On request from a staff member, I have implemented a delay on using Absorb DNA. Changelings will be unable to use the ability for a full minute after successfully completing it.
This PR will lead us towards the Promised Day, for in its wake there shall be much celebration and ecstasy as this world becomes a world suitable for developer hegemony. The first strike is thusly;
All << is converted into to_chat().
This is Stage 1 of my ling rework. It is intended to be a standalone fix that corrects one of the particularly frustrating aspects of changeling, along with a few minor QoL tweaks. There WILL be more stuff later as I continue the rework, but this is sorely needed now.
Here is what it has done:
-There is now an ability called Absorb DNA available to all changelings, it has replaced the old ability of the same name.
--It can target anyone adjacent to you, and they can't move or it fails.
--It takes about 1/3 the time of a succ, but you don't have to grab them, you just have to chat with them or whatever to encourage them to remain put. You know, roleplay and stuff.
--It does not kill the target, or work on other changelings.
--After it is completed, you receive 1 DNA point
--Approximately 10-15 seconds after you complete the process, the target will receive a small but noticeable amount of genetic damage. This is do prevent people from immediately flipping the fuck out because they took damage and pointing at the person next to them as the cause.
--Attempting to absorb the DNA with someone who has over 100 genetic damage will cause them to become briefly stunned and husked.
A lot of the gamemodes had bad requirements for players and antags, and as a result, it would result in bad rounds that were either incredibly boring or one sided. Gamemodes would appear to be far too common, such as changeling and vampire, as the requirements for players and antags are VERY little.
Overview
Adds thirst mechanics. Thirst mechanics work exactly like hunger mechanics where if you don't drink enough liquid, you become thirsty and move slower. Several other mechanics involving drinks were also changed.
For organic races, you gain hydration by consuming beverages and water. Water is the most effective way of hydrating yourself. IPCs are not affected by hydration and do not have to worry about it. If you overeat or overdrink, your nutrition decreases faster until you are of normal hunger and thirst levels.
Penalties for not eating or drinking are now more severe. If you refuse to drink or eat all shift, you will be up to 33% slower and take twice as much pain damage. The amount scales based on your hunger or thirst levels. If you are considered hungry or thirsty, it starts scaling until you're starving or seriously dehydrated. If you overeat and overdrink as well, you get a ~5% reduced movement and pain tolerance with each mechanic.
The icons for hunger have been updated to be more specific, and they match the new thirst indicators as well. https://i.imgur.com/QQbWxYI.png
You can now also inject beverages into your blood for x4 effectiveness. Before, IV dripping yourself with vodka did nothing but give you a small amount of toxins, but now it should be a hell of a party.
Dionaea can now be affected by beverages with respect to nutrition gains and temperature changes. Dionaea cannot be affected by some effects, such as stuttering and intoxication, still.
Healing effects for certain beverages (tea, milk) were removed. This a HRP server, milk shouldn't heal you.
changes:
Reworked how human body icon keys are generated; resulting keys should be much shorter now and involve less duplication of the same string.
Players are now shown a message when they try to add markings to a species that has none available.
Admin revive for human-types will now also re-apply their organ and marking prefs.
Admin revive now also resets shock_stage (fixes rejuv'd mobs being slow for a while)
Adds an end game power for changelings (15 genomes points), allowing them to turn into a robust mob for around five minutes.
Fixes some issues with arm blades and shields, also adds a chem costs to using them.
Adds new changeling related sounds.
This PR adds a new helper (ADD_VERB_IN(target, time, verb)) to add verbs to a mob using timers instead of spawn.
Also converted a few instances of spawn-verb-adding to the new helper.

Fixes nutrition displays not updating.
Adds code support for species-variable levels of max nutrition storage, and nutrition loss. No actual variations are yet implemented, awaiting input from lore team.
Fixes all relevant static isntances of numeric literals with the max_nutrition variable
And a feature tweak: Players will now spawn with randomised nutrition levels when they join
Should make scaling of antags proper. At the start of the round, it updates the initial_spawn_target of each active antagonist template in relation to the player count.
The initial_spawn_target will never be lower than the initial_spawn_req, or higher than the hard_cap. It'll default as necessary.
