We'll see how today goes
Shill the fuck out of it. Did you post in the community happenings thread?
 
OK that was a decent start (peaked at 9 people) but definitely the biggest problem is a lack of things to do during low pop, and second biggest is improving performance.

I have secret plans for this that I will announce when they are more complete. I think the idea to move the start time to after the MATI stream ends might also be a good idea. Does anyone know how to re-do a poll to vote on that?
The current times are pretty good as far as I'm concerned. I have some friends from multiple time zones who haven't played before but are interested in learning, and they can all make at least one of the current slots. Some of them, including me, can make both. There were three of us on the server today and we can probably be four at the same time next week.

Also, here, have this extremely brief overview of the roles that I made a while ago. I hope it's just enough information to get an idea of who the people you meet on the station are, and which jobs you might enjoy. For new players, anything in green is a pretty good starter. Edit: and don't come crying to me if some of this doesn't line up with this server's codebase. It was made for the original Kiwistation.

I don't think I still have my detailed medicine guide, unfortunately, but it doesn't apply to this server anyway so I guess that's moot.

Yes. I also messaged null to tell him to not be a nigger and promote my server (as you suggested) and he said he didnt want people to get raped and blame him (if you are reading this null then fuck you nigger I wouldn't even rape you)

At a glance I can use this, I'll go over it in detail later and if it looks good I'll add it to OP
edit: few discrepancies (pun pun -> mr deempisi, no cargo contracts), i'll put it up and just say its meant for old kiwi station

Aww fuck I've missed KiwiStation, it was great fun while it lasted. Just be careful you don't let troons fuck the server up.

<Godspeed Vladimir
 
I haven't played in years so I hopped on the get acquainted with the classic BYOND jank again in the off-hours. Stuck at arrival due to airlocks. Will play again (and hopefully leave arrival).
 
@geckogoy Please post a map of the station, if you've got one handy.

Also, this is what the tracker map looks like on the crew monitoring computer. Can that be fixed?nbJy3fZ2jw.png

Looks like a few of the books might be broken as well, not 100% sure if it's on the game side or a skill issue on mine

Nah the text file isn't there. I'm assuming most of the books grab articles from the Baystation wiki which has been changed since 2015 (for the worse).

@geckogoy Can you make a website that tracks the server's playercount? Landchad.net has a very convenient crash course if you don't know how to set up a website. You should display the server status like /tg/station does on their front page.

IMPORTANT FOR ANYONE THAT GETS STUCK IN THE ARRIVAL SHUTTLE:​

The airlocks don't work because the station isn't powered. If you play as an Engineer you can use the crowbar in your toolbelt to bust it open. If you're playing as any other role, then grab a heavy item and throw it at the glass window until it breaks. You can throw items by pressing TAB (to active hotkey mode), R and then left click. Keep picking up the item and throwing it at the window until it breaks. You'll need a heavy item such as your oxygen tank. Items like clothes and boxes won't work.

After you've been freed from the shuttle, you should go find a red toolbox and pick up an emergency crowbar from it. That way you can open all of the unpowered airlocks on the station (including the airlocks that lead to certain restricted areas).
 
One of my priorities is making sure the server restarts eventually if nobody is online so that you don't show up to an empty, powerless station. So far just been doing that manually.

Obviously the scheduled play sessions will not have that issue

For everyone who wants to contribute figuring out performance issues, when the issues are happening backspace out say " and put in .ping into your chat bar and tell me what your ping is. I've noticed a lot of people are having serious problems whilst the server has plenty of ram and CPU capacity left over.

If its not ping related then the problem is something much more subtle like some retard put a sleep into an event loop somewhere or something (IE ancient bay code screw-up).

Also, I will be there today, scheduled time is ~2HR from this post.

My performance related issue is how janky it feels to walk around. It always feels like your character takes a step and then stops for a second until he takes another step.

If we ever start playing seriously, then this will make combat impossible.
 
Rebooting with updates (made movement speed adjustments and de-corrupted map PNGs), will hold server in lobby for 5-10m then go
