If you want to make something this radically different, why even base it on spess? When it comes to game engines, Byond's barely above Scratch.

>>41222689
i just don't want to deal with fire-spread and shit like that on a planetary type server

>>41222695
because I know and am familiar with spess and its capabilities, and i've had hours and hours and hours of fun on spess based projects. it's got a lot of good bones in there.

Will it have an option in character customization to decide if wherther or not you have a gelded or an ungelded scrotum? i would like to have this their in character customization to decide as to wherther or not my characters scrotum has testicles or is gelded, just for character and RP flavor.

>>41222741
i'm gonna want it to be basically as close to FIM season 1-3 so no

>>41222669
Will you be regularly posting updates on progress on /mlp/ or only on your trooncord? I am legitimately interested but that platform is a major turn off.

Isn't part of the appeal of ss13 all the fucked up things you can do to people? Like drugging them and stealing their organs or something. I feel like just cartoon violence might be a bit limiting.

>>41223150
Yes I'll post about it on here

>>41223192
There's different things for different people. If everybody wants to splat ponies into rainbow colored gore I'll consider that too, I just think for an MLP show based server gore has no place

>>41222669
Oh shit , about time someone attempted this !
Closest thing I remember in this game that was mlp related was when Paradise some event that spawned G4 ponies who were dragging crew members to sacrifice or ponify them.

>>41223561
Well gore and cuteness dont necessarily have to be opposites.

>>41222720
>planetary type server
The map would be that big?

>>41224047
If you have more information about when/where that would be good but I'm betting they were admin spawned icons similar to what we have

>>41224051
It's true I guess but muh show accuracy

>>41224054
To start with just a village but yeah, everfree forest and other locations would be good to add later

>>41224097
>when/where
That was a long time ago, like 5 to 6 years or more. And I wouldnt be a 100% sure it was Paradise, but it definitely wasnt Goon.

>I'm betting they were admin spawned icons similar to what we have
They probably were, it felt like a side event that just popped out of nowhere, but I dont know if they used the same icons you have. Like I mentioned, I saw it a long time ago.

>show accuracy
Well if you can find a way to still keep the chaotic charm of the spess game then that would sound cool to play.

Ideally yeah

>>41224376
The show has disabilities shown but I don't think any pony gets their leg ripped off on screen
From a technical standpoint as well, piecing the pony sprite down into limbs that can be removed will be more difficult, this is something we'd need a coder/spriter to work on together. So at the start just not having de-limbing and splats would be best for what we have currently available to us.
Again I'm open to it if more people want it than don't, but it would take work to implement in that way.

>>41224400
yay!

>In general, we need to have someone who understands the code and the differences between the codebases better than I do, before I can make a confident statement about what would be best. But to start with what I'm probably going to do is look at the Nebula base and see if I can use machine learning tools to help me add in the pony icons and disable all nohooves content.

How would that work ?

>>41225215
There were attempts at pone ss13, check archive.

>>41225221
Not sure, I'm going to explore the idea though.

>>41225234
I know, poopsikins's repo

So I'll give my thoughts and try to withhold any feasibility opinions for now.

There was actually a /tg/ based server this year that did a full pony species as an april fools joke, worth looking into that and possibly use them as a base.
You'll probably want to use a /tg/ base anyway just because of the huge amount of support that exists for it in general.

The more modular you make sprites (limbs/clothes/items/etc), the faster development can be.

Disabling other species is very easy, it's a config option that can be toggled.

>>41225243
right now i think there are these codebases to consider
>ss14
>tg
>nebula
>fo13
ss14 would be an interesting one. haven't played much of it, but seems to run very smoothly. very modern. might help get a lot of newfags in, especially since it's on steam i believe

>>41225245
>ss14
I havent played it, but I keep reading horror stories about how their hub blacklists servers that get too toxic.

