaingunKit.png]] '''Chainguns''', to send a hail of bullets down the hallway.
+
Melee weapons can be used to execute unconscious enemies, allowing you to ensure they cannot be resurrected (unless they have already ghosted).
# [[File:HMGkit.png]] '''Heavy Machine Guns''', with a worse rate of fire and less bullets overall but more stopping power in each.
+
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.
Keep in mind that if they are deployed, however, they must be guarded to prevent the enemy from packing and hiding them, destroying them, or even using them against you and your brothers in arms.

[[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"
  
Aside from trying to seize the weakpoints, the Covenant may also try to destroy the MAC as it is the only thing keeping them from destroying the station with ship-to-ship weapons. To do that, they must destroy the [[File:ConsoleUNSCGIF.gif]] '''loading''' and its [[File:MACAutoFire.gif]] '''automated firing control''' consoles. Make sure to keep both of them safe and the MAC loaded, in case you have to manually bring something down. To access the Control Room, find the button that controls the blast doors in the Command Center next to the MAC Cannon.

Now that you're geared and know where to defend, all that's left to do is hold out until the support fleet arrives. They expect to be here by operation time '''01:10''', but if the ODP goes down they'll take longer. Until first contact happens however, you can shoot the breeze with your fellow marines, check out your new toys at the firing range, or read one of our other [[guides]] to learn about the server's [[Combat Mechanics|combat mechanics]], [[Guide to Vehicles|vehicles]] or [[Reclamation#Second_stage:_Scanning_phase|what to do if Cassius falls.]]

Overview
Rise, warrior of the Covenant. Your vessel, the CRS-class crusier ''Unyielding Transgression'', is closing in on a heretic world for an artifact retrieval operation. Before that however, you must destroy the heretic Orbital Defense Platform guarding it. Each moment counts, as the heretics were expecting you and have summoned a support fleet expected to arrive by mission time '''01:10''', but destroying that station will delay them.

Unknown Hazard Effects:
== Preparing Yourself ==
 
First thing to do, however, is to ensure you're well fed. Being hungry slows down your speed and blood regeneration, both crucial for your survival. Within your quarters you will find [[File:VendorCov.png]] '''Food Vendors''' that can satisfy your hunger. After that, you must arm yourself. Covenant species always have their equipment and weapon vendors somewhere within their quarters, so take a look around. In the case of the Unggoy, it is the <span style ="color:#23a62e">'''room'''</span> next to their bunks.
 
 
 
From the [[File:VendorCov.png]] '''Equipment Vendor''', you'll want:
 
<blockquote>
 
* [[File:IFAKCov.png]] '''Infantry First Aid Kit ''' - This kit has medicine that will allow you (or another warrior) to stay alive, click your uniform with it on your active hand to attach it. It contains:
 
<blockquote>
 
* [[File:BiofoamCanisterCov.png]] '''Biofoam Canisters''', 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. '''Injecting more than one canister within a short time will overdose and kill you.'''
 
* [[File:GreyPill.png]] '''Bicaridine''', for healing <span style ="color:#FF0000">brute</span> damage resulting from ballistic weaponry, such as that used by the heretics.
 
* [[File:RedPill.png]] '''Dermaline''', for healing <span style ="color:#f5a442">burn</span> damage resulting from flames or plasma weaponry, such as the Covenant's.
 
* [[File:PolyPill.png]] '''Polypseudomorphine''', a super-painkiller that will make you nigh invincible but obscure your vision.
 
* [[File:GreyPill.png]] '''Iron''' and an [[File:IrukanBar.png]] '''Irukan Bar''', to fix blood loss resulting from bleeding or repeatedly taking plasma hits.
 
</blockquote>
 
* [[File:AmmoBeltCov.png]] '''Martial Belt''' - They let you carry up to 7 magazines, packs of needles or similar, along with other things like emergency oxygen tanks, small melee weapons and armor repair kits.
 
* [[File:ARKCov.png]] '''Armor Repair Kits''' - These let you repair your armor, keeping it in shape and stopping bullets. Comes in a [[File:ARKCovMini.png]] miniature variant as well, able to fit in smaller spaces such as your armor's storage and repair armor at a faster speed, but holding less repair materials.
 
<blockquote>
 
<blockquote>
 
<big>'''!'''</big> You can use a [[File:HardcaseGenericCov.png]] '''Tactical Hardcase (Armor Kits)''' to store three of them in a single pouch slot. Different hardcases allow for similar effects, though this only works for their designated type of item.
 
</blockquote>
 
</blockquote>
 
* [[File:Earmuffs.png]] '''Earplugs''' - To prevent deafness from things exploding in your face.
 
