changes:
Machines' process() has been separated from auto_use_power().
Lights no longer process() and instead use auto_use_power() for power calculations.
Computers that didn't really need to process() no longer process().
Airlocks now use the scheduler to auto-close instead of process()ing.
Fixed a bug where clicking on an AI Status display to set its status did not work.
Tweaks diona values on all lights, and range/power on a couple
Also adds a slightly dimmer sprite for tube light fixtures that they switch to during night mode. To reduce the incongruity from having a bright tube putting out very little light
Adds a new process-based effects system with the goal of reducing insane lag from sparks.
Currently only supports sparks, but should be easily extendable to other types of effects.
Also fixes a bug with airlocks where the light from bolts wasn't updating.
Refactors bears slightly to reduce duplicated code & pointless spark object creation and destruction.
Lighting profiler will now log /turf locations & names correctly.
Doors will no longer trigger way more visibility checks than they need to.
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.
changes:
rscadd: "Added a button on APCs to set the area lights to a 'night-mode' which is dimmer and saves energy."
rscadd: "Added an automated system to turn 'night-mode' on in hallways between 6pm and 7am in station time."
Remains of player blob axed.
blob_act() axed. Blob now has an arbitary set of things it can attack.
It will flow over everything else. Blob has an awful tendency to destroy
non-craftables.
Will test more tomorrow.
Blob will now attack mechs.
Fixes#8106.
Fixes#10705.
Updates Bump() code.
Intents now use constants.
Simple animals can now use languages without overriding say().
There is now a difference between being able to smash normal and reinforced walls.
Reworks simple_animal/attackby so that constructs don't need to override it simply to add damage resistance.
First pass on major conversion of xenomorphs to a human subspecies. Additional condensing of various redundant mob verbs.
Converted larva and diona to their own class, collapsed the rest of xenomorphs into a human species, other stuff.
Completely removed attack_alien(). Still have to reimplement some of the lost behavior for human/alien.
Reapplies lost attack_alien() functionality other than tackling/caressing.
Further alien/humanoid cleanup and xenospawn fix-ups. Also uncommented caste verbs.
Removed half-finished abilities system since species.dm handles it.
All xenomorphs functionality should be working now, other than the HUD, tackling and the xenomorph balance issues.
Added icons for xenomorph castes, moved broadcast languages into datums, removed alien_talk and robot_talk vars.
Merged with organ removal code.
Reapplied verbs to simple_animals/slimes. Updated species definitions to have appropriate organs.
Readded tackle as a human verb.
Borer changes regarding brain removal.
Working on moving the human HUD to the species datum a bit. Mixed results.
Moved Cortical Link to a language, added borer husks.
Tidied up the HUD stuff. Still need to make it rebuild properly when species is changed, but this will do for no
Compile fix, forgot the DME.
Fixed up ventcrawl, added new organ mechanics for dionaea.
Fixed up some overlooked sections causing mobs without brains to die immediately.
Fixed up plasma generation for queens, bugs with organs, force_organ issues with set_species().
