[*]If a chemist is currently producing medicine, '''no other''' medical staff should start producing it without asking for permission from the chemist, this includes the CMO themselves. Let the chemist do their job and make requests to them, rather than taking over.[br]

[*]Do not, under any circumstances, attempt to pull a wounded person along the floor. This has a heavy risk of creating more serious complications with their injuries. If possible, use a medical roller bed for fast transport, or '''Grab''' the patient beneath their arms and move them slowly if needs be.
[*]Maintain equipment in peak condition at all times.[br]
[*]Attempt to resuscitate recently deceased persons if their damage is not too extensive, but be aware that defibrilation attempts will cause minor injury and brain damage. Bioregenrators can be used in surgery on a patients chest muscles to remove toxins from those who have died with a large amount in their system. If the damage is too extensive, or you do not feel that you have the ability or time to revive a patient and there is nobody else willing to do so, then you may use the resleevers.[br]

[*]It is appreciated if medical staff would return their equipment to the medbay before going off-duty. If you must leave at short notice, your belongings can be collected at central command.[br]
[*]Personal Note: Under my command, You should keep your medical belt equipped. Including your hud. I understand if you not much is going on and you're doing whatever you do.

[*]Personal Note: It is important that the medical team is able to look out for and cooperate with one another.

Revision as of 13:53, 30 September 2024

Writing is an integral part to paperwork and writing books! If you want to write an official department memo, or a good looking book, you're gonna have to know how to write it. Listed below are the examples of how to properly format in-game paperwork! We do not enforce the use of these examples exactly. This is to simply to give you a good base to work from. Much of this work has been siphoned off from many different places in the SS13 community. Notable examples being two Separate Baystation -- forum posts, and parts of the Polaris wiki. These examples already have most of the special notation included. To properly understand how the notation works, you will need a basic grasp of BBCode or HTML. But don't worry, even if you don't know either, just try copy pasting the examples and replacing the text with your own! Once you're comfortable with that, try experimenting with what works together and how.

Alternatively you can use Paperwork Simulator which is a handy tool which included previews for what you're writing.

Writing tools and Formatting key

Writing is performed on paper using any standard writing utensil.

  • Pens come in a few different colors, black or blue by default, and some departments are provided with red pens. Pens have a variety of functions!
  • Crayons work much like pens, except that they are always bold, and lack the list, horizontal rule, and small tags.

Alternatively if you use a modular computer such as a laptop or tablet you can use the built-in word processor or download the NanoWord application to write out documents and preview them before printing them using the nanoprinter adon, or simply copy-pasting the raw text and using it with a pen and paper if no printer is available.

Formatting Paper:

Formatting paperwork in SS13 uses a code popular in forums called BBCode. Typically BBCode has start tags wrapped in [square brackets] and closing tags with a forward slash within the [/square brackets]. If your formatting doesn't work the way you expect, make sure that each opening tag has a relevant closing tag. Also note that not all BBCode requires a closing tag. You can mix and match multiple BBCode to get the look you want, such as centering a header or making bold underlined text.

Font

The simplest way to format is by changing how normal text looks.

To Bold text enclose it with the [b] Bold [/b] tags.

[b]This text is going to be bold.[/b] This text is not.

To Italicize text enclose it with the [i] Italics [/i] tags.

[i]This text is italicized.[/i] This text is not.

To Underline text enclose it with the [u] Underline [/u] tags.

[u]This text is underlined.[/u] This text is not.

To make text appear larger enclose it with [large] Large [/large] tags.

[large]This text is much larger[/large] than this text.

To make text appear smaller enclose it with [small] Small [/small] tags.

[small]This text is very small![/small] This text is normal-sized.

Justification

Justification determines where sentences will align and flow on a page. By default all text will be left justified, which is how most things are written anyways. Currently there's no right or full justification, but you can justify center using the [center] Center [/center] tags.

[center]Type the center tags onto the paper like this! Even add header tags or a logo if you're feeling fancy![/center]

Headers

Headers are pre-formatted text options to easily differentiate between different parts of a paper. There are three headers available, H1, H2, and H3, starting from the largest to smallest headers. Large headers could be used as a title of a document while smaller headers could be used for sub-sections. You can see examples of headers being used throughout the pages of this wiki in fact, however they don't represent how they would appear in-game. To use headers enclose it with the [h#] Header [/h#] tags, but replace the # with the kind of header you are using.

[h1]This is the title of the document![/h1]
This is some normal text.
[h2]Here is a subsection of the document[/h2]
Some more normal text.

Line breaks

New lines can be created by using the [br] tag. Without this, anything you write will continue on the same line until it reaches the end of the page.

text above
[br]
text below

A special line break called a Horizontal Rule functions just as a line break, except it adds a horizontal line across the page to separate text. To add a horizontal rule, use the [hr] tag.

text above

[hr]


text below

Lists

Create a list by using the [list] and [/list] tags. For every entry in your list, add a [*] in front of your entry. For example; 

[list][*]Bullet one.[*]Bullet two.[/list]

Auto-fills and special formatting

There are a lot of special tags which will automatically be replaced with relevant text:

Special formatting tags
Type Tag Use example Notes
Form field [field] Reason for request: [field] This tag will allow you to start writing in the middle of a document, otherwise you can only add text onto the very end of a document.
Signature [sign] Signature of qualifying surgeon: [sign] Using this tag will sign your full name in a special format. Only you are able to [sign] your name, others who try to forge your signature will make errors doing so.
NT Logo [logo] [center][logo][/center] This adds and image of the NanoTrasen logo to the document.
Station Name [station] Transmission from [station]: ... Auto-fills the name of the current map being played on.
Station Date [date] Transmission sent: [date] Auto-fills the current in-game date.
Station Time [time] Request received: [time] Auto-fills the current in-game time using a 24 hour clock.

Character Records

First you should take a look at the information your character should have before starting their first day working on station. ("should" Meaning that this paper work is entirely optional, but would greatly help you and others when role-playing.) Your character should have the following records: Employment, Medical and Security! These should be filled out as if they were being written about your character from a NT or another corporation staff member's point of view. While we do not enforce how these records are written, Just like your actual character please make sure your records fit with our stations "canon" and "rules".

Employment:

(Note:Like with Security records do not put information you would not want other characters to openly know. "I WORKED AS A SMUGGLER FOR THE PIZZA THE HUT!" is probably not a thing that would be on your records.)

Medical:

(Note: Please try and keep illness and disability with-in the scope of our setting. Do not include something that can not be easily recreated within in-game mechanics or easily role-play able. An example being "Needing to breath something other then oxygen to survive." Can be easily RP'ed with a empty oxygen tank and mask. While having something like "tesh-pox" that causes you to instantly transform into a Teshari when someone sneezes would not work.)

Security:

(Note: this should only contain Information you WANT security to know about you. Do not fill it with any information that you would like to be kept as a... "Surprise" A example would be "Known to steal things..." Verses "...Is the freaked Lupin the 3rd of  Virgo-Erigone!")