</blockquote>
 
 
 
Now, from the [[File:VendorCov.png]] '''Weapons Vendor''', you have a few weapon options to choose from:
 
<blockquote>
 
* [[File:Plasma_Rifle.png]] '''Plasma Rifles''', which lack the need for magazines and allow for almost-constant fire as long as you don't let them overheat.
 
* [[File:Needler.png]] Guided Munition Launchers (a.k.a.'''Needlers'''), whose eponymous needles track targets if you click on them and, if enough embed, cause them to supercombine (i.e. explode).
 
* [[File:Plasma_Pistol.png]] '''Plasma Pistols''', which can be overcharged to fire a bolt that deals extra damage and disables headsets, full-body shields and active camouflage.
 
* [[File:Plasma_Grenade.png]] '''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. You can store them inside your armor.
 
''Weapon availability depends on your species, but these weapons remain constant.''
 
</blockquote>
 
Aside from those, the Unggoy also get the following heavy weapons:
 
[[File:NewbLoadoutCov.png|thumb|Once you're done, you should have something that looks like this. Experiment to find what suits you best!]]
 
<blockquote>
 
* [[File:Fule-Rod_Cannon.png]] '''Fuel Rod Cannons''', which are alien rocket launchers that also emit radiation within 2 tiles of the rods' impact site.
 
* [[File:Plasma_repeater.png]] '''Plasma Repeaters''', plasma light machineguns.
 
''It is recommended to acquire experience with standard weapons before using these.''
 
</blockquote>
 
 
 
As these are the bare essentials, you'll be left with some room for variation in your kit. You could use an explosives hardcase in your belt slot and stuff it with plasma grenades, or even run two plasma pistols at once so you can keep firing for longer.
 
 
 
== Preparing Your Ship ==
 
[[File:SuggestedShieldSettings.png|thumb|right]]
 
Once you're geared, you will have to confirm that the ship's [[File:ShieldGenerator.png]] <span style ="color:#2ccacf">'''Shield Generator'''</span> has been enabled, as this machine greatly boosts the CRS' defenses in naval combat and against boarding actions. The ODP in orbit of the world you're headed to is equipped with a Magnetic Accelerator Cannon that could easily destroy your ship if you enter its 7 overmap tile range without shields to absorb its damage, so you'll want to raise them before approaching.
 
<blockquote>
 
<big>'''!'''</big> Settings highlighted in <span style ="color:#FF0000">'''red'''</span> are must-haves. <span style ="color:#999900>'''"Atmospheric Protection"'''</span> is helpful if the ship suffers a breach and survives until its shields recover, but you may choose to forego it to let the shields last a bit longer in combat against standard deck guns and recover more quickly should they go down.
 
</blockquote>
 
You will also need to move the ship closer to the ODP, but that wont be possible until 10 minutes have passed since mission start. Here's a quick guide on how to get the ship there, should you be assigned the task when the time comes.
 
{| border="1" class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:50%" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="0"
 
|+ style="text-align:left;"|'''<big>Pocket Ship Flying Guide</big>'''
 
|<div style="float:right">
 
[[File:OvermapExample.png|thumb|right|The Overmap and the helm console.]]
 
Make your way towards the <span style ="color:#cd5400">'''bridge'''</span>. Once you're there, find the [[File:ConsoleCovenant.png]] '''Helm Control Console''', one is in the center of the room and the other is all the way on the west side.
 
Once you've found it, click on it then follow these instructions:
 
# Enable the "Direct Control" option - This will allow you to use WASD to fly.
 
# Identify the coordinates of the heretic world on the nav data - This is where you will fly towards.
 
# Subtract 9 from either axis (X,Y) - This ensures that you don't enter the ODP's 7-tile MAC range while leaving some margin for error.
 
# Fly to your new coordinates. For example, if NavData lists: "<span style ="color:#cd5400">'''<span style ="background:#000000">KS7-535:</span><span style ="color:#FFFFFF; background:#000000"> 137 : 82'''</span>" then you fly either to 137,73 or 128,82. <br>Along the way you may encounter <big>'''!'''</big> exclamation marks, they are space hazards that you must avoid.
 
# Reduce your speed as you approach - This is to prevent slipping into MAC range at the last moment.
 
# Bring the ship to a complete stop once you arrive at your new coordinates - It is recommended to do this with the cross-shaped button in the manual control panel.
 
