changes:
rscadd: "Ported a new chat system, Goonchat, that allows for cool things like changing font style, size, spacing, highlighting up to 5 strings in the chat, and DARK MODE."
rscadd: "Repeated chat messages can now get compacted. You can disable this in goonchat settings."
rscadd: "You can change icon style to any font on your system."
tweak: "The game window has been altered a bit to adjust for this."
rscdel: "Removed skin style prefs as they are no longer used."
I updated the supermatter manual to include new info, a FAQ section, and the proper standard set-up we now use for Aurora. It also details how to upgrade the SMES, what to upgrade it with, and what power to set it at.
This pr adds some depth to the citizenship and religion choices at the character setup.
Citizenship will now affect your loadout and mission as a consular officer.
Religion will now affect your chaplain's religion name, bible name and sprite.
Selecting any option will bring a small lore pop up for citizenship and religion choices.
Overview

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.
The less controversial tweaks
Tweaked the metabolism rate of mental medication to reflect their intended values. Reduced the dosage threshold to suppress traumas to reflect their intended values.
Syringe (drugs) now contains truth serum.
Cardox is now slightly poisonous, and can directly remove phoron from blood when consumed. Cardox can now remove phoron in the air when applied to turfs.
A secure box of loyalty implants, hextrasenil pills, and cardox grenades are now located in the vault.
The vault now contains some misc emergency gear that a head of staff can access in case of a dire situation. Current gear are loyalty implants, expensive cardox grenades, and Hextrasenil pills.
This PR removes brain surgery's ability to instantly cure all traumas. Now traumas have been roughly divided into four categories of treatment:
1: Chakra therapy cures traumas that directly affect physical behavior, such as tourettes or paralysis. It is accomplished via the crystal therapy pod available to the psychiatrist.
2: Hypnotic therapy cures traumas that directly affect mental behavior, such as phobias or confusions. It is accomplished via the mesmetron pocketwatch available to the psychiatrist.
3: Isolation therapy cures traumas that cause hallucinations. It is accomplished via the metronome and facilitated by the isolation room available to the psychiatrist.
4: Surgical therapy cures traumas that do not fit into the above categories. It is accomplished via brain surgery.
Using the crystal therapy pod's neural scan function will provide the psychiatrist the brain damage the patient suffers from in numerical form. It falls upon the psychiatrist to determine how much of this brain damage is being caused by mental traumas the crystal therapy pod is equipped to deal with. Excessive cycles will cause increasing amounts of radiation damage.
The mesmetron pocketwatch requires the patient to believe in hypnosis. It then puts the patient into a slumber, where the psychiatrist can hypnotically suggest new behavior, provided the patient continues to believe in hypnosis. Each suggestion cures a single hypnotic trauma.
The isolation room is equipped with a metronome. When active, the metronome will have a chance every ticktock of the metronome to cure an isolation trauma, provided the patient is totally alone.
The psychiatry office has been expanded into a complete mental health ward. The only thing it is lacking is beds, as I believe recovering mental health patients still belong in the recovery ward.
The chaplain can also cure isolation and chakra traumas by dispelling the demons within with his null rod. Staring at the supermatter unprotected has been known to hypnotize. Electricity applied by any source directly to the head is also known to sometimes cure electroshock trauma.

Holodeck presets are now defined on the map datum.
Atmos machinery now uses Initialize().
