Currently, a mouse gnawing open a box to get its contents generates about a screen's worth of chatspam. And the same applies to eating a box of raisins or similar large meal. I feel this isn't appropriate for the size of the creature nor the severity of the act. In any case ive come up with a better method.
Main attraction of this PR, is that the box nibbling no longer uses visible messages, it only outputs to chat once, when it finally ruptures. In the meantime, any nibbling which doesn't break the box will instead shake it around and make a nibbling sound. Shaking code stolen from locker resist
Mice nibbling things is a quiet clicking noise, easy to ignore. so its unintrusive
Update: I've now extended this to all animal nibbling, not only boxes, but also on food too. To cut down on chatspam from small animals eating things.
The result of this change is that a creature eating a box or a meal is simultaneously easier than before to notice, if you care about it. And easier to ignore, if you don't care.
Also included, two bugfixes:
Re-adds the reverted console canpass behaviour that was lost a couple patches ago
adds a little robustness fix to animals, to deal with an issue where they were getting their stat set back to 0 without properly waking up. still not sure why it happens but now the icons will properly update when they do
Fixes#1489Fixes#1499
Grippers basically torn up and remade, i went down to the root and incorporated them into cyborg click and inventory code. This should make them resistant against future bugs.
Fixes all current known gripper bugs. Grippers work properly with all the stuff they should. Minor tweaks to borg modules.
In addition, i went and raided VG, TG, paradise and bay repositories, and ported all their best sprites that were suitable for us. VG station was the most lucrative by far, about 70% of the new ones came from there.