# Disable the "Direct Control" option - Disables overmap view and lets you move away from the console safely.
 
 
 
'''<big>Do NOT use the autopilot for this</big> as it does not take space hazards into account and will place your ship directly above the planet (and next to the ODP's MAC).'''
 
|}
 
 
 
== Planning Your Assault ==
 
After checking on the shields, you and your allies will have to decide on how to bring that ODP down so you can begin your scan.  For such demolition operations, the CRS has been issued an [[File:AntimatterBomb.png]] '''Antimatter Bomb''' with a 300 second (5 minute) countdown and a 30 second defusal time, along with an [[File:ConsoleCovenant.png]] '''Explosives Requisition Device''' that can be used to recall the bomb if it is lost, both located in a <span style ="color:#999900>'''room'''</span> next to the Bridge, but how you get to the ODP is to be decided by your superiors. Usually, this means either the [[File:EMinor.png]] '''Elites''' or the [[File:BMinor.png]] '''Brutes''', but if there are none then it is to be decided by whoever has the highest rank (Ultra, Major, Minor, etc.).

=== Assault Methods ===
 
[[File:PhantomLockedEast.gif|thumb|right|A Phantom set as a mobile spawn. To do this, use the "Toggle Mobile Spawn Status" verb in the "Vehicle" tab. '''Currently bugged, players must respawn then observe to be able to use them.''']]
 
==== [[File:PhantomEast.png]] Phantom Infiltration ====
 
Your dropships, known as "Phantoms", can be used to fly to and from the ODP. They can also be turned into  mobile spawns, rendering them immobile but allowing dead players to respawn from them as Unggoy.
 
This method of entry forces most species to bring internals and use [[File:Box.png]] '''Ranger Gear''' (available from equipment vendors), sacrificing some of their protection in exchange for resistance to the vaccum of space.  Unggoy and Yanme'e, however, are naturally resistant to vacuums, and the Unggoy also spawn with internals as they breathe methane instead of oxygen. Expect to be knocked down by sudden rushes of air unless you bring magboots or a [[File:VacuumShield.gif]] '''vacuum shield''' to cover the entry point (available in the supply storage bays next to the hangar bays).
 
  
One phantom is available in each hangar (<span style ="color:#fe00ff">'''starboard'''</span> and <span style ="color:#0000ff">'''port'''</span>) and the CRS must be within 10 overmap tiles of the ODP to be able to fly to it with Phantoms.
+
Asteroid Field - hurls meteors at your ship
 +
Gas Cloud - EMPs random parts of your ship (and makes you harder to hit? confirm its not fluff)
 +
Engine Overcharge? - increased ship speed, random explosions on ship
  
==== [[File: BoardingPodCovEast.png]] Boarding Pods ====
 
Boarding Pods allow you to land inside the ODP, and maybe even next to a [[File:ODPWeakpointGif.gif]] '''structural weakpoint''' on which to plant the bomb. Likewise, it could land you infront of a marine squad or a manned [[File:ChaingunDeployedEast.png]] chaingun turret. The ODP's automated alert systems will also notify the marines of your landing 30 seconds after the fact, so you'll want to move quickly.
 
  
Pods are located on the bays west of each hangar, and the Unyielding must be within 14 overmap tiles of the ODP to be able to board it with pods.

=== Necessary Equipment ===
 
Whatever method your leaders choose, you will need something to allow you to move around. ODP maintenance corridors mostly lack any access requirements, but these items allow you to get into the rooms holding structural weakpoints or create flanking routes during combat:
 
* [[File:PlasmaCharge.png]] '''Plasma Charges''' - Let you blow things up and move around quickly, at the expense of the element of surprise (non-existant if you podded in). Takes 5 seconds to plant and 10 to detonate. Comes in 3 types:
 
<blockquote>
 
# Standard, blowing up exclusively whatever you put it on.
 
# Breaching, blowing up whatever you put it on, a small cone infront of it and a bit behind. Keep your distance!
 
# Piercing, blowing up whatever you put it on and 10 tiles infront of it in a straight line and 3 behind. Keep your distance!
 
</blockquote>
 
* [[File:ToolbeltCov.png]] '''Tools''' - Quieter than charges, get you through airlocks a bit faster with enough practice and the wirecutters can remove [[File:BarbedWire.png]] barbed wire, yet the reduced storage space may force you to use a plasma weapon. They also let you [[Guide_to_Vehicles#Repairing_Vehicles|run repairs]] if your Phantom was destroyed and you packed [[File: Nanolaminate.png]] '''nanolaminate''' sheets.
 
* [[File:Huragok.png]] '''Huragoks''' - These biological supercomputers can interface with anything, airlocks included. They can also bolt them if you're being chased or have found a place to dig in. Downside is you will have to escort them to prevent their capture.

|<div style="float:right">
 
[[File:Cassius_base_weapkoints.png|thumb|right|The heretic station that you must destroy.]]
 
