  2. In this guide, you will learn various ways of finding, editing and uploading or updating images to the wiki. For this guide, it is recommended but not required to have: A GIthub Account. Local download of the Paradise station repository with the private server setup. 1. Checking for duplicates. Before you think of adding any additional files to the wiki, you should check if that file already exists on it. To do that, you need to go to the search page with Multimedia selected. This will allow you to search for files and files only. Simply type in a few keywords that might relate to the desired file. If you have found the file you were looking for, you can skip over to "6. Adding the file to an article" or if you were looking to update, "5. Uploading/Updating the image". Even if you get nothing out of a search, you should know that the search page is well...a little finicky at best and back-stabbing at worst. The way to tame it is with the * wildcard. It will search for all files that begin with a prefix before the *. Here's an example of how it can help: Searching sunflower only gets me "Sunflower Crown.png", while I want to find the file of a Sunflower, not a crown. What do I do? I search for sunflower* and suddenly, the search page smartens up and shows me all possible files starting with sunflower. Great! 2. Finding the .dmi file. You were unable to to find the image on the wiki? Don't worry, this just means you can contribute even more by finding and uploading it yourself! 2.a. Using GIthub. Log onto your Github account and head over to the Paradise Station repository. From there, you can begin searching by pressing / or hovering over the search bar in the top right corner. Search for keywords of the item and find a the most fitting file containing it, and press CTRL+F to search for .dmi. If there isn't one inside, you can try searching by copy and pasting the subtypes of the item into the search bar and adding AND .dmi to find it. 2.b Using a private server. Assuming you have already launched your private server and logged into it, join in or observe and go into the Debug tab on the top right corner, under which you will find the Spawn verb. It will open a window which will let you type the path to the item you want to spawn, but with most short named items you can just type in a keyword and search for it under the paths given to you, or get the path from the Github. After spawning your desired item, right click it and choose View Variables. It will open a window and give you a search bar. Search for .dmi. 2.BONUS. Using the Icon Search. Simply go onto https://scrubby.melonmesa.com/icon/search/organ_extractor?codebase=paradise and search for the icon_state of the file you want to get. You can get the icon_state from the Github. With this method you can save the images provided and skip over to "4. Resizing". WARNING: THIS METHOD MIGHT NOT WORK IN THE FUTURE AND THE WEBSITE IS SLOW TO UPDATE. 3. Exporting the file. Now that you have found the .dmi file, you can either find it on the Github or on your own local repository under the icons folder and it's relevant subfolders. Open it, and you will be presented with the GLORIOUS DreamMaker. Here you can look for the sprite you want to add, and double click it to open it. Now click Icon on the top left corner and choose Export. It will open a window letting you choose the file extension and location. Choose .PNG for the best quality. Make sure to name your files in Headline Case, where every word is capitalized and separated by a space! 4. Resizing to 64x64. You now have your file, but the wiki is way past the age of 32 by 32 files. This means we need to resize it! Normally programs aren't made for resizing pixel art, as they provide some interpolation or compression to the images with every resize, so you will need to tweak the settings a little. 4.a Using GIMP. Open the image you would want to resize then go into Image and choose Scale Image. In the window that shows up, choose 64 width and 64 height with Interpolation set to None. 4.b Using Paint.net. Open the image you want to resize and press CTRL+R to open a window letting you resize it. Set Resampling to Nearest Neighbor and width and height both to 64 pixels. 4.BONUS. Mass resizing images with ImageMagick. Have to upload or update tens of files due to a new pull request or old files? Free and Open Source Software comes to help. Putting all of the images into one folder and running "mogrify -filter point -resize 200% *" will resize all of the images to 64x64. Download ImageMagick here. 5. Uploading/Updating the image. Head over to the wiki and on the side panel you should see "Upload file". Click on it to be transported to the file uploading page. Now that you are on the file uploading page, simply click Browse, choose the file you wish to upload, add a short summary if it's something complex, add proper licensing and you can click Upload. Now your file is on the wiki! Lets add it to an article! Legend: Destination filename - Set automatically to the filename on your system when adding a file through the Browse button. Summary - Short summary of the file. Useful for adding keywords to make it easier to search for in the future! Licensing - The licensing of the file uploaded. They have short descriptions of when to use them, but you can ask on #wiki-development on the Discord if you are unsure. Watch this file - Notifies you whenever the file is updated. Ignore any warnings - Ignores warnings of filenames not matching. DON'T USE THIS. If you wish to update an image instead, go into the image's page and select Upload a new version of this file on the bottom of the page. It will redirect you to a shorter version of the file uploading page, which will let you update the file and add a short description of the changes. Please be aware that the files on the wiki take a while to update to their new state, so it's recommended to clear your browser cache and wait out a bit for it to change. 6. Adding the image to an article. To add an image to an article, simply put [[File:FILENAME.png]] anywhere in your article with FILENAME representing the filename of your desired image. Make sure to follow the style of which previous files have been added onto the article to keep the editing smooth for the future! Congratulations on reading through the guide! I hope it will be helpful to you, future Wiki Contributor!

