Operation Sandbox: Beginner’s Guide to Building

December 3, 2013 Brody 5 Comments

As part of the new Operation Sandbox, you can expect to use two commands more than any other:

@dig: The basic “make a new room” command.
@desc: The description command, which you already use to @desc yourself.

Other basic commands that will come in handy:

@tel: Allows you to teleport to any room that you own.
@open: Opens a door from one room you own to another.
@link: Links a door from one room you own to another.

We’ll cover other commands, such as @parent, in the next installment of this guide.

Spacer Guide: Xanya’s Guide to Designing Spacecraft

December 3, 2013 Brody No Comments

In this guide I will show you what steps I take when I create a new spaceship type for OtherSpace. I’ll show you all the steps from start to finish including some examples to give you an idea of what could be possible. Please note that there are a diversity of ships that have already been created and can be bought in game without having to go through the process as listed below. So before you go further, please think to yourself if you want to make a completely new type of ship and take your time to create it from scratch, or if you want to be fast and buy an already existing ship type.

Classic OtherSpace Log: Ambulance Chasing

Nemoni pirates attack Ungstir, but that doesn’t stop a defense attorney from doing his job!
Residential District

A model of efficiency in both design and use of materials, the residential district of the Ungstiri community of Resilience consists of a series of caverns that once served the planetoid’s mining operations – which were moved deeper into the world remnant after the Ungstiri were forced to make their home on this last surviving chunk of the shattered colony planet.

The twisting passages lead to various caverns that have been converted into “hole-in-the-wall” habitats, home to extended, multigenerational families. The Ungstiri are a tight-knit, stick-together people, and often connect to each other’s homes and share in the responsibilities for raising and caring for the offspring.

Some communal caverns are used for teaching centers, while a few toward the surface of the planetoid provide windows onto the cosmos where Ungstiri may go to pay tribute to the spirits that guide them.

Jacob walks through the smoky haze between the district and the commons, briefcase in hand, coughing and waving his hand in front of his face.

Red Wolf inhales to yell to Mrs. McGrath, but only gets a lungful of smoke, starting a coughing fit as his eyes stream with tears. He keeps a tight hold on Teel’s hand, starting to lead towards the sound of the voice.

Teel and Red Wolf are deep in the residential district, staggering through the smoke towards the McGrath home. Coughing, Teel lowers her head, weakly yelling, “…ma?”

Jacob works his way through the smoking nightmare of the residential district, coughing. “Is there…*gak!* someone in charge *glurg!* around here?”
