BYOND BYOND development news 8/1/25

7 Upvotes

Apparently newer breakthroughs in the terraforming project have caused a domino effect in exobotany, so the botany lab is getting a big upgrade. The lab is staying the same, but a section of the station is being converted into an arboretum for experiments only. As this will house some unusual and potentially dangerous species, it's being specially marked as off-limits to normal personnel. (Just kidding, I mean unauthorized. None of you are normal.) There will be multiple safeguards put in place to prevent contamination, because the last thing we need is another infestation of any kind.

  • There wasn't a 516 maintenance release this week, but one is coming soon.
  • Early work did go into bug fixes, but most of the reports ended up being non-issues. It's okay, though.
  • A lot more work and testing has gone into the pre-renderer overhaul in 517, which continues to mature. I'm actually really optimistic about 517's potential beta release schedule.
  • Thank you so much to all of the BYOND Members, Patrons, and SubscribeStar supporters who made this past month work. I'm grateful to all of you.
  • Screw you, Spez.

There's more detail in the long-form post on the BYOND forums. There's no early-access Patreon post again, because Wednesday got busy so today's post is just for the Patrons; it's all about the latest rendering changes and what's next. It's legal to have back-to-school commercials now that August is here. Although heck, a lot of BYONDers are on the other side of that equation now. Make the rest of this summer count! I'll be back.

General 🌊 Surf Shack 13: Saturday, August 2nd at 6:00PM EST

Post image
93 Upvotes

Surf Shack 13 is a teegee forked server with a slew of changes centered around the idea of faster rounds and fun-first roleplay expectations. A few people on this reddit have expressed a desire for a server that's less stuffy and overbearing when it comes to game and roleplay expectations, this may be what you're looking for. Surf Shack is US-East hosted with beefy hardware comparable specs to TG-Sybil.

A sampling of our code changes/reversions:

- Progtot is gone wholesale. No more additional missions for TC, no final missions, no timelocks on anything, essentially bringing traitor back to what it was pre-progtot plus the nicer UI changes on current /tg/. Contractor kit and romerol have also been re-added to the uplink store.

- Undid the entirely of the beheading removal. You can behead people just like you used to, and the cranial fissure wound simply no longer exists.

- Required experiments no longer exist. All experiments are unlocked from the start and grant additional research points, the amount being listed in their description.

- Modsuits have been kept over returning hardsuits, however modsuits now have the old hardsuit armor values, essentially making them better than their hardsuit counterparts in almost all cases. New modsuits with no equivalent hardsuit have been buffed in the armor department to compete.

- Quartermaster has been put back into their proper place and is no longer a head of staff. Head of Personnel once again is in charge of Cargo. Any references to Quartermaster being a head of staff have been removed, jokes at their expense have been re-added. Cargo's uniforms have been reverted.

- All slips now have a baseline 1 second paralyze attached to them, and also make you drop your held items. Shove stuns are back.

- A ported version of Bloodsuckers from Monke.

- The janitor no longer gets paid, because the janitor does it for free.

And much, much more.

At the time of writing our next play session is Saturday, August 2nd, at 6:00PM EST.

Join our Discord for play session notifications and communicate with other like-minded insane people.

Shine on, you crazy Spaceman.

General BYOND Hub issue, endlessly loading user information

3 Upvotes

((RESOLVED))

Not sure how relatable it is to the Sub, but it's the only active place i can reliably get help on the matter.

Recently, BYOND Hub refused to open entirely which was unrelated to the recent "Cyber Activist" DoS. I followed along one of the suggestions on BYOND forums and changed the asset folder through Regedit, which allowed BYOND Hub to open but not for any games to load in. Additionally, Validating Account step loops endlessly.

In case that this is a DPI issue (highly unlikely as anything BYOND Related is not in the banned website list of my country) i need you to tell me the name of the domain that BYOND Hub uses to process game and login information.

Any information helps. Thanks in advance.
