= Giant Spiders =
- Nurses spin webs which impede progress, bundle items and mobs up in cocoons, lay eggs to create spiderlings
- Nurses are slow and weak, but their bite has a chance to paralyse the victim
- Spiderlings skitter about and eventually grow into giant spiders.
- Spiderlings will ventcrawl, so they can spread over the station pretty fast.
- Hunters are fast, have decent health and the most effective poison
- Guards are medium speed but the health and direct damage
- The poison of hunters and guards can cause hallucinations if they bite you
= Farm animals =
- Cows can be milked or butchered for a large supply of meat. Sadists can also tip them over (with intent_help).
- Goats can also be milked, but have a nasty temperament.
- Chicks grow up to be chickens, who lay eggs and continue the cycle. But where did it start? (they're very noisy).
- All three are orderable via QM.
My changes:
- Added a spider infestation event.
- Optimized code with spiders and simple_animals.
- Made a /hostile/retaliate type which will only fight back when hurt. Based on Cael's code.
- Added some farm animals on the map.
- Changed events, added a setup() proc which can let you setup variables or the event. Made the event only kill itself when it has called, announce(), start() and end().
- Brainrot will only need alkysine as a cure.
- Communication blackout will always be silent.
- Changed some admin buttons to use the new event system.
- Added a forceEvent proc which you can use when you enable debug verbs.

- Xenos suit and helm (completely obscuring, and almost indistinguishable from drones) (admin spawned only for now).
- Facehuggers now have different icon states for being thrown and after impregnation.
- New death, unconscious and sleeping icons for aliens.
- New icon (and projectile type) for neuroxotin.
- New infection overlay images for telling aliens about pregnant humans (3 icons, showing the progression of the infestation).
- New system for handling alien impregnation (alien embryos are an object inside the mob, instead of a disease).
- Players can be operated surgically to remove the alien embryos (targetting the chest: scalpel, surgical saw, hemostat, retractors. If the embryo is nearly fully developed, it might come out alive though.
- Corgis can now get impregnated.
- There is a short animated overlay of a chestburster when it comes time to burst chests.
- Alien larva now have three different icon sets, depending on their growth (25% they are bloody and pale, 25% - 75% they are pale, 75% onwards they are deep red).
Fixed up table smashing, and added rack smashing in the same way.
Added new north/south facing for the large alien queen.
Updated the changelog.

-Removed an unneeded fingerprint proc.
-Fixed some of the blood/vomit/gibs spills not correctly processing.
-Reduced the life of a virus with no mob host.
-You can now tell how a virus spreads by the Pandemic.
-Made making vaccines quicker and making blood virals quicker too.

Gave the high level symptoms their own preset diseases and added them to the virus crate, along with a bottle of mutagen.
Several disease fixes, such as disease stages going below 0. Diseases which spread by blood will longer spread when you touch someone (i.e: click on someone)
I also did some cleaning up with comments.
Made handheld radios broadcast if their messages aren't sent on the same level as they're on, meaning that turning off the relay to the station will not make it impossible to communicate with others with radios.
Made some events only effect people on the station Z level.

-Changed the focus from the high-res scanner to the regular scanner. It will simply scan the fingerprints and display them to the detective. For extra functionality, it'll store it's findings in a log and then you can print it out in a report by using attack_self().
-Detectives can now use the medical computer.
-Removed the pda forensic scanning functionality.
-Got rid of now useless high-res scanner computer. Got rid of the now useless fingerprint cards.
-Added a medical computer to the detective's office and replaced the useless medical cabinet with an empty one.
Other
-Got rid of diseases magically moving down a stage.
-Optimized playsound()
-Added an attack_self() to sprayers so that you can change the reagent use of them between 5 and 10.

