This is honestly one of my biggest and most ambitious projects. I hope people are happy with this.
Custom kinetic accelerators are special, customizable mining weapons that are meant to give a sense of progression, and a sense of pride and accomplishment while mining. Each custom KA is made up of 3 or 4 parts:
The Frame (5 to choose from)
The Cell (5 to choose from, +1 traitor)
The Barrel (5 to choose from, +1 traitor)
The Upgrade Chip (7 to choose from, +1 traitor)
The sprites change with each addon, they are truly dynamic and there are so many combinations of parts that a miner can have. You can have several different builds for each desired mining style, it's quite a robust system.
You can have a KA that shoots slowly, but delivers high-penetrating shots that go through several walls of rock. You can have a KA that shoots REALLY fast, but precisely destroys 1 rock at a time. You can have an absolute canon of a beast, that destroys rocks in a 3 tile radius around it.
The parts can be obtained via research, via abandoned crates, or via RNG in the cargo warehouse. There are some custom KAs that spawn on the raider's ship, on the mercs ship, and a laser one on the merc's headquarters. That laser one can also be bought from the traitor uplink as well.
ERT get a class 4 KA for use in special operations, if they choose to use it.
What the title says, it was really high, having around 15% of instakilling someone on the first hit, if aiming at head, and 30% of chance of cutting a leg or arm at the first hit, this should reduce those chances. The main feature also takes in consideration the armor. So, plasma cutters are far more effective against less armored foes, limbs and xenos at all.
Projectile hitscan effects moved to /effects/projectiles folder.
Most of projectile firing code and some of impact code refactored, and projectile hitscan effects refactored with ported TGcode (which is mostly TGcode I wrote anyways 😎)
Projectiles can now be fired at any angle, instead of just at the center of turfs!
Projectiles are now [in theory] 100% accurate down to 0.001 of a pixel.
This PR rips out the old Bump() and Bumped() procs and replaces them with Collide() and CollidedWith() respectively. Behavior should be the same, but Bump() should no longer be double-called, and no longer relies on spawns.
Other changes:
LAssailant is now a weakref.
Some direct loc setting are now forceMove().
Ports Baystation12/Baystation12#12658
Changing how the calculation of armor works , instead of just being a check if it is protected fully, half or nothing. Making armor more reliable and less rng dependant.
Also, uranium meteors will irradiate nearby people when they explode.
changes:
Machinery now uses machinery_process() instead of process(), allowing machines to be put into SSprocessing-style lists in addition to the machinery list.
Automatic power calculations now involve less proc-calls.
-changed some things on the tweak path loadout to avoid runtimes
-fixed some species being affected by virus when they should be immune to them
-fixed being able to miss when firing point blank
-tweaks a bit more the corporate safe contents
-moves some clothing objects to the proper place and fixes some names
Adds Shells. Adds tags. Adds IPC subspecies. Adds HK-47's. Does not add IPC construction.
Beyond the obvious review of shells, the exact stats of the IPC subspecies need review. They were largely an afterthought, and quickly overshadowed by the shell project.
Changes:
-ported hoodies from polaris/tg, I will place them somewhere someday
-fixed missing sec berets and badges missing sprites and being wrong at all
-fixed a lot of unecessary/troublesome code with the hos gear
-force gloves have a different sprite now
-fixed missing visible message when being hit by bullets
tweak: "Lethal damage of rubber bullets and beanbag shells reduced. They will be far less likely to cause broken bones and internal damage now."
tweak: "Halloss (Pain) from rubber and beanbag rounds is now blocked by armour."

Removes improper code, that would cause spell projectiles to be deleted pre-maturely as well as cast the spell effect all too often.
Also removes completely unused code.
Turrets now aim at the chest/groin unless the target has a neck grab on someone, otherwise they aim elsewhere.
Projectiles are now able to miss targets that are lying or buckled, except when the target is at point blank range and is the original target for the projectile.