ODPs always have 3 weakpoints, 2 assigned at random and 1 in the <span style ="color:#c42727">'''Magnetic Accelerator Cannon (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.
 
  
You may also notice tiny blue circles near some of the possible weakpoint spawns, they are locations that Boarding Pods can target and land at.
+
Reckon you could do a pretty sick fade-in effect with an image of each faction rallying for a raid. Remember Raze? Yeah, something like that. Replace the ARK with a fitting pict with enough transparency.
|}
+
...though it may look ''very'' scuffed on Mobile.
  
== Optional Objective: Disable the Magnetic Accelerator Cannon ==
+
== [[File:Covenantlogo.png]] Covenant Tutorial [[File:ARK.png|frameless|right]]==
[[File:MACControlRoom.png|thumb|right|The MAC control room.]]
+
The Covenant are a hegemony of alien species rallied under the holy decree of the High Prophets: the anihilation of the human race.
 
 
The MAC is the only means of self-defense that the ODP has and disabling it will let your team safely attack it with the Unyielding's deck guns, or maybe with something stronger from the [[File:ConsoleCovenant.png]] '''Long Range Requisitions Console''' in the bridge. While this isn't strictly necessary, this will grant your team another method of bringing the ODP down in case the first assault wave fails, and the control room also has a structural weakpoint where you can plant the bomb. The doors leading into the control room may be blocked by [[File:BlastDoor.png]] blast doors, which can be raised from the ODP's Command Deck (the room directly southwest of the control room itself).
 
 
 
To break into the Control Room, you will need tools or at least 2 plasma charges for some doors leading into the control room (or more if you can't get to the blast door control button). Once you're inside, you must:
 
# Destroy the [[File:ConsoleUNSCGIF.gif]] '''MAC Loading Console''' in the middle of the control board, for it allows the heretics to manually load their MAC. Charges are the '''only''' method of destroying this console, shooting or bashing it won't work.
 
# Delete the "mac_control_automated" program in the [[File:MACAutoFire.gif]] '''MAC Automated Fire Control console'''. Blowing up the console with a plasma charge will do the trick, but if you can't or don't want to use one you can also delete the program by following these steps:
 
<blockquote>
 
# Interact with the console to open the user interface.
 
# Exit the program.
 
# Open the "NTOS File Manager".
 
# Find the file and use the "DELETE" operation.
 
</blockquote>
 
 
 
=== Defense of the Control Room ===
 
The control room's small space works for and against you; if you bring a [[File:PlasmaTurretPacked.png]] '''plasma turret emplacement''' (available from weapon vendors as the "Type-52") you will be able to lock down one side of it through sheer volume of fire and keep the heretics from advancing, but they could start throwing grenades or rockets which you may not be able to dodge. It is recommended to source construction materials from the room north of the Unyielding's shield generator along with a construction materials hardcase. [[File:FullHeightBarricadeNano.png]] Full-height barricades in particular stop grenades while also letting you shoot past them <big>'''[CONFIRM THIS]'''</big>.
 
 
 
== Getting Out ==
 
Assuming you manage to find a weakpoint, plant the bomb and hold against the heretic onslaught, you will need an escape method. If you can't have a phantom fly you home, your remaining options are:
 
* [[File:EscapePodEast.png]] Find an escape pod bay and launch it to the planet, but you'll have to wait until someone can pick you up.
 
* [[File:PelicanEast.png]] Steal a dropship to escape AND deny the enemy an asset. Be prepared to adapt however, as by the time you reach the hangar you could be met by an empty bay or a group of evacuating marines.
 
 
 
Whichever option you choose, you will have 2 minutes (plus however many seconds were left on the bomb as you left) to leave as the platform's superstructure collapses. If you're still on the ODP as it deorbits, you'll be subject to a hefty (yet surviveable) amount of harm. Should you manage to stabilize yourself, you may radio for evac or use an escape pod to land on the colony. Note that using damaged escape pods will cause further harm, and that you will have to [[Guide_to_Vehicles#Repairing_Vehicles|repair them]] to be able to use them safely.
 
 
 
 
 
Once you are geared, in position and have your assault and escape plans, all that's left to do is take your leave towards the ODP. Stick with your squad, watch your firing lanes and don't forget the bomb. If you complete your mission and return to the Unyielding, or die while escaping but want to respawn and keep fighting for the Covenant, it is suggested you [[Reclamation#Second_stage:_Scanning_phase|read up on the next part of your mission.]]

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.

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.

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.

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"

Reckon you could do a pretty sick fade-in effect with an image of each faction rallying for a raid. Remember Raze? Yeah, something like that. Replace the ARK with a fitting pict with enough transparency. ...though it may look very scuffed on Mobile.
