Hey remember when ling reworks were a thing?
Anyway this implements the hivemind thing that Geeves was working on (And then I was working on). It actually works for messages, ghosting, kicking, etc now.
Succ'd people can now remain as part of the changeling's local hivemind and chat with them. If they salt, ling can kick them. If they don't want to participate this way, they can ghost.
If I actually get around to it, this also serves as the basis for allowing the ling to do things with them, such as creating horror mobs, injecting them into corpses, or other ideas that might get the succ'd person back into the round in a different way. Which, should hopefully reduce complaints and make ling way cooler.
As a continuation of #9389
As a bonus, any drugs that mentioned their IRL counterpart in their description now describe their predecessor as ancient, and the new ones as modern. The biggest difference here is just the Antihistamine which was given a full new name. They're similar enough that they'll be recognized (most of them) but different enough for us to call our own and not care what the real medicines are/do since these are our sci-fantasy versions just inspired by them.
Currently, hearing related stuff is handled in at least three places throughout Life(), and whether a mob is deaf or not is complicated - Handled by an sdisabilities flag, has_hearing_aid() and ear_deaf.
This change consolidates everything into handle_hearing(); whether a mob is deaf or not can be determined just by the value of ear_deaf using isdeaf()
Fixes#9310Fixes#8490
The components port #8890 only partially implemented a later tg PR #49098 suggested by ninjanomnom here. Missing an important part that affected elements. The result of that was that it wasn't possible to pass any arguments other than the element datum to AddElement().
This PR adds the missing bit, which are the changes in the linked PR here and makes passing arguments to elements work properly.
And another unrelated missing bit that doesn't affect anything (yet)
The RnD Console UI has been overhauled.
RnD levels are now a gradual progress instead of just leveling up, not much has changed, but deconstructed items now give more * Data disks now tell you what they contain.
The red scanning goggles now let you see examined items' tech levels.
RnD consoles should now open on the main menu instead of the research menu.
Ejected items from the RnD console and destructive analyzer now go into your hands if you're adjacent.
Implements a wrapper to the call()() function, meant to be used for calling dylibs.
This is useful for two reasons:
It allows us to debug the dylib calls (such as timing for the time being).
Off-station antagonists will no longer keep the player's character's flavour text.
Antagonists will now be assigned random names before they pick their name.
Added a lowpop gamemode called 'Burglars', featuring a new type of antagonist, a mix between a heister and a traitor. Neutered for lowpop fun.
Added a mixed gamemode, 'Conflict', which is heisters and burglars.
This shit is just full of issues that keep popping up and frankly I can't be fucked to deal with them.
Note: I'll probably do the same thing again but very simplified later on. This iteration is a mistake in how much of a mess it is, unfortunately.
Now this might actually be the last of the ports before I actually code things I swear.
Ports Baystation12/Baystation12#25773 and adds sprinting by holding the shift key, also adding the option to add more movement intents for species with their own slowdown etc etc.
Adds a lock-up detecting profiler to the game, using BYOND's new programmatic access to the profiler.
The idea is that we have an SS that's roughly called every tick. This will detect a lock-up by using world.timeofday. There might be a small issue with midnight rollover but eh. Don't. Really care. A notice is printed for each printout. These can later be processed in Python.
-Almost all aspects of virology and it's related machinery and objects have been purged from the code and map.
-Most of disease code has been purged. Some pieces of it remain as holdovers because they would require extensive rewrite of defines and codes for things like nanite robot transformation and appendicitis (that frankly isn't necessary)
-The outbreak event has been purged, as has the virology malicious code event variant.
-The Virology department has been remapped into the Abandoned Sector.
Ports Baystation12/Baystation12#19992 and Baystation12/Baystation12#27266.
Added a personal shield device to the traitor tools uplink.
Added a radiant shielding aura spell to Battlemage and Cleric.
Added an exosuit shield drone to the mechfab.
This works, but I'm not entirely happy with the sprites. The personal shield has no on-mob shimmer, it uses a mindbatterer grenade as an icon sprite. The wizard radiant spell uses a pretty big and janky sprite as an on-mob, and the exosuit's shield sprite doesn't follow the dir the mech faces, but that one I can maybe fix on my own. If anyone knows about that last one, lemme know, Bay had code for it that we do not.
#8005 just revived.
Tasks to acomplish while here:
Fix merge conflicts
Add ntIRC direct messaging
Things I migth consider adding in future PR:
Porting IRC to VueUI
Porting File Manager to VueUI.
This pr adds an augment option to the loadout, that by using copious amounts of shitcode, allows players to spend their snowflake points into becoming total powergamers cool augmented cyborgs.
Also, make a couple of changes to allow all limbs to host internal organs and interact with them in surgery.
The lifeless live again. Or in this case, what never actually lived here.
Ports Baystation12/Baystation12#17460 probably for real this time. What this allows us to do is create shuttles on runtime and make shuttles easier by just making landmarks and a shuttle instead of areas and shuttles. Also allows runtime landmark creation via flares or whatever AND allows shuttles to use different landmarks at will.
I removed most of the overmap stuff, I think. It shouldn't be hard to slam it in whenever we need to.
Changes:
"Shuttle code has been completely reworked."
"Shuttles can now be modified to have more than one destination."
"Shuttles now have a takeoff sound."
"You can now throw mobs against walls to damage them. A lot."
"You now need a neckgrab to throw mobs."
"BEING UNBUCKLED DURING SHUTTLE LAUNCH IS DANGEROUS! Don't do it."
"Adminghosts can now interact with all shuttles."