  3. So we all tend to play command roles or have to step up as acting whenever we play but there is no true guide to command! Except there is now. For the past few weeks, I have been picking up from where a previous wiki contributor has started and finished their goal. Inside you can find command expectations, how to deal with unruly staff, some things you do as heads of staff, and specific mini-guides for each head of staff + the captain and how they interact with their department. Now this is not a guide to specific command roles but general command to give a push in the right direction. Please submit any feedback here or in #wiki-development on the discord as it is still a WIP until I finish review with the other wiki contributors. Guide to Command Have a fun read!

  7. So, I'm thinking pens could have a 'use' function where they do the little 'click' thing they do that people get addicted to sometimes and a pen won't write if it's not clicked? I see this as a QoL because it's a little niche thing that people might like the noise of. If this is written incorrectly, apologies.

  11. So actually been considering this for a bit now, only recently thought of it again. Now I know we have a screenshot thread HOWEVER, this is meant to be for totally out of context chat pictures from the Discord. It could be anything, just so long as it can easily be taken completely wrong when thought of/read out of context! Again; Discord only! NOT in-game! When possible try and include the name of the person that said it in the screenshot, just so everyone can bully thank them for their funny contribution. To start things off, I give you this;

  12. The Antag Policy tab can be incredibly vague in certain details that are specific to their own antags. While with basic traitors, it can be really easy to understand that you shouldn't just muderbone or powergame, some more specific antags like the Nuclear Operatives or the Abductors feel incredibly vague or misleading with their rules. Other things like Cults and Revenants are just straight up absent. Hence, I propose a rework! Google Doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xENm0oKFOFAy8v1sMfx-aFd2L_z7JVOGFiXEq3RKGDI/edit?usp=sharing Rules (As of now. Check Antag Policy): https://www.paradisestation.org/rules/ Feel free to add comments and criticisms to the Google Doc if you feel like something needs a little bit more fine tuning (Just type into the document like you're editting it and it'll add it as a suggestion for me to add later). Thank you! (adding this for those that don't want to see the doc) Antagonist Traitor Traitors can be any sort of person that (friendly or not) have to complete their goal by any means necessary. If you don’t wish to be antagonistic to crewmembers, then you shouldn’t be an antag, even if you want the special benefits of being an antag. If you do not wish to be one, you should Ahelp or disable antags in your menu. Being a Friendly Antagonist has more RP downsides than upsides and is generally frowned upon. (However, in special circumstances, you can be allowed to be temporarily friendly) Collateral damage is acceptable within limits. It is usually a good idea to prevent collateral damage. Try to lure or create a situation where collateral damage is minimized or prevented. When in doubt, Ahelp it out. If you want to be a murder hobo, ask an admin. Changeling Changelings are meant to absorb DNA to infiltrate and complete their goals, not go full murder hobo. Changelings are not considered crewmembers, and are not (IN RP), the character you selected. They are a slug that is using your DNA to hide amongst ranks. Vampire Vampires are bloodsucking nightmares, but even they have limitations. It doesn’t matter if you wish to be friendly towards crewmembers and not be a living nightmare, you must complete your goals. You can kill crew members for their blood, but if it seems you are using that as an excuse to kill people en masse, an admin may wish for you to tone down. An IC reasoning to donate blood (Temporary allies, trusted) to a vampire is required. Doing so because you like vampires is not a valid excuse. Even if they are an IC friend, they must be trusted enough to donate blood. Doing so purely because they are a friend can be considered metafriending and poor RP. It doesn’t matter if they are the friend of your character, they are still an antagonistic vampire. Nuclear Operatives Nuclear Operatives are syndicates that must work with other syndies and their team. Their main goal is to detonate the nuke that is present on the station. You should be working with your team. Intentionally Going off on your own to do your own thing can result in being replaced, or getting Jobbanned. (Unless you were forcefully separated from your team) EVA travel is recommended to be a nukie. If you don’t know how to EVA, Mentorhelp for a short tutorial, look it up here, or ask to be replaced so as to not let your team down. Wizards Wizards are not friendly. Their main goal is to cause astronomical amounts of chaos to force the EVAC shuttle to be called, or until the round ends. If you are being too friendly, you could potentially be jobbanned, replaced, or have other Wizards hunt you down. Unless CC were to say otherwise, Wizards are terrorists and should be treated as such. One should never assume they are ‘Friendly’. The following rules do not apply to event wizards. Do what you want. Slaughter/Laughter/Shadow/Pulse Demon Your main goal is to kill anyone who isn’t a demon. If you are considered a friendly demon, you may end up getting jobbanned or replaced. You cannot aid or refuse to attack the crew. Attacking the