Because I'm not game to try to rewrite the entire system, this PR
changes the Communications Blackout event to, instead of hitting every
tcomms box with EMP effects, toggle a flag on the Processor units to
scramble all comms. The effect will be that instead of not transmitting
at all, radio communications will just come through as pure static
gibberish. Once the event is over, it will toggle the flag off. In the
event of the telecomms boxes still failing to come back, anyone with the
vv permission can easily restore the processors by editing the
"ion_storm" variable from true to false.
Few misc other fixes, see changelogs
Some functional updates to events:
**Comms Blackouts:** Now has a variant (min. 6 pop,
engineering-weighted) which gives each machine a 10% chance to take a
little integrity damage. Additionally, Telecomms Processors now factor
their integrity damage into their ability to decompress messages, so
this alternative comms blackout might cause radio transmissions (either
global or for a given department) to start getting a little garbled- not
enough to genuinely impede comms, but enough to justify Engi to fix them
up.
**Prison Break:** Given how rarely we actually have people sitting
around in the prison waiting for breakouts over the course of a given
round, this event has been changed to be more akin to the existing
Containment events- the entire department (minus armory, nuke storage,
checkpoints, etc.) are at risk of lights blown, access issues, etc. Just
a little more variety added to the mix.
**Space Vines:** Minimum 4 pop to fire. Shouldn't matter much in the
grand scheme of things, just reduces annoyance factor for extremely
low-pop if they roll some vines that fuck them up. Will look into
refactoring that event so that the danger factor of the vines increases
with population, and remove the min pop requirement again.
**Drone Revolution:** Minimum 4 pop to fire. Again, shouldn't matter
much in the grand scheme of things but this highest tier event will
seriously fuck up anyone who latejoins and uses the maints to, say, help
set the ship up during low pop! No I'm not salty!
**Electrical Storm:** Refactored this and restored the Mundane and Major
variants. While we want this event to keep Engineers on their toes and
provide openings for people to break regs if they so wished, most of the
event is theater (lots of flickering lights now!) While the Mundane and
Moderate variants are mostly flavorful and will just give Engineers a
few excuses to visit different departments and RP with people, Major
events will be your 'all hands on deck' affairs (as Major events are
ought) and in very rare circumstances could even cascade into more
serious issues. Did a ton of unit testing on this and feel very good
about how each variant actually looks, will make any additional tweaks
if needed once we see how it plays with an actual population!
The Event Probabilities sheet was also very out of date, missing Comet
Expulsion, had the old Viral Outbreak, lots of old values, etc. Updated
all the events, and also updated the % formulas to factor in minimum
population- changing the 'Assumed Personnel' values at the top to a
level below the minimum population for a given event will now correctly
set its probability to 0%, making it clearer what actual odds are given
different pop levels.
I also don't think pop_needed was working correctly: various changes in
there to get it behaving.
Obv this PR grew in scope from outset and touches a small handful of
different things, so lmk anything to mix and match and change and drop.

This PR will lead us towards the Promised Day, for in its wake there shall be much celebration and ecstasy as this world becomes a world suitable for developer hegemony. The first strike is thusly;
All << is converted into to_chat().
Okay, this update is kinda big. Summary:
- Trimmed unused keys in Exodus telecomms
- Adds script that will run mapmerge2 on Travis to check branch for unused keys or key overflow, etc.
- Fixes matching indentation style in tag-matcher and converts it to use Python 3.6
- Converts mapmerge2 to be used by Python 3.4 and above. Instead of 3.6
- Removes Windows 1252 characters from Communication-blackout.dm that were not able to be seen in UTF-8 format.
Note: the last commit will fail because currently main level is broken
Example of no map issues:
Example of issues:
The announcement system just got an upgrade.
Also made the delta siren more concerning.
And made a custom slightly annoying sound for the night mode announcement.
-Makes a lot of unsuitable events excluded from faking. Some of them could do with reworking to make them function, like the infestation and prison breaks, but for now i just had to exclude them
-Adds an In-character/descriptive name, used for the announcement apologising for the mistake
-Fixes an issue where using debug Trigger Event verb would fill the events list with empty severe events and cause runtime errors
It now picks from a list of alerts with varying levels of fuckedup-ness, to try and better communicate the idea of unreliability when the crew do hear it.
Increased the time between events.
Updated cows so it's disarm intent to tip them over, and made chicks not offset off their turf.

= Giant Spiders =
- Nurses spin webs which impede progress, bundle items and mobs up in cocoons, lay eggs to create spiderlings
- Nurses are slow and weak, but their bite has a chance to paralyse the victim
- Spiderlings skitter about and eventually grow into giant spiders.
- Spiderlings will ventcrawl, so they can spread over the station pretty fast.
- Hunters are fast, have decent health and the most effective poison
- Guards are medium speed but the health and direct damage
- The poison of hunters and guards can cause hallucinations if they bite you
= Farm animals =
- Cows can be milked or butchered for a large supply of meat. Sadists can also tip them over (with intent_help).
- Goats can also be milked, but have a nasty temperament.
- Chicks grow up to be chickens, who lay eggs and continue the cycle. But where did it start? (they're very noisy).
- All three are orderable via QM.
My changes:
- Added a spider infestation event.
- Optimized code with spiders and simple_animals.
- Made a /hostile/retaliate type which will only fight back when hurt. Based on Cael's code.
- Added some farm animals on the map.
- Changed events, added a setup() proc which can let you setup variables or the event. Made the event only kill itself when it has called, announce(), start() and end().
- Brainrot will only need alkysine as a cure.
- Communication blackout will always be silent.
- Changed some admin buttons to use the new event system.
- Added a forceEvent proc which you can use when you enable debug verbs.

The old one still exists, mainly so the associated admin buttons still work.
At some point I'll add a nice little panel for event stuff and remove the old procs.
event.dm is pretty well commented, and it should be pretty easy to figure it out.
Casualties of the change are space dust (which should probably be implemented separately if we want it back), the black hole event (which was awful), space ninjas (which didn't turn up), ionstorms (the non-admin ones sucked anyway) and CLANG, which I will probably add at some point, if no one else does first.
Also, I removed pierott's throat from the disease outbreak list. f that s.
Thanks to Sukasa and BS12, as my system is loosely based off of theirs.
Thanks Giacom for help with structuring and especially commenting this.