>>41225250
the hub can do whatever it wants. this will be a game for horsefuckers, we're not necessarily targetting randos. you can join via direct ip. besides, i trust in ponyville we'll all be acting in accordance to the values of Friendship anyway

>>41225243
So far we have poopsikins's repo which has some character icons and then there's a link in the github that points to some customizable pony icons
I just don't know anything about coding

>>41225245
>ss14
too new, as far as I am aware it's not feature complete
>tg

>nebula

>fo13
has its own problems but is also a strong contender

>>41225250
>>41225255
Yeah the instant ss14 came up there was some retard drama and slapfighting, it's kind of inherent to the system

Let me just say here and now I am going to expect everyone to obey the values of friendship, the rules are don't fuck it up for everyone else basically. It will be a direct IP join system.

/tg/ a shit
/vg/ or no dice

>>41225258
>ss14
>too new
how long will this be spewed around?

>>41225306
there are more options now

>>41225315
i have this opinion because last time i tried it, there was no ghost ears toggle
as in, as a ghost you heard and saw literally everything going on at all times
on normal ss13 this function is pretty basic
this is why I think ss14 isn't done in the oven yet

Wasnt there a town server that tried this approach ?

>>41222669
I'd watched the Sseth video and determined it to be too complex for my small brain. Maybe if the UI didn't look like an excel spreadsheet.

>>41223146
What does gelding or lack thereof have to do with any respective season of FIM?

>>41225418
Its not that hard to get into if you use the hotkey mode.

>>41225424
ponies are smooth like barbie dolls
>>41225418
dude trust me its more retard friendly than it looks

>>41225411
Probably, there have been many servers with a similar idea: live in a town and just chill
However a specifically Ponyville server is to my knowledge a unique idea

>>41225418
It does sort of require you to be autistic to enjoy it
The main commands are walking around with WASD or arrow keys, and then using Say commands to talk, and then clicking on stuff in the viewport to interact with them. It's pretty easy when you get the hang of it but there is a slight skill cliff to overcome.

>>41225424
ponies don't have balls, nuts, cocks, vagingers, or buttholes in the show so we're gonna go with a no on all those on the server too

>>41225432
i used to use my numpad to walk around and then my letter keys to type commands, it made my WPM godly

>>41225433
i wouldn't say it's precisely tard friendly, but it's not the most difficult in the world either

>>41225418
>Maybe if the UI didn't look like an excel spreadsheet
But those kinds of games are the best.

I just spitballed a couple of antag modes cribbing ideas from the show, I'm open to hearing any and all ideas

>>41225258
>Nebula
We were also recommended that last time around, and from what I saw, that was likely a much better idea than a half-assed /vg/ fork when it came to supporting non-human species (adding the sprites only took me a few days since the base design sprite already existed on a booru, but it's really just a resprited human with some rendering spaghetti code under the hood).
I'd still recommend giving ss14 a try just to see what it has now, but it ultimately comes down to whether you're willing to pull mostly off-board coders since most here still play on BYOND servers. C# is its own beast, so you lose out on easily pulling contributors from other servers. However, the upside is that with the rewrite having modularity in mind, it may be easier to implement the changes you have in mind.
The only other thing I'd like to know is just how active you think this'll be. The previous server didn't last too long, and I never got to play on it, but from what I heard it was pretty chill. Perhaps the town focus may make it competitive with the other pony-related hangout options.

>>41226759
off boarders are stinky
I've been hearing about Nebula since it was conceptualized and I'm happy to see there's a full stable release out for it, so it's my most likely contender right now
We've got sprites from Poopsikins's repo, both the character sprites and the recolorable ponies from some russki pony server long ago
ss14 seems cool, but in my opinion it needs some more time baking in the oven before it's ready to be taken to the next level and reskinned into a different game

that said we don't have a coder and so I'm going to be looking into trying to use machine learning tools to get what i want done at first. that's going to look like me asking claude aws if it can do byond code and if it can, using it to insert the spirtes and make the modifications I want. and if it can't i'm cucked and i need a human to help me

as for activity that's not something I can really predict, but I plan to have it off hub, direct IP connect. i'm thinking of having scheduled game times like a D&D group does, like saturday evenings USA west time, or any other time that works for a majority of players.

always open to more ideas of course

Wild beasts that could kill, maim or petrify you. Dangerous hidden places where sealed beings could pop up from. Wild zebra tribe spawns kind of like the ashlanders.

Although all of this sounds like it would fit much better in the Badlands setting.

