In this update:
Returning old e-rifles from old code.
Changing regular energy gun to energy carbine
Adding back the energy pistol
Buffing a bit the heavy asset protection suit, and fixing more loadout related issues with the nt and syndicate assault teams
Reworked a bit the syndicate commando and deathsquad loadouts
Returning shotgun boxes, that works like speed loaders, from old code, now with unique sprites
Stun batons now emit light
changes:
rscadd: "Added a Crash ability to exosuits. Uses the suit's mass to attempt to break through obstacles, sustaining some damage in the process."
tweak: "Buffed Ripley exosuit armor values significantly, and durand armour slightly. Firefighter ripley also buffed, but is slower than base ripley."
tweak: "Greatly increased the health values of some high-security airlocks."
bugfix: "Airlocks, tables, girders and windows now behave a bit more consistently when exploded. All airlocks are a bit more resistant to explosions when bolted."
rscadd: "Added some more narrator voices to exosuits."
rscadd: "Added some warning sounds for exosuits when low on power, or badly damaged."
tweak: "The power drain of EMPs used on exosuits no longer scales with the cell. A better power cell can now survive more EMP hits. Drain level is a little lower for the starting cell."
tweak: "EMP damage against exosuits reduced by 20%"
changes:
bugfix: "Newly protolathed/fabricated power cells now spawn with no charge."
rscdel: "Added entropy to all cell-charging operations."
tweak: "Most chargers are now faster. Cyborg charging stations are significantly slower."
bugfix: "Fixed newly spawned cells showing the incorrect charge state."
New PR to fix merge issues
Porting an event from tg. Scrubbers get clogged and eject some chemical smoke with potentially fun effeects
I looked through chemsmoke code while doing this, and found it wanting, so i improved it. Added a duration input, adjusted all uses of chemsmoke in the code. Generally gave them all higher durations, chemsmoke grenades were a disappointing poot
Adds a new mundane event, false alarm.
It picks a random moderate or severe event and fakes its announcement without actually running the event.
Three minutes later, CC sends another announcement apologising for the false alarm
Also added an event var allowing events to exclude themselves from being picked for faking
tweak: "Adjusted event many weights. Made meteors and vendor breakdowns less common, ion storms more common."
tweak: "Slightly reduced overall frequency of random events."
rscadd: "Reworked the infestation event!! Can now spawn in a wider variety of locations, and spawn a wider variety of creatures."
rscadd: "Spiders spawned by the infestation event will now grow up, but much slower."
rscadd: "Reduced length of meteor storm a little. Total meteors not changed."
Overhauls the contained sprites system to be feature complete in terms of what it can do and offers. Now almost all cases of clothing and other items may use the system properly.
No clue why holder_damage() is even a thing: all it does is call ex_act on the holder **before** the explosion is set off. The explosion code itself manages that quite neatly, by calling ex_act on the holder's container, and then cascading from there.
This also solves the runtime error with chemical explosion grenades!
tweak: "Tweaked surgeon cyborg modules: Added chemistry gripper, removed fire extinguisher, and added soporific to their hypospray."
tweak: "Removed chemistry gripper from crisis borg."
maptweak: "The chemistry and botany fridges are now see-through, so you can more easily chat with people on the other side."
tweak: "Cost of cyborg renaming module vastly decreased"
tweak: "Renamed medical's Chemical Closet, to Chemistry Equipment Closet. Nobody ever stores chemicals in an unrefridgerated closet."
rscadd: "Added two boxes of empty spraybottles to the chemistry equipment closet."
changes:
rscadd: "Chainswords now have an improved animation."
rscadd: "Chainswords and energy blades can no longer get embedded in people."
rscadd: "Chainswords and energy blades can now be used as surgical tools to amputate limbs. Chainswords are messy. Energy blades will cut clean and cauterize the wound"
tweak: "Surgery messages about amputating bodyparts are now very noticeable"
tweak: "Cauterising wounds with a welding tool is much more reliable. Cauterising with a cigarette is no longer effective."
bugfix: "Fixed chainsword held sprite not updating when toggled"
Resolves#597
rscadd: "Non-wizards using wizard items may experience fun stuff."
tweak: "Mental focus damage level's have returned to old-code, to better compete with Mutate."
bugfix: "Mental focus staff has had its area of effect mode returned."
Adds an extra janitor slot and some mapping work to support it, reworks the janicart a fair bit.
changes:
rscadd: "Increased number of janitor slots to two."
rscadd: "Janitorial carts can now be constructed with metal sheets, and deconstructed with a wrench, welder or plasmacutter if empty."
tweak: "Janicarts now come without a bucket. Click and drag a mop bucket onto a cart to mount it, and you can unmount it from the janicart interface."
tweak: "Placing a mop into a janicart, and pouring containers into the bucket, is now done with alt-click. A leftclick will now always wet the mop, and throw objects into the trashbag, respectively."
rscadd: "Janicarts can now be climbed over like tables - Click and drag your sprite onto it."
tweak: "Custodial closet's Spraycleaner, cleaning grenades, and spare lights, are now inside the janitorial locker instead of on table/floor."
tweak: "Added an extra janitorial locker in the custodial closet."
bugfix: "Fixed the Captain's deluxe soap being unuseable for cleaning"
tweak: "Soap can now clean more tiles when wetted"
tweak: "Soap and rags can now be wetted in buckets, mopbuckets, watertanks and janicarts"
Chainswords can be turned on and off, with sprite and damage changes. Also, adding more swords, with some flavor and stats differences.
Swords cannot go inside bags anymore.
Welding tools can now be used to burn paper
The upgraded and experimental welding tools will now fit in a toolbelt. Upgraded renamed to advanced.
Fixed and implemented the Experimental Welding Tool, which has a regenerating fuel supply. Can be produced in R&D, requires 4 research in engineering and materials.
Makes several lorefriendly changes to chargen.
Permits numbers in chargen naming for the benefit of IPCs.
Permits chargen fluff to be viewed via employment record consoles and ID cards.
Vaurca hivemind language added.
Vaurca appropriate name generator added.
Tied Vaurca language to their neural socket organ.
Added a method for non-Vaurca to intercept the Vaurca hivenet so long as they construct the correct item.
Sprites for Vaurca organs.
Neutered all Vaurca.
Cutting open a Vaurca for surgery now requires heavier equipment.
Injecting a Vaurca with a syringe now will take time.
Adds various Vaurca cosmetic items available via loadout.
Adds a few new burst-fire weapons exploiting the burstfire fix - obtainable via research or adminbus.
Ports the ability to stick heads on spears from Paradise-code.
Added an error message when trying to bite someone before the cooldown expires.
Removed spoken Vaurca language.
Heavily nerfed K'ois' properties.
Halved the nutrition value of nutriment, returning it to old-code state.
Nerfed the damage dealt by bite, while reducing the cooldown.
Fixed burstfire weapons spamming attack messages when fired, allowing for more automatic weapons.
Fixed Vaurca player ability to select coloured eyes.
This pull adds bolt actions rifles, they are like pump shotguns, with the capacity for 5 7.62mm bullets.
Also adds a 7.62mm clip in the hacked autolathe. Raiders have a chance to spawn with one.
Somewhat rewrote the cyborg jetpack to be an internal component instead of a software upgrade. this allows it to be removed or destroyed, and to work without putting something in the borg's inventory. Also fixed it, it was broken. Cyborg jetpack can now be installed on a wider array of borgs that have reason to go EVA: Crisis, security, engineering, construction (also the unused combat borg, incase that gets re-enabled)
