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.

Before stepping into the fray, however, remember to read the rules to keep yourself from 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.
 +
 
 +
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.
 +

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.

==Game Mechanics==
 +
=== General ===
 +
----
 +
===  [[WeighingScaleWithAnEliteAndAMarine.png]] Population Balance ===
 +
Keeps one side from having 6 elites or 30 marines. Does not take into account mobile spawns.
 +
 +
=== [[File: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.
 +
 +
=== [[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:

== 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 on the map [[KS7]] as an example. Some things may vary, but the general idea is the same.''
 
Rise and shine, marine. Spaceships of The Covenant, a hegemony of several murderous alien species, have been detected on long-range scanners and HIGHCOMM expects them to be heading for the colony you were stationed to, so you've been thawed out of cryostasis to defend (the Orbital Defense Platform (ODP)).
 
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.
 
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:
 
  
From the '''Miscellaneous Equipment Vendor''', you'll want:
+
Spawn points: Mess Hall, Cryo, Bunks(?)
<blockquote>
 
# File:box.png '''Marine Armor Kit''' - This will stop a few rounds from hurting you, until it breaks. Comes in a File:GreenMarineArmor.png few File:BrownMarineArmor.png different File:WhiteMarineArmor.png colors, along with a Medic variant for each.
 
# 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:BiofoamSyringe.png '''Biofoam Syringes''', which are 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:greenpill.png '''Polypseudomorphine''', a superpainkiller 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 plasma weaponry.
 
</blockquote>
 
  
  
# File:AmmoBelt.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.
+
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.
# '''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.
+
...though it may look ''very'' scuffed on Mobile.
<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 exploding things.
 
</blockquote>
 
  
Now, from the '''Equipment Vendor''', you have a few weapon options to choose from:
+
== [[File:Covenantlogo.png]] Covenant Tutorial [[File:ARK.png|frameless|right]]==
<blockquote>
+
The Covenant are a hegemony of alien species rallied under the holy decree of the High Prophets: the anihilation of the human race.
  
# File:M6D.png '''M6D Magnum''' - Has the highest base damage out of all vendor weapons but deals less damage against shielded enemies.
+
== Scrapyard ==
# 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.
+
Use
# File:M392.png '''M392 Designated Marksman Rifle''' - Great for punching through armor.
+
file|width=1XX%
# File:BR55.png '''BR55 Battle Rifle''' - Comes with a non
+
to ensure it is relative to monitors and phones.
# File:MA5B.png '''MA5B Assault Rifle''' and the File:M7.png '''M7 submachine gun''' - Both are gread 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, albeit at an accuracy malus.
 
</blockquote>
 
  
Once 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.
+

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 have to figure out where this particular ODP has weakpoints. They always have 3; 2 assigned at random and 1 in the MAC Control Room. The Covenant will try to plant a bomb in there to blow the place to bits, so you'll

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.

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.

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.