>>41228215
Yeah that's pretty much the idea. We're going to do this in stages.
Stage 1 is take the Nebula code and put ponies into it, and publish that
Stage 2 is to get a planetary style map made with Ponyville-like assets
Stage 3 is to expand the map with more locations, like Everfree forest
I just need a coder to help me because my brain is very smooth

you can get ss13 running on linux, actually

>>41230502
with broken features, or using a VM, neither of which are practical.

>>41230534
so would you prefer SS14 as it has linux support?

>>41230539
considering how much OP plans to change, might as well start from something closer to a blank slate.

>>41230590
Looking into Nebula it has a lot of good bones. It has a quadrupedal player character already programmed in called a "drake" so we just need to reskin that into a pony essentially, which cuts out a lot of the hard work. I just need help making it into a pony with the sprites we have and integrating it into the code, and then we have "ponies in space" as a basic starting point, which I would publish freely for anyone to tinker with as well.

>>41230534
>>41230539
I'm about 80% sure I'm not gonna use ss14 because it's not done cooking yet, feel free to provide evidence as to why I'm dumb and stupid of course but I just have more experience with 13 in general

I know ss14 evokes many negative emotions in ss13 players but it's de facto the future
>better graphics, animations and fluidity
Important to net in new players
>Linux support
Not to be underestimated just because most PC users are windows users. SS13/14 is a niche game which attracts niche players
I'd wager the average linux user is much more likely than the average windows user to play a convoluted roleplay game
Also they are - again just as a tendency - more likely to have coding knowledge and could contribute to the game's developments which brings to
>better engine, more stable connection
Does that really need explanation? This damn game runs on internet explorer FFS
The actual only thing that gives SS13 an undeniable edge is the vast amount of content SS14 doesn't have. But if the game grows at its steady pace that will resolve within a few years

because some griefer makes 5 TTV bombs and maxcaps atmospherics or something along those lines
and the only way to "le deal with le heckin griefers" is to punish your playerbase instead

throwing people into disposals loop was a funny ass youtube video though, from that hippie admiral guy. I think his videos got nuked though

ss13 died when admiral hippies channel on youtube got nuked and we lost classics like badmin.mp4

>>41231555
>>41231573
>Nuked
I thought the story was that he had some meltdown and decided to delete it all.

What if instead of Ponyville it was a colonizing expedition sent by Equestria to establish a town at the badlands ?
It would have citizens, guards, a high staff with a colonial governor who answers directly to the Equestrian government (Centcomm), and of course changelings sent by Chrysalis to sabotage the place.

I did hear it was decent though. I played on other ss13 servers while they were working on it and from the people who played on it who it was made for, they liked it. So okay, good for them. If the code was solid I can only compliment their hard work.

Here is where i found the template
Aanyway each pony is 32x32 and if u want to add a mane/tail/cutie mark it must be a 64x64 image (to be divided into four 32x32 sections, one for each direction; up, down, right, left)
Picrel for example, each little background box is 32x32 in size
This is a semi popular character template so ill assume the mane 6 styles are probably done and I can eventually rip them off the internet somewhere or from a ss13 pony codebase
>
So yeah if u wish to draw a mane/tail/cutie mark dont include the base just draw it on its own in the right directions in the right spots
>>41234959
Very little ! Pony rump is like 6x6 TOPS. You would have to get very creative. Im assuming itll just be cute little smidgens that occasionally look like an actual icon and then u can shift+click/whatever them for a more elaborate description of their cutie mark

Sorry everypony I was masturbating instead of working i got some manes and stuff in ! Will also have to figure out clothes and maybe miscellaneous stuff llike horsesheos or making it so that ponies get sick if they eat meat and removing the other species

>>41236408

oh boy is it time to get horses_eating_baby_chicks.webm again

>>41236421
Hmm good point . Perhaps sick spiritually or they just dont get as much out of it . It just doesn't fit in my mind to have ponies eating meat but maybe better to just let people do whatever and most people will gravitate towards not eating meat because of feelings

>>41236424
It's easier to not implement mechanically at all, is my main point.
Get the framework and mares working, then you can start adding on fluff extras like that.

Oh i get it . Makes sense thanks for the advice anon !

