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.
This PR is pretty decent in size. The contents of changes are:
Modular guns rebalance:
Capacitors reliability was buffed: reinforced 80 -> 100, uranium 50 -> 60, teranium 45 -> 55, phoron 40 -> 50, bluespace 30 -> 45.
Added nano reinforced barrel which has 10 more reliability than reinforced barrel.
Added enhanced grip MK2, which has improved fire delay by 0.2 compared to MK1 grip.
Added stablity stock, which improves fire delay by 0.2 and accuracy by 0.5 compared to regular stock.
Added animations to lots of modular components like all capacitors, almost all modulators, lenses, etc.
Modular guns now have to be assembled inside of weapons analyzers. You cannot assemble them in hands anymore
Weapons analyzer:
Added machinery called Weapons analyzer. Main purpose of it is to display stats of any weapon or item. You can accepts anything that is an item, even trash(probably). For modular guns it will also display table of components and their statistics.
Modular guns now need to be assembled inside of weapons analyzer.
Added circuit board and ability to construct weapons analyzer in RND. Circuit board required tech: engineering = 3, data = 2, combat = 2.
Misc changes:
recharger and wall recharger now visually display on their icon how much charge is inside of weapon/gun that is being charged.
Stationbounds can no longer bolt or electrify airlocks, only unbolt or de-electrify on a five second timer. This restriction does not apply to antagonist silicons.
Malf AI can no longer machine overload the forcefields they generate.
Spawned borers now get added to the Ghostspawner menu, allowing players to inhabit them even if they didn't catch the original request.
Borers have gained the ability to survey their host's health, allowing them to better choose when to administer certain chemicals.
Borers now regenerate chemicals even if their host is unconscious.
Awakening psionics now take 15 seconds instead of 10, and the host now gets a message about feeling something bad coming on, allowing them to make a dash to safety and or seclusion.
Skrell returning from Srom no longer eject controlling borers to the lobby by replacing their ckey into the aether.
Skrell no longer spontaneously die when entering Srom on a map that doesn't have a Srom location.
Adds full variants of stacks of items in the spawn menu.
Adds local narrate, which allows you to narrate to all mobs in a 7 tile radius.
Allows admins to reset stationbounds via right click or Special Verbs menu.
Adds a random type golem rune to the spawn menu, if an admin wants to adminbus a random golem into a round.
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.
look at this sick scanline animation
also newspaper print to your hands i guess
holograms cool
also fixes like a frame of the id terminal that was bugging me
Canisters now properly emit the light their icons portray them having.
Canisters now eject tanks into any of your hands, dropping them to your feet if your hands aren't free.