one who created you so you can help the crew can be considered being a ‘Friendly Demon’. You can kill them whenever you want, but please kill them at some point. Abductors The Abductor’s main goal is to abduct crewmembers and experiment on them. They are allowed to use any means necessary to abduct people, but they should not be sabotaging the station just because, like stealing the whole armory, destroying power production, and other methods of sabotage. Victims are meant to complete a given objective, though the same rules for abductors apply to their victims; do not sabotage the station if you don’t have to. Terror Spiders Terror spiders are intelligent beings that can understand Galactic Common. Terror spiders must obey the will of the Royalty. The Royalty’s (Tier 4 Queen of Terror, though power can transfer to Tier 3 spiders if a Tier 4 is not present) goal is mainly to expand and defend the nest by any means necessary. Very rarely will you ever broker peace with the crew, and you should be discouraging yourself from doing so. Xenomorph Xenomorphs are, despite being intelligent beings, have their own two languages and cannot understand crewmember languages. Hivemind and Xenomorph should be done in RP, though they are allowed to use names of areas and things, though they should usually use a dumbed-down version of places and things (Healing Place, Red Place, stompy thing) unless elaboration is necessary. Xenomorphs should follow the will of their queen, which usually involves protecting and expanding the hive. Although, a queen can broker peace between crew members who have a Hive Node and can communicate with them. Crewmembers with a Hive Node can be considered part of the hive by will of the Queen. However, if they attempt to attack the hive, their sovereignty is automatically lost. Blob Blobs are a hivemind and obtain information from the crew. Blob minions should follow the will of their overlords, which usually involves expanding and sabotaging. Blobs should sabotage, kill, and expand themselves (With exception of the Singularity or Tesla Coil containment, please do not do that because that could kill you) and survive until the end of the round. Cultist The cultist’s goal should be tearing the veil to release their god/goddess. You should kill or convert any and all threats to the cult, such as security guards and the chaplain, as well as anyone that wishes to be a vigilante. Being friendly is failrp and can have action taken. Attempting to deconvert yourself can result in jobban. Willingly joining a cult must have an IC reason. Saying ‘You want to join a cult because I don’t like people’ isn’t a valid reason. Revenant Revenants should drain the life force of crewmembers and scare people. However, friendships between crewmembers can be permitted by an admin. Also with Ahelp, you can ask to have the memories of the person you once were, but by default, you do not remember the person you once were. Ghost Roles Ashwalker Do not board or attack the mining station, labor camp, or space station without Admin Permission. Kiting creatures like megafauna counts as attacking. Permission is not required if you are forced onto the mining station or space station. Ashwalkers are a tribal species that do not understand complex technology. You are allowed to attack and make relations with anyone who isn’t an Ashwalker Lavaland Elite You are unable to attack the mining station, labor camp, or space station, unless the Shaft Miner enters the mining station and labor camp when you are fighting it, but you must withdraw once you are no longer interested or finish the fight. If you wish to attack the stations directly, you must have admin permission. Lavaland elites are still monsters, and are not allied to any humanoid species or enemy monster. You should not cooperate or act friendly to Station Crew without Ahelp or extreme circumstances. If you are forced onto the space station, you are allowed to attack anyone you see. Until you die, of course. Sentient Animals Sentient Animals, despite being smarter, should still act like their original animal, just… smarter. Free Golems Despite the name, you are not an antagonist, and shouldn’t act like one. Avoiding station affairs is advised, and actually boarding it requires admin permission. As a special rule, don’t build an AI. It doesn’t end well for… anyone involved. Derelict Crewmates You are related to Nanotrasen and shouldn’t be antagonistic to crewmembers, unless they threaten your life first. Your goal is to escape your situation and find help. Free Golem AI rule applies to Derelict Crewmates. Syndicate Researcher You cannot leave the Base without admin permission You are a syndicate, and must work with Traitors, Nukies, and other employees. Do not work against them. You are allowed to use lethals against trespassers You cannot draw Nanotrasen attention in any way, since your base is supposed to be secret. Admin permission is needed to interact with the station. Other Revolutionary (adding this, even though rebels are out of rotation) Revolutionary Leaders are meant to recruit more rebels and shouldn’t act like cowards unless they absolutely have to. A rebel’s goal is to kill the Head of Staff by any means necessary. You are allowed to attack anyone who dares stand in your way, but do not randomly attack people who are not involved. Morph (Adding this to other because I have no clue what the heck the morph does at this point anymore, and if it's even a proper antag anymore) Morphs are meant to consume as much biomass as they can. They must consume creatures and items. Crewmembers are your enemies unless an admin says otherwise.