>>41236455
the side point of chicken eating is, however, relevant once (if) you get there

Hmm now i have to figure out how to do subspecies (unicorns and pegasi - atleast want the visuals dont really need mechanics right now) and the layering stuff that would probably encompass . . .
Also i will not be adding applejacks mane as i would have to find a sprite of her without her hat on and i do not feel like drawing it myself right now . I must also learn what a github is

>>41236952
>I must also learn what a github is
You were doing all this without using that ?
Its a place where you can store a copy of your code so that it can be reviewed, retrieved and changed remotely.

Do you at least know how to use git ?

>>41236993
What

Oh i see now this actually seems useful . Ill make one in a bit

>>41237006
alright here's your quick two-minute guide to using git in the most basic possible way:
We will assume you're using the command line but the concepts will be the same if you can find the relevant buttons in your gui.

Get git.
Windows: You'll want "Git for Windows"
Linux: Find it in your package manager.
Mac: i dont know

Navigate to the directory that contains your project and open a terminal there (right click and select git bash if youre using git for windows) and use these commands
>git init
This will create a folder called .git in your project directory. This is your "repository" and it's the only thing that you must make sure to preserve at all cost.
>git config user.name <anything>
This sets the name that appears next to commit messages. It can be anything. It does not have to be a real name.
>git config user.email <anything>
Ditto for the "email address." Again, this doesn't necessarily need to even resemble an email address.
>git add -A
This adds specified files to a staging area to be committed. The -A means 'everything.' If you just created the repo that will mean the entire project. Ignore warnings about "LF" or "CRLF" because they're usually not relevant.
>git commit -m '<describe your changes here>'
This adds all of your changes to the repository as a snapshot or 'commit.' The -m means 'the following as the commit message.' Make sure to wrap your commit message in single quotes 'like so' if it contains spaces. If you omit the -m you will be sent directly to vim at which point only god can help you. Type :q! and hit enter

Every time you make a significant change, run the git add -A and git commit -m 'message' commands again. Doing this will ensure that your changes will be safe and you can reap the rest of the benefits of using git in the future. Git intentionally makes it very hard to lose data as long as you keep the .git folder intact. Don't worry about wasted space either, git will handle that for you automatically.

>>41237093
One last caution: Be careful what you add to the repository. Git makes it very difficult to accidentally lose data. It also makes it difficult to purposefully lose data. It's still possible to completely remove objects from your repository, but it will likely be a tedious process and anyone you're collaborating with will be annoyed at you because they now need to pull a whole new copy of the repository and adjust their in-progress changes to fit it.

>>41222669
Why are ponyfags so god damn awful at game design and the technical side od it as well? For such a creative fandom you faggots get beaten by a 6 year old at creativity. Your ideas are so fucking generic despite yelling about "muh adult appeal in a littlr girls franchise"
>What's Twilight favourite objects? books!
Predictions n prophecies you filthy apes. The book is just a medium at best.
Twilight's favourite thing is magic, not books you abysmal idiots including the Mane6 team that gave her a book to cast her spells through.

>>41237093
Might be easier if he just used a git plugin in whatever IDE he's using. Although he would have to remember to either use that or the console, using both of them always leads to unwarranted messes.

>>41237295
No one with really outlandish ideas has the guts to suggest them.

>>41237367
Mostly I wanted to show that basic usage of git is actually very simple. You just make changes, add files, and commit. I've seen too many people who could have made great use of git say it's too complicated for them.

I never tried looking for a git plugin to this one. Ive seen some people recommending tortoise git, which wouldnt be a plugin but an external program.
https://tortoisegit.org/

But this would just be something to give you an easy access to options for git add, status, commit and such. If you would rather stick to a console to not have more programs taking up your screen thats your call.

>>41237550
Does this just add git commands to your context menu? That's pretty cool. The only git interface I've ever used other than the terminal is the gui that comes with Git for Windows and it was kinda doodoo. Would have been nice to know about this when I used Windows.

>>41237563
Thats what it does ? I was thinking it opened a window with button commands and a view for diffs and graph trees. Kinda like the VS code extension.

This is might overcomplicate things a lot more than just using a console to git add, commit and push.

