rscadd: "Handheld modular computers now use flashlights as a light source. They may be turned on/off via a button in the PC header, and have their brightness adjusted in Hardware Configuration."
tweak: Message notifications should be much larger.
tweak: "Chat messages are now logged to the NTNet Monitoring program."
bugfix: "IDs are now unregistered from computers when the computer is destroyed."
bugfix: "Fix Eject Battery having a global view range."
bugfix: "Chat Clients are no longer set to 'silent' by default."
backend: "Added a new slider component for VueUIs."
Closes#10439
PDAs are dead, long live PDAs. All trace of old PDAs has been scoured from the codebase, and in its place are modular computer PDAs that are feature-equivalent. Essentially every PDA function except the Syndicate detonation feature and Notepad has been ported over, and battery life for handheld computers has been boosted alongside the addition of charging cables to make things easier.
pAI can now be put into modular computers to control them. When a pAI is inserted, a new service will be unlocked, which can disable their access to the computer.
The VueUI change wasn't tested, but finding and replacing should leave the functionality unchanged.
- rscadd: "Incompatible applications are no longer downloaded via the presets."
- tweak: "Reduced/Adapted the size of various applications."
- tweak: "The investigations / generic wristbounds are now enrolled aswell."
- tweak: "Selecting a unenrolled device in the loadout no longer gives you the advanced version of it."
- tweak: "Adapts the modular computer news browser to work with our news system"
#8005 just revived.
Tasks to acomplish while here:
Fix merge conflicts
Add ntIRC direct messaging
Things I migth consider adding in future PR:
Porting IRC to VueUI
Porting File Manager to VueUI.
Things this does:
Refactors _app_preset_name to use a type name instead. This makes it validate the presets at compile time, making it much more secure.
Removes all records computers from the code, along with the CMC.
Replaces all records computers with appropriate modular computers
Each head of staff now has 1 departmental computer, 1 head-specific computer, 1 head laptop
Removes the C&C program from the heads that had it, because you're supposed to use the bridge for it.
Made it so items get their pixel x/y reset on pickup.
Thrown items now also get their pixel placement slightly randomized.
Tweaked the center of mass on a boatload of items to be more accurate to their sprite art.
Replaced a bunch of randomized pixel placement code into a unifying proc; randpixel_xy() that uses an item's randpixel var.
changes:
Rechargers now briefly show a progress bar showing the current charge level of the device currently charging.
Examining a recharger will now specify what is in the charger.
Atoms can now mark themselves as requiring an icon update on initialize instead of overriding Initialize() just to call update_icon().
Charger code is now slightly more modular, using proc/get_cell() to get a ref to the power cell instead of hard-coded if-else chains for each supported type.
changes:
playsound now reuses sound datums instead of creating a new one for each mob.
Footsteps no longer use an in list (...)
Modular computers now beep occasionally (if your client's Ambience pref is on)
Sounds from Bay.
changes:
Holo-computers' displays now draw above the lighting layer, allowing them to be seen in the dark.
APCs' displays now draw above the lighting layer, allowing them to be seen in the dark.
The downloader and the file manager no longer come default on any device.
A client enrollment app comes now with every console
The user has to select weather the device is a private or company device and select a software preset if its a work console
Work devices are locked down to a specific set of programs
Private devices get the downloader and the file manager to install programs as usual.
Threw out the backup of the old-old camera monitor.
Made software presets a generic thing that are not dependant on the form factor of a device.
Ported holowarrants from bay
Ported wall mounted consoles from bay
Ported various computer fixes from bay
Vending machines spawn now with the holowarrant "client"
Mapping changes:
CE and HoS dont get a modular computer with command preset (they did not have that before bay merge, so why should they now)
Added a modular computer with command preset to the head of staff briefing room
Replaced the camera monitoring console in the Engine Control room with a modular computer
Replaced the cam monitor in the CE´s office with a wall mounted console
Switched places of the bar sink and console
Replaced the consoles with obj/item consoles
Mapped in the ERT and Merc Console (Merc Shuttle, ERT Area)
Fixed the "border" at the heisters base
Also waiting for CCIA on a design for the warrants.
But that can be changed with a follow up pull