-Added a new symptom. Voice Change will randomly change the voice of the affected mob. It isn't obtainable by Mutagen and I'll likely put it in the virus crate when I have more dangerous viruses.
-Added two new symptom procs. Start() will be called once and it'll be called when the advance disease processes. Allows you to setup stuff for your symptom. End() will be called before the disease is deleted.
-Diseases that spread by blood won't spread by contact anymore. You will need to directly inject someone to get them to catch the disease.
-Put a limit on shivering and fevers.
-Added a specialvoice variable. You can use SetSpecialVoice() to set a special voice that the player will say instead. To unset it, use UnsetSpecialVoice(). GetSpecialVoice() will return the player's special voice value.
-Added two DEFINEs for the limit which is how much a human can take before taking burn damage from heat or coldness.
-Some symptom value changes.

Before, when making a link to an admin tool, you done this:
<a href='?src=\ref[C.holder];parameter=1;>link</a>
Now, we do not need to use a reference to direct it to places like usr or usr.client.holder (or client, but you never needed src for that anyway)
usr: <a href='?_src_=usr;parameter=1;>link</a>
holder: <a href='?_src_=holder;parameter=1;>link</a>
This basically allows us to move a LOT of code outside of loops as we no longer have to create a \ref for every recipient of the message. They can all be sent identical links. A simple example of this would be in pray.dm Although it's most noticeable in the adminhelp code which is vastly simplified.
Adminhelp name spotting code thingy...whatever... looks for ckey matches first, then surnames, then forenames. This is to stop it possibly weirding out if there is a station full of "Ed"s of "Sarah"s
Prayer code no longer loads a new icon into memory every time a prayer is sent. Use image() not icon()!
key_name() no longer needs a reference for it's admin_link argument.
message_admin() pretty much doesn't need those extra arguments for finding and replacing %holder_ref%. I've got to go through all the code to check before I remove it though.

-Removed the mutagen requirement from a metroid recipe so it does not conflict with the mix_virus recipe.
-When deaf, you'll get a notice when you see someone talking but you don't hear them. Being blind and deaf will give you no message, because you won't be able to tell. Talking while deaf will give you a message, even while blind.
-Diseases can't be cured by having a high body temperature now.
-I cut down the copy+paste on the meter code.
-Advance diseases now have a limit of 3 in a single mob, increased the amount of symptoms you can have to compensate.

Fixed advance diseases using the same reference in mobs.
Fixed advance diseases referencing other advance diseases' symptoms, instead of just copying it.
I tested it more thoroughly this time and I can't find any issues but if you do please add them to the bug tracker and or contact me on #coderbus.
Added a new reaction which will remove symptoms from a disease. Needs blood and synaptizine.
Added a new symptom, shivering will make you cold.
Tweaked and balanced some symptoms.

Minds part2 - Carn loses her mind.
The way datum/mind stuff works has been changed a lot. I really can't explain everything. If you have any questions it'd just be easier if you leave a comment or ask me in coderbus.
Generally, minds now represent IC characters rather than following a client around constantly. Minds can change owners, mobs, (names WIP).
Technical babble:
The var/current and var/original variables of the mind datum must always be of type mob/living (or null). Please do not mind.transfer_to(ghost_mob). If you want to ghost somebody use ghostize()! It will do all the technical stuff for you.
mob/dead/observer/var/corpse was removed. mob/dead/observer/var/mind is now used as a reference to the last mind the player had (so respawning code has something to reference), but also because mind.current is a far more useful way of tracking a corpse. If somebody triggers a mind.transfer_to() call on your corpse, your mind will be tranfered to another mob/living or something...that will then be considered your corpse. This could allow for more interesting mind_transfers. For instance, the "raise corpse" rune ghostizes any player in the corpse to be raised and selectes a random dead player to take possesion of their character! The person possesing them will have all of their memories, objectives, etc. The poor guy who was originally the owner cannot re-enter body if there is another player in his body...but if that player is ghosted he can once again return. Exorcisms anybody?
Changes to cloning and hydroponics. I will likely have to rework these later as they're hacky as hell right now.
A lot of stuff is now handled by Login/Logout rather than in hundreds of different places. One such example, mind datums get their variables updated at Login and Logout.
Fixed a few minor bugs. I'll update the issues manually in a bit because I literally cannot think atm.
TL;DR guide:
-If you want to make somebody a ghost use ghostize(). Or you will need to find a doctor to stitch your bits back on. :)
-You don't have to worry about making minds. Simply doing key="carnwennan" or whatever will either: A) make a new mind and initialise it if there isn't one or B) take possession of the mind currently attached to the mob.
-It's safe to transfer a mind even if a key isn't in-body (e.g. they are ghosted/admin-observing etc!) Minds have an active variable which tracks whether they are currently synced with a key. This is to avoid dragging ghosts back into their bodies when say, a wizard mind_transfers them.
-Transferring a mind whilst var/active=1 will cause the following: mob.key = mind.key. So no need to do that separately (in fact you'll lag things if you do, so don't)
-If you do want to initialize a mind manually, say if you don't have a client to login to the mob yet, simply do new_mob.mind_initialize(). Simple! When someody is logged into that mob they will take ownership of the mind and it will sync up.
NOTE: a lot is probably broken since this is a pretty massive change. Please let me know asap (with actual info! Shouting at me, "IT BORKED HALP", doesn't help)