>>41237642
Well I found the screenshots. It looks like you start at the context menu and open dialogs from there. https://tortoisegit.org/about/screenshots/

>>41237652
Hes not going to 90% of the options this thing bombards you with. Might as well stick to the console to do the basics.

Do feel free to suggest things you would like better

>>41237506
homie at least you are making progress but i gotta say you're doing it in a weird order
if you added ponies and manes and tails and learned how to use github please upload your project so we can look at it and someone can potentially test it
you should also learn how to localhost so you can personally test your changes to make sure they're working

Not OP, but the more I think of it, tte more I come to realize that setting being explicitly Ponyville is limiting.
I think >>41231656 got the right idea.
Hell, 'outpost in the middle of nowhere' gives many different scenarios and environmental themes, Everfree, Badlands, a coastal village, maybe dragonlands.

I want to play as Cadence and have my legs replaced with slices of pizza. Do it, nurse. Turn me into a Papa Johns'.

Sorry ive been pacing around my room complaining about my surroundings instead of working ! I am trying to fix a very annoying issue with the eyes because it expects eyes to be one coloured dot and not huge eyes so colouring is weird so im trying to see abt mandatory markings or something homosexual

>>41239995
Im actually clever

>>41241962
>it expects eyes to be one coloured dot and not huge eyes so colouring is weird
Thats weird. Maybe the rest of the eye needs to be considered a part of the head while only the pupils are considered the eye itself ?
But it would probably be better to look up the mlp codebases >>41239195
to see if they added a solution in the code that doesnt require these weird bypasses.

>>41241984
This is SS13 not SS14 but im still looking into it thank you my friend

I love katy perry

Nearlydone i promise . . .

>>41242537
So you're working on a ss14 compatible avatar then ?

>>41244619
Yes i have already fixed it including the eyes . Right now only 15 mane and tail styles though . . .

Okay now im struggling with species specific clothing for other species they do like displacement maps or some shit i dont kno w still looking into it but id rather have it so ponies cant wear anything unless its specifically whitelisted or smth unless i decide to just redraw all the sprites which i am weirdly willing to do to a degree but im sure theres a cleaner solution also when i pee it hurts

Anyway yes the pony species in this github works and has some basic customization and namelists just clothes not figured out yet... And also changed the loading screens and music because it was easy and fun perhaps like a certain future game (This one

Hopefully code didn't change much between the versions but good going Anon

Ever played that >clop game ?
It has a cold war like world where you have 2 rival super powers, the solar empire and the lunar republic, and along with it the player nations that have to try and rise up while avoiding pissing off those two sides. Might be a good setting to copy from.

>>41245918
Eh, I would rather have a setting of ponywar, ponies(and other creatures, some of them held as being below ponies) trying to desperately eke a living out in the middle of nowhere, where food is scarce, you need to venture into the scary woods to get material or into dark tunnels to get ore for smelter, all the while fearing invasion from other bands of misfits.

That sounds sick, but do you know of any servers that tried this approach ?
Civ13 kinda resembles it but its not as unforgiving as you probably want your idea to be. There's similarity in lifeweb in regards to the need of food and exploring, but it might be too brutal and not leave enough room for some chaotic fun.

Sorry for my absence lads I was sick

>>41241528
That's a cute idea, most likely it's going to be OC ponies doing Ponyville jobs though. So chef to cake baker, botany to regular farmer, mining is adventuring gathering resources, science would be more magical in nature, chemistry would become alchemy, stuff like that.

>>41241551
I'm open to either idea, I just think Ponyville is a good setting for cozy pony roleplay with potential for chaos with antagonist modes that mimic the show or would fit in thematically (changeling infestation, discord doing shenanigans, etc). And after Ponyville is made as a map there would be other regions to explore outside like Everfree being like Lava Land.

Yeah, you make the eye-white and pupil-black a tattoo or part of the head, so that the "eye color" dot takes its proper place as the iris color. There are "anime eyes" options in other code bases which do it like that I think.

>>41246050
If people want to play a dark game like that I'm open to it but my general idea is focused around cozy RP and show-accurate shenanigans, more than fanon ideas that branch off from that.

However Fallout Equestria 13 would be hilarious and I'm fully open to combining those two ideas for a larf, adding Ponies into the FO13 codebase would make me keku keku.

