Synthetics can no longer magically print color images on a black-and-white photocopier.
No longer possible for organics to acquire a synth-image by un-attaching it from a newscaster.
News articles now come with a timestamp and photo captions, if anything was penned on an attached photo.
Reception-checks no longer unconditionally sleeps the thread. Was causing havoc with NanoUI.
Misc. code refactoring.
The examine, pull, and point verbs now below to the mob instead of all atoms. Based on discussion here: http://www.byond.com/forum/?post=1326139&page=2#comment8198716
As a bonus ghosts can now point. Ghost pointing should only be visible to other ghosts unless made visible by cult activities.
Ghosts which have been made visible by cultists can afterward turn themselves (in)visible at will, with a cooldown before being able to turn themselves visible after having faded from sight.
Continues the wiring upgrade. Now cameras, airlocks, robots, and air alarms also use the new wire datum system.
Global wiring code is now removed but there are sneaky objects which didn't rely on them such as mulebots and autolathes.
Fixes a few issues from the previous upgrade.
Previously missed Z-level checks in the form "z != X". Utilized this regex which hopefully has cought most of them [zZ](\s?)(!?)=(\s?)(\d+).
Adds more Z-level configuration, admin levels.
Adds custom loadout gear:
Searif's brown leather jacket, NT brown leather jacket, and grey hoodie.
Also brings back the orange bandana, and adjusts some siemens
coefficient values that weren't making sense.
Adds sorting to the custom gear menu list.
Adds the white cheongsam as a custom gear item.
Moves the purple comb out of the custom item defines as it is no longer
just a custom item.
Adds pockets to the bomber jacket.
Reduces the cost of ponchos to 3.
Now possible to configure 3 different kind of Z-levels.
Station levels: Which Z-levels the station exists on.
Contact levels: Which Z-levels are typically affected by, for example, Code Red which alters the visual state of fire alarms.
Player levels: Which Z-levels a character can typically reach.
A jukebox which alters the ambient sound in the current area and plays it with 100% probability.
Leaving the area stops the ambient sound.
Entering the area resumes playing the ambient sound.
One can one access and view newsfeeds from the comfort of one's PDA.
Possible to change and disable the newsmessage beep.
Known issues:
Unlike browse() NanoUI does not appear to wait for browse_rsc(), the method which to transfers image to the client's cache, to finish.
This often results in newsfeeds not always displaying their images the first time they are viewed.
AIs and borgs now share law statement procs, rather than have 95% identical code variants.
Improved handling available law-statement channels. Now lists all available radio channels + any additional variants (such as "Binary", "Holopad", etc.)
Fixes a bug where synths could not state laws on the binary channel due to improper return-value.
