Beginner's Guide to I.T. Technician by Joe Conner

[Joe Conner 205]

So, you decided to play IT Technician, welcome aboard fellow nerd.

Lets get started with the most basic information,

As an IT Technician, you will be spawned in the Electrical Center, located in EZ Lower.

Spoiler

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As an IT Technician, you have access to the Foundation Server.

Spoiler

While utilizing the Foundation Server, you have a number of options to choose from.

Spoiler

Spoiler

In the current version of SCP-RP, the 'Remote door controls' and 'Remote camera controls' have been removed

The 'Remote loudspeaker (microphone) controls' enables/disables the loudspeaker of the site
The 'Remote loudspeaker (/advert) controls' sends a message through the Foundation Server to all members of the Foundation that have access to the Foundation radio
You may get punished by the staff team or by the Foundation's armed forces if you abuse the Foundation Server

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You also spawn with a 'Server Hack SWEP' which you can utilize when hostiles that carry 'Server Hack SWEP' have hacked the Foundation Server and gained access to it.

Now, lets move onto the Terminals which can be spawned via the F4 Menu within the entities category.

Spoiler

You are able to purchase a max of 4 Terminals

Using a Terminal can be quite confusing at first, but you will get the hang of the commands and such the more you play and learn.
 

First off, lets spawn ourselves a single Terminal for now and turn it on using 'e'. It will then proceed to boot up and then display you with this.

Spoiler

We will use this first Terminal as our Server.

To enter commands and type on the computer hit 'e' once more. What we first want to do is enter the command ':os install server'.  The Terminal will now shut down and you can once again turn it on with 'e'. Give the computer half a minute to boot up this time as the OS installs.
To exit the Terminal, hit 'enter' on your keyboard while not typing any message into the Terminal.
Once booted up with the Server OS installed , it should look like this.

Spoiler

We can now create our network by entering the command ':gnet c Foundation' you are able to use any name you wish, however I have used 'Foundation' to make it simpler. Once created it will display a green message like so.

Spoiler

If you wish to make a Network with a password, simply enter your password after the name of your network like so

Spoiler

 

Now, we can move onto our second Terminal and not touch our main Server Terminal at all.

Begin by installing the Personal OS the same way as we installed the Server OS.
Your second terminal should now look something like this

Spoiler

Now we shall connect this Personal Terminal to our Server Terminal. To join a network, enter the command ':gnet j Foundation' and it should look like this once we have successfully joined the Network 

Spoiler

To join a Network with a password, enter the password of the Network you want to join after the name of the Network and it should look like so once you have successfully joined

Spoiler

 

Now once you have finally made your Server and Personal Terminals you can create a second Personal Terminal incase you don't want someone accidentally turning off your Server Terminal which will shutdown your Network. 

To communicate with one another utilizing a Terminal via the Network:
You can enter the command ':gnet m @ Hello' which will send a message to all the Terminals connected to the Network.

Spoiler

To communicate with one another directly:
First, you must enter the command ':gid' which will provide you with your Terminal's ID like so. Each Terminal has a unique Terminal ID.

Spoiler

Now to send a message, enter the command ':gnet m 7021 Hello' you can send any message you'd like, however the Terminal ID's vary between one Terminal and another.

Spoiler

The messaging feature of the Terminals is one that is mainly used. There are also other features possible that can be seen via the ':help' command.

Thanks for reading this guide.

I made this guide because every time I see an IT, they don't know what they're doing and require help, so hopefully if there are any new IT Technician players in the future, they can read this guide and understand what to do if they are confused.