Why did you Ctrl+C Ctrl+V the repo instead of properly forking it?

Exactly as requested, thank you Coomer Dashie.

We will be going forward with ss14 and Coomer Dashie's work! Closed tests will be run, details will be on our dicksword. When it's at a basically usable state we will open for scheduled play times, probably on weekends but everypony feel free to request a time slot.

>ss14, and all that fails with it

If anyone stills wants to keep this thread up for something other than getting anons for an offboard discord club I'll be here tomorrow

>>41247083
Until and unless another coder pops up who wants to work with 13, we're going with Coomer Dashie's work on 14, because he's the only guy who stepped up to actually do this.

>>41247136
i just don't want to deal with someone joining and maxcap bombing the middle of the station because "FUCK YOU PONIES LOL LOL LOL ONE DAY WHILE CELESTIA WAS MASTURBATING TWLIGHT GOT WOOD"
that's my full reason for doing a "closed test" when we don't have our "sea legs" ready to deal with that particular annoyance which can be psychotically persistent
i have been trolled on ss13 by bad actors who just change their ip and mac address and then bomb the station again the moment you get it back up
which is really fucking annoying when you are just trying to test something

I will post all progress, news, previews etc on here and encourage others to do so too like Dashie, I just don't want to hang the server's IP out there naked and without a condom before it's ready to be roughly handled

I think Flutter Hostman wants to host it himself so okay he can do that i dont know how to host a server without getting ddosed or whatever anyway i guess anyway ive been looking at the code for deeper changes like i want to rather than .yaml edits and spriting and i dont understand it even though i look at it for a long time so i have to learn coding and thats upsetting but itll be worth it maybe ill spend more time spriting like saddlebags and stuff too i was kind of hoping somepony or someone would step up and help me with the brainier stuffDO you think mane colour and tail colour should be forced to be the same because right now if you want them to be the same you have to set the RGB (3 sliders) tto be the same that might be annoying but also choice is good but maybe not here dashie and also i want to fix the clothes and also learn mapmaking that one isnt so hard ive made maps in ss13 before probably not harder in ss14 right AnywayGod might just vindicate me and all my actions here i think i just have to try hard for a long time ? But bumping a thread for so long might not be good i dont know "I" found a guy whos good at computers in real life so maybe he will help me understand C# so i can do C# faster Oh maybe learning displacement maps would be good too incase i want to add foals i dont actually know what they are but i think i can imagine it from the name and layerings seem like a mess i can envision annoying issues with horns and stuff how would that work maybe they just magically create a hole in all the hats with magic but it might be funny to have to have them make a hole i dnt know Also i dont actually know how to update the github whenever i change something i should learn that too and what a repo is

>>41250525
>maybe he will help me understand C# so i can do C# faster
You didnt pick ss14 because of the language ?

>Also i dont actually know how to update the github
You have to use git push to push the updated repo you have in your machine, basically sending a copy of the code you've been working on in your local computer to be stored at github.
Its like sending a backup of your stuff to github, and you do that every time with the basic steps of git add -> git commit -> git push.
And when you need to retrieve a copy of that backup in gihub you use git pull.

>>41250558
I pickedit because I was convinced tto by reading this thread and the other threads and because it was really pretty and i thought itd be easier and id have to learn a lot of new stuff either way and i felt like cus this is like a total revamp i might as well use the prettier engine + it doesnt lag as much n mmy computer
Thanks for the git tips that doesnt sound so bad !

>>41250561
Its not bad, git is just an overcomplicated backup management tool.

If you want to separate things in workflow steps to understand better, git add is you selecting which of the changes you made in the code should be prepped up to be saved, with git add * selecting every change made.
And git commit is when you finally want to save the changes you made in the code, with the -m parameter letting you giving a brief message to describe what you did in that commit.

Some people like to git add a lot of changes at once and then just commit that huge batch, and others like to do it piecemeal with one commit for every small change to make things easy to track. Like for example if you added a new mane color to the avatar ? Git add that change, git commit with the message "new mane color added", and then on to work on the next thing in the schedule.
You could choose to git push after every single commit just to keep the remote code always updated, or just do it in the end when you got a whole batch stuff done and commited locally.