This part focuses on:
-structuring the way silicon mobs initialise upon login (there was some hideous copypasta in Login() and New() which used spawn() to change the order of the calls so it was all jumbled up. I think I've got it sorted now.
-Borgs var/real_name was not initialising as "Cyborg". Meaning the name checks were kind of borked.
-Ghosts are now deleted at logout if they no longer have a key. This will stop unneeded ghosts being left lying around. It will not delete ghosts with keys assigned (so people can't respawn or anything). Removed all the del(ghost_ref) stuff I could find. Generally movign the key from a ghost should be the last thing you do as the ghost will be deleted by Logout. However I've put it in a spawn() to hopefully avoid coders accisentally using it in a way which causes runtimes.
-Fixed clone-plants spawning dud potato-people left, right and centre. They'll now dump seeds if it fails for whatever reason.
-Cultist and Rev status are removed at mob/living/silicon/Login() rather than having to be called on a special-case basis everywhere. This may not be necessary when this stuff is finished.
-Removed a bunch of :
-Commented mob/living/Login() with the rest of the antag-indicator code from cloning.dm and hydroponics.dm for any coders whom feel brave/suicidal to fix the related issues
Next on the agenda, replacing mob/var/original_name with datum/mind/var/name to fix the ticker runtimes
Then, fixing mind/proc/transfer_to(mob) once and for all. (There are issues with duplicate minds, role updates, inconsistent initialisation etc etc *yawn*
There's probably a few obscure bugs in there somewhere. Might want to hold off on the updates for a bit. Coderbus will likely spot them all by the end of the week.

-Almost every instance of 'for(mob in world)' has been killed. Because GODDAMN was it being run a bunch. Instead, a series of global lists have been made, and they are all handled auto-magically through New()'s, Del()'s, Login()'s, death()'s, etc...
Lists are as follows:
-mob_list : Contains all atom/mobs by ref
-player_list : Like mob_list, but only contains mobs with clients attached
-admin_list : Like player_list, but holds all mobs with clients attached and admin status
-living_mob_list : Contains all mobs that ARE alive, regardless of client status
-dead_mob_list : Contains all mobs that are dead, which comes down to corpses and ghosts
-cable_list : A list containing every obj/structure/cable in existence
Note: There is an object (/obj/item/debuglist) that you can use to check the contents of each of the lists except for cables (Since getting a message saying "a cable," x9001 isn't very helpful)
These lists have been tested as much as I could on my own, and have been mostly implemented. There are still places where they could be used, but for now it's important that the core is working. If this all checks out I would really like to implement it into the MC as well, simply so it doesn't check call Life() on every mob by checking for all the ones in world every damn tick.
Just testing locally I was able to notice improvements with certain aspects, like admin verbs being MUCH more responsive (They checked for every mob in the world every time they were clicked), many sources of needless lag were cut out (Like Adminwho and Who checking every single mob when clicked), and due to the cable_list powernet rebuilding is MUCH more efficient, because instead of checking for every cable in the world every time a powernet was broken (read: A cable was deleted), it runs though the pre-made list, and even with a singulo tearing all the way across the station, the powernet load was VERY small compared to pretty much everything else.
If you want to know how any of this works, check global_lists.dm, there I have it rigorously commented, and it should provide an understanding of what's going on.

