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."
Species that are neuter (at least from the human/player characters' perspective) will now properly spawn as neuter, and be neuter in the character setup screen.
This affects (tagged) IPCs, Dionae, Vox & Vaurca.
Also fixes some gender related grammar stuff.
I think all the procs that randomise based on gender will just default to one or the other and shouldn't have noticeably weird results.
This also fixes the bug where Diona players would be 'he/she', but NPC diona would be 'it'.
rscadd: "Adds the ability to remove appendix and other organs in character setup."
rscadd: "Adds two kidneys! Splits the work up between the two organs."
Also adds the ability for a mechanical liver and kidneys,appendix
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 PR implements a system for manipulating a client's color safely and also ports a prioritization system for sorting client color from /tg/. Currently this PR also implements client coloration in the form of color blindness, namely:
Monochromacy
Deuteranopia
Tritanopia
Protanopia
DTP are mild brain traumas, whereas monocrhomacy is a severe brain trauma.
Furthermore, this PR removes the Needs Glasses prompt in character creation, and replaces it with a disability selector, allowing people to more closely refine their special little snowflakes.
Current disabilities available:
Nervousness
Nearsightedness
Deuteranopia
Tritanopia
Protanopia
Deafness
Muteness
This PR adds 2 subtypes of industrial and two subtypes of baseline, one for each cybernetics manufacturer. Sprites by BRAINOS.
other changes:
IPCs can now be flashed or flashbanged.
Admin spawn paths have been added for subspecies that did not have them.
IPCs are no longer slowed by being cold.
changes:
Changed a lot of string building to use lists & Join() - this should reduce the number of strings generated at runtime.
Fixed a bug where the incidents menu was not populated.
Changed color boxes to use CSS & divs instead of one-cell tables.
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)
Fix the most common RTs from Sunday's testing.
Also works on orebags. Limits their capacity to 200, as anything higher than that breaks the fancy inventory system something awful. Maybe I should write a UT to test and confirm this. Expanding: I don't think TICK_CHECK in inventory procs is a good idea, without fully implementing a non-fancy storage subclass. Non-fancy would just be speedy without all of the fancy inventory orientation bullshit. But CBA to do that now and I'm not sure if it's worth it for the edgecase of drone satchels atm.
Ports the bay's character preview system, which is far better to observe aesthetic changes in the character creation, also solves the issues such as markings don't showing up at the character selection menu.
The system used to be of complexity O(n^2). Essentially two for loops running per every argument. Which ended up being surprisingly slow (there were instances where I saw the argument parser as using quite a lot of CPU time).
This replaces it with a more linear algorithm. It's somewhere near O(n) where n is the length of the unparsed query. Which is more stable and faaaster. This comes with two changes, however:
Parameters inside the query now have to be delimited from both sides with : (colons). The alternative to this would be to use something like $n or just assume that space marks the end of a marker. Only the former is workable, the latter would break a few queries already.
Arguments in the argument array no longer have to be prefixed by : (colons). So, while in the query you would write :thing:, you'd initialize the array of args as: list("thing" = somevar). It could be made to work without it, but eh, I think this is fine.
Argument validation is slightly weaker. What I mean by this is that with the old system, unused keys would result in an error. This is no longer a thing. Missing keys will still result in an error, however.
One more improvement: double delimiting removes an edge case where if key A partially covers key B, depending on the order, key A would mangle key B.
Updated and tested all queries that I could find. So this should be good.
In compliance with Jackboot's freshest tyranny, I've restricted Shells to being human only. This actually simplifies the code tonnes, and may solve several Shell-related bugs reported previously.
