The agent ID card now makes you invisible to the AI when electronic warfare is enabled.
The price of the agent ID card have been upped to 4, from 3.
Agent IDs now have a charge, which lasts for a few minutes. When the charge runs out, electronic warfare is disabled.
Credits to Loaf (the man of many names) from Nebula for teaching me this technique.
Wizard spellbooks can now be stored in the belt slot.
Necromancers now get 10 spell points, up from 8.
Smoke now properly layers over mobs, obscuring them.
Wizard Apprentices and Skeletons are now in the Ghost Spawner menu. The former can be enabled by buying an Apprentice Pebble artifact, a new wizard item which acts as a portable spawnpoint. The latter by casting Raise Dead on a corpse.
Apprentices are now given additional spells at the bottom of their spellbook, depending on which type of wizard their master is."
Bought artifacts now appear in your hands, if you have any free.
The Return to Master spell has received numerous bugfixes and should now work as expected, most of the time.
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.
So while I was doing completely different things, I remembered discussing, with Geeves, that our preferences toggles only save 16 bit flags. Despite BYOND now supporting 24 of them. Lo and behold, sanitization is at fault. So I fixed it.
Added a define BITFIELDMAX to indicate the max length of a BYOND bitfield. Replaced all relevant uses of 65535 with it. (Need to do a sweep for 0xffff as well, actually.)
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."
An array of fishnet stuff (including sockless ones by Aticius), an alt sports bra, an alt bra (the sprite was unused), lacy bras, a halterneck bra, recolorable binders. Most sprites from Polaris.
Tweaked a hell of a lot of silicon code to make synthetics better.
Synths with scrambled codes that prevent them from being on robotics computers will now appear on Merc camera networks.
Both variants of the engineering borg can now deploy the malf borging machine.
Medical borgs no longer get polyacid sprays, instead getting Wulumunusha CMO Hyposprays, which cause muteness.
You must now be on help intent to use items like crowbars and screwdrivers on borgs. Otherwise you hit them with it.