  13. Hey there. To clarify some stuff. You are well within your rights to get some one to help you ooc to figure out the server. Just need to make sure the currently online server admins are aware. We have allowed this type of thing quite a few times before and I see no reason why we wouldn't in this case. While we would prefer you mhelp questions we completely understand that sometimes that may not work for every one.

  15. Using voice chat to communicate with another player during the round counts as metagaming, if you are using it to get information your character is not supposed to get. You can use our server discord help channel to chat with a mentor that wishes to help who can explain to you differnet aspects of the game and such, however it will not be used to simply play together. You can of course chat with different player or mentor or anyone else in discord voice, as long as you are not sharing IC intel.

  24. Name: Tihichat Age: 25 Gender: Male Race: Vox Blood Type: O+ General Occupational Role(s): Roboticist, Medical Doctor, NT Rep Biography: Tihichat struggles with interpreting social cues when spoken to in Common, but their vocabulary and understanding of situations in Vox-Pidgin suggest that they recently left their Arkship and still have much to learn about non-vox cultures. But don't be fooled - they are actually quite intelligent. In fact, it's possible that they intentionally play up their confusion in order to catch others off guard, whether it be security officers or the person they're conversing with in common. Tihi also expresses frustration about the prevalence of space-racism against Vox across NanoTrasen stations, and is particularly offended by the derogatory term "chicken" and the disturbing practice of using Vox limbs for culinary purposes namely "KFV". Interestingly, when conversing with other Vox in Vox-Pidgin, Tihi often refers to them as "kins" but may use more derogatory terms such as "dustlungs" when referring to other species while also make insulting comments about humans, referring to them as "backward monkeys". Employment Records: During their interview with Nanotrasen, Tihichat, like many other Vox, provided limited information about themselves and their culture. They simply identified as a "Primalis" with a variety of skills. Tihichat has consistently excelled in their roles, particularly as a roboticist in the science department and as a medical doctor responsible for treating patients and performing surgeries. Their excellent performance has led to Tihichat being appointed as a Nanotrasen Representative, where they have consistently provided high levels of satisfaction. Especially as they are supportive to the company - as long the company provide "shines" to them. However, there is a major concern regarding Tihichat's involvement in the illegal production and sale of hard drugs in order to acquire more credits, particularly in their role as a shop owner. As a result, a prominent red note has been added that states "FOR GOD SAKES DO NOT TRUST THEM WITH A CHEM DISPENSER." Security Records: Tihichat is known to strictly adhere to the Vox Inviolate doctrine and refrains from wasteful killing, even when under attack. However, they have been detained on multiple occasions for selling illicit substances, including drugs, to fellow crewmates while operating as a shop owner on various NT stations. It is recommended that Tihichat not be granted access to a chem dispenser due to the associated risks. Medical Records: Have requested that in the event of organ failure, they do not wish to receive non-Vox organs or have their stack implanted into a non-Vox body. However, they have indicated that they are open to receiving cybernetic organs or parts. It is important for medical staff to be aware of Tihichat's preferences in order to provide appropriate care and treatment.
