changes:
Engineering now actually gets engineering-type alert consoles instead of the non-functional base type.
Lighting is no longer broken by shuttles.
The ERT shuttle autoannouncer should no longer cause lighting runtimes.
Fixed some bad newlines in some character setup help texts.
Custom loadout tweaks now properly write to SQL.
Custom loadout is now saved as JSON.
Players are now shown a notice when the server was unable to load their custom loadout.
Drowsyness is now clamped to zero.
Added some new tips to the example.
Tweaked some tips' grammar.
Removed some tips that do not apply to our code base.
Probably fixes embraced vampire thralls not getting vampire verbs.
Fixes#1844.
Fixes#1835.
Probably fixes#1687.
Probably fixes#1824.
Fixes#1839
changes:
Flashlights now default to LIGHT_WIDE directional lighting.
Glowsticks, Lamps, Flares, and Slime Cores use LIGHT_OMNI.
Maglights use LIGHT_NARROW.
Heavy-duty flashlights use LIGHT_SEMI.
EVA suits default to LIGHT_WIDE.
Lanterns use LIGHT_OMNI, as well as now having a more appropriate light color.
Floodlights use LIGHT_WIDE, as well as having a more appropriate light color.
Synthetics default to LIGHT_WIDE. (including drones)
Added some predefined light_wedge values to the lighting defines file.
Fixed some bad angles that screwed up north/south lights in some cases.
This is similar to #1722, but it uses a bit of math to allow explicit setting of the angle of light.
Pretty much complete, although no lights have been updated to use directional lighting.
Features:
Facing a wall with a directional light results in darkness - light is not emitted on own tile.
changes:
Refactored footstep sounds to use less operations & only calculate for human-types.
Improved the logging detail of the lighting profiler.
Fixed some shuttle corners that weren't correctly working with parallax space.
Converted get_turf() into a compiler macro.
Solars are now dynamically lit.
Silenced warning from lighting overlays pooling themselves when updated on a space tile.
Fixed a bug where securing a girder was instant when it was supposed to have a delay.
This PR reduces the tick rate of the lighting process from 1 ds interval to 10 ds interval, and removes some pointless updates from Destroy().
Also removes some left over defines from update_type and darkness overlays that I forgot to remove earlier.
Fixes#1683.
This PR simplifies the lighting update system (removes update_type) and instead makes the lighting system decide which update method to use based on server load.
Instant updates are used during low-load, scheduled during high.
Also removes: update_lights_now() (redundant), diff_light() (unused).
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.
