changes:
Z-lights can now shine both upwards and downwards.
Z-lights will now get less intense with each zlevel traversed.
Sunlight no longer has distance falloff.
Minor optimizations/simplification for directional lighting.
Implements a configurable sun for a sunlight effect using the lighting engine.
Abuses Z-lights to illuminate Zs in a semi-realistic way.
Kinda slow at setting state, but state changes shouldn't lag & are rare.
Also adds the ability to create lights that ignore visibility when calculating range, causing them to shine through objects/walls.
This is it. The big one.
Risk: Very large. This modifies or rewrites several important systems.
Some things still need balancing, but that's probably better done if/when this hits dev.
changes:
New smooth lighting system.
Machinery split into three processes: machinery, powernet, pipenet Removed due to breakage. Refactored into multi-step process.
Mob process rewritten.
NanoUI process rewritten.
Objects process rewritten.
Tweaked color output of station lights.
Slime core lights now emit colored light.
Fixed light update frequency issue with fire alarms, hydroponics trays, and airlocks.
Increased light emission from bolted airlocks.
Miscellaneous performance improvements.
New datum pool implementation.
New lighting usage profiler.
Lighting system now tracks UV light, which is not visible to players.
Space now has a parallax effect.
Disabled Spin View verbs due to incompatibility with the new lighting system.
Disabled hallucination view spin due to incompatibility with the new lighting system.
Lighting system now initializes in the lobby before the round starts to reduce BoR deadtime.
Added UV light tracking to lighting engine; dionae now gain energy exclusively from UV light.
Added colored lighting to a few consoles that used default (white) light.
Removes lighting transitions- they don't work with the new system.
Greyscale overlays now use BLEND_OVERLAY instead of BLEND_MULTIPLY for
better client performance.
Light overlays in total darkness are now made invisible.
