This is a remap of the TCAF Corvette offship, intended to be more
intuitive than the current one.
**This is up for review.**
Notes:
1. The combustion engine isn't the only source of power in the ship,
there's also a portable generator that should be able to produce enough
to keep the ship going.
2. This adds a few clothing and overmap sprites for use in the
ghostrole, credit to Noble for them, and it also consolidates a few of
the existing TCAF assets into a single faction file. It isn't
comprehensive, but it's more organised than it was.
3. The armoury has been diversified a little. It's now composed of two
blaster rifles, one bolt slinger, one combat laser rifle, one pump
shotgun, and one burst rifle, plus the PEAC and six blaster revolvers as
sidearms. The primary intention of the combat laser rifle, pump shotgun,
and burst rifle is to provide a little AP which blasters universally
badly lack, so the ghostrole should be decently competitive against
armour. My hope is it should be roughly as strong as the Coalition
Ranger ship in combat.
4. I'm not totally happy with the hangar, but I'm not satisfied with any
of the docking port designs I've been able to think of, so I'm running
with it for now. I do believe a docking port is generally preferable.
5. Per Trio, species restrictions are tightened a bit on the Decurion to
only cover humans, Skrell, IPCs, and Vaurca Warriors. Liable to be
changed. Vaurca workers have also been excluded from every combatant
ghostrole, playable only as technicians. I'll be prodding at adding
bulwarks too, but they're not currently included due to some fickleness
with giving them appropriate uniforms.
6. The sensors are the strong variant for the shuttle and ship, with the
idea that it should be particularly good at reconnaissance. I doubt
anyone would use the shuttle to scout the sector, but the sensors are
good to throw a bone in that direction.
Premade exosuits weren't spawning with power cores, which meant that
mapped-in mechs off the Horizon were effectively unusable. All premade
mechs will now spawn with an appropriate power core.
Fixes mech mounted autolathes.
Adds a hand-mounted toolset that has: a wrench, a crowbar, and a screwdriver setting.
Replaces the AI mech's drill with a hand-mounted toolset.
I need icon and on-mech sprites for the back-mounted autolathe and the hand-mounted toolset. Neither have to have any special animations or anything, static images are fine. Toolset sprite doesn't have to change with tool change.
The AI can now remotely control mechs in its network. It has one mapped in near its core.
Messages received by your old body will now reach your VR body (does not affect Skrell Srom).
Exosuit pilots can now interact with elevator panels without having to get out.
Robotics and RnD can now create remote controlled mechs. The control centre is in the protolathe, while the exosuit upgrade is in the circuit imprinter.
Mechs can no longer be dismantled if it has a pilot in it.
Dismantling a mech now takes a while.
Redoes how mechs assign their bodyparts and hardpoints. Should be much easier to make new mechs now, mechs can also now handle having children. Bless.
Created the backbone for having a mounted autolathe, however it needs a mech_equipment sprite, and a new GUI, which isn't something I'm capable of doing.
Walking over someone lying on the floor with mechs will now hurt them. Damage is based on the legs.
Also, removed some baylore references to the mech parts, and made so that mechs can push mobs around.
sounadd: "Added sounds to mech's punch. They are different for each mech arms type and volume depends on damage of arms."
tweak: "Ripley's arms damage was increased to 40 damage."
The armour and armor again strikes:
Apparently original Mech port PR has overridden borg's armor definition and was using it. This fixes it by making mech's armor a child of borg's armor instead.
renames borg's armour to armor references.
Mech's melee damage has been increased. It depends on manipulator type. Light: 15, Regular: 20, Combat 30, Heavy: 50. Fixes#7665
Adds missed check in mech's destroy proc
Spent lots of time and lots of changes to fix issues:
bugfix: "Mechs no longer runtime during destroy call."
bugfix: "Turrets and NPCS no longer target empty mechs."
bugfix: "Mechs no longer runtime during armor check. Mechs now use their armor and values for it. Before it would ignore them entirely and deal 100% damage."
Added ismech() define and also QDEL_NULL_LIST() define from TG. Matt's suggestion
renamed any armour references in mech code to armor to keep it consistent