I gave up trying to get facehuggers to hug laying down mobs after a throw. Instead I just fixed the attack() proc so aliens can slap them onto people's faces.
Changed the chestbursting code so larva are created even if no client is available. I will be making a verb so ghosts can posses aliens/larvae with no ckey depending on what headcoders think of the idea. I didn't think it fair that aliens should suffer because not enough ghosts have be_alien enabled at the exact moment a larvae chestbursts.

I'm currently working on moving all of the vars in mob_defines.dm and some procs in mob.dm into more fitting places. For example, ghosts and simple animals can not be cloned, so they do not need a cloneloss var. Cloneloss would be better fitting to /mob/living or even /mob/living/carbon.
By moving these defines into proper children of /mob we lower the amount of resources that must be set aside every time a mob is created and we lower the amount of data that gets transfered between mobs when we combine, transfer or transform them. In theory, this should help free up some resources and combat lag.
Due to how integrated some of these defines are in the rest of the code, I'm going to be committing this cleanup in small batches. Doing it this way instead of one massive commit means that bugs will be easier to locate and identify. It is also less likely to overwhelm players with bugs, and if it still does, it will make it easier for us to revert only the section that is causing problems. Smaller commits also means merging with existing code will be less of a nightmare and has less potential for merging mistakes.
One of my goals in this cleanup is to add a description to every single variable in mob defines. While some of them are self explanatory, there are some there that are used in horribly obscure ways on top of having no comment to describe their use.
-----------------------
Mob defines moved to living:
- last_special*
- bruteloss
- oxyloss
- toxloss
- fireloss
- cloneloss
- brainloss
- halloss
- hallucination
- hallucinations(list)
*Note: I believe this variable is not needed, but the code it is used in (the resist verb) is cluttered and messy. That chunk of code probably use a re-write. I'll put it on my TODO list and if I survive mob_defines I'll try to get around to it but if anyone wants to do it for me, that would certainly help!
-----------------------
Mob procs moved to living:
- getBruteLoss()
- adjustBruteLoss()
- getOxyLoss()
- adjustOxyLoss()
- setOxyLoss()
- getToxLoss()
- adjustToxLoss()
- setToxLoss()
- getFireLoss()
- adjustFireLoss()
- getCloneLoss()
- adjustCloneLoss()
- setCloneLoss()
- getHalLoss()
- adjustHalLoss()
- setHalLoss()
- getBrainLoss()
- adjustBrainLoss()
- setBrainLoss
Mob procs moved to carbon:
getDNA()
setDNA()
-----------------------
Mob verbs moved to carbon:
- Sleep
- Lay down / Get up
-----------------------
The : operator...
The thing that has been killing me through this whole cleanup is people using or copy/pasting the : operator everywhere.
*** Please use obj.var_or_procname. Do not use obj:var_or_procname ***
Using obj:procname will not throw a compiler error if obj does not have that specific var or proc. This means that the coder making changes will NOT be informed of an error which will result in a proc failing, potentially being completely unusable and definatly causing a runtime error.
With that said, I fully anticipate that most bugs (if any) caused by this mob define cleanup to be the result of : operators.
I've been replacing many : operators in favour of the . operator as I've been going, most noteably I went out of my way to remove almost every : operator from the 4000+ line Chemistry-Regents.dm
Exceptions:
- Water: Turf and Atmos related vars. I'm not familiar with the members and methods in those class' hierarchy.
- Silicate: because it's commented out and I honestly dont see it returning.
- Thermite: Turf and Atmos related vars.
- Corn Oil: Turf and Atmos related vars.
Final note: While this may be the source of some mob-related bugs, there are two other revisions that have been committed between now and the last time either of the the two tgstation servers have been updated. These revisions both touch mob-related files. I'm not blaming these other revisions for anything, especially since one of them is mine anyway, I'm just listing them here for refrence to help quickly identify any problems.
- My human/life() changes in r3925
- Carn's life() standardizations in r3933
Stuff unrelated to mob defines:
- Fixed borgs and such being able to go into DNA modifiers.
- Changelog updated and I added Sieve to the list of coders.
