This PR will lead us towards the Promised Day, for in its wake there shall be much celebration and ecstasy as this world becomes a world suitable for developer hegemony. The first strike is thusly;
All << is converted into to_chat().
This UI is going to be more integrated with BYOND host objects. It's update principal is very different from nanoui's. It is based around state that is being synchronized with server and client (browser). Such synchronization has it's problems, like it can't handle rapid changes, what could cause client and server to become out of sync and client state to be discard.
The downloader and the file manager no longer come default on any device.
A client enrollment app comes now with every console
The user has to select weather the device is a private or company device and select a software preset if its a work console
Work devices are locked down to a specific set of programs
Private devices get the downloader and the file manager to install programs as usual.
Threw out the backup of the old-old camera monitor.
Made software presets a generic thing that are not dependant on the form factor of a device.
Ported holowarrants from bay
Ported wall mounted consoles from bay
Ported various computer fixes from bay
Vending machines spawn now with the holowarrant "client"
Mapping changes:
CE and HoS dont get a modular computer with command preset (they did not have that before bay merge, so why should they now)
Added a modular computer with command preset to the head of staff briefing room
Replaced the camera monitoring console in the Engine Control room with a modular computer
Replaced the cam monitor in the CE´s office with a wall mounted console
Switched places of the bar sink and console
Replaced the consoles with obj/item consoles
Mapped in the ERT and Merc Console (Merc Shuttle, ERT Area)
Fixed the "border" at the heisters base
Also waiting for CCIA on a design for the warrants.
But that can be changed with a follow up pull
Added different run and download access levels
Added the possibility to check for one access, one in a list, all in a list
Tweaked the access levels required to download software.
Generally speaking, only departmental heads can now download departmental software
Locked down the software of the preset consoles. (No downloading games on them)
Fixed being unable to eject portable storage devices
Locked down work consoles dont accept portable storage devices
Added a software backup crate to secure storage
- Modular computers now support multitasking.
- New hardware type added. Basic CPUs may be obtained when purchasing a laptop or tablet, Photonic CPUs can be printed at research at imprinter. This hardware piece determines how many programs can be on background.
- Programs can now have an icon that is rendered in main UI's header (along with the power icons, etc.) when the program is on background. As an example, these icons have been added to NTNRC client (Dark icon when no messages have been received, blinking when new message is waiting), Alarm monitor (Blinking red when an alarm is active, green otherwise) and downloader program (Animated arrow when downloading, stationary when finished.)
- Adds missing crew monitor icon to tablets. Fixes#11937
- Adds codersprites for tablet programs that are currently required.
- Adds computer icons to some programs that missed them.
- Temporarily removes separate keyboard icon states for consoles. They may be reimplemented in the future in a bit better way.
- Rebalanced sizes of programs a bit
- File manager is no longer downloadable, as it is part of each hard drive's ROM.
- Fixed runtime error when vending a laptop
- Adjusted some code segments as per Techhead's suggestions on github
- Adds changelog.
- Adds revelation virus, a program that destroys the hard drive on execution. It also has chance of destroying the computer's power supply and/or battery.
- (Added): Simple UI for virus that allows user to rename the program to look like non-malicious one. The virus must be armed first via this UI. Once armed, it will trigger on next execution (even if copied/sent to other system)
- Adds extended description to programs, that contains basic information on what the program is doing.
- Adds NTNet relay chat, communication method that works as alternative to PDA messaging.
- NTNRC client is available to everyone for download. Once started, you can set your username (much as you can with IRC in real) and join channels created by other users (or create your own channel)
- Each channel has an operator. This is typically the channel's creator. If the operator leaves, operator status is transferred to randomly picked other user. If all users leave operator status is set as null until someone arrives again.
- Operator can delete or rename the channel, as well as save copy of chat logs to the hard drive (in future it will be editable/printable) and set channel password. Password-locked channels are private only for those who know the password.
- Added new access type (ID 42): access_network. RD is now, by default, given this access.
- People with network access can enter administrative mode, which allows them to make operator actions even without operator status on all channels. Furthermore, this hides them from other users (unless they decide to talk). They also bypass password locks, if they are set.
- Minor tweaks to NTNet monitoring tool. Fixed one minor graphical glitch in the UI and added access requirement to run the program (network access)
- Screenshot of NTNRC in action: http://i.imgur.com/c7hrWY5.png
- Adds new program, NTNet monitoring tool. It allows the user to view logs and perform various administrative tasks.
- The program is currently without access restriction. This will be added in future update, possibly when (if?) i add IT technician.
- This program may be used to disable specific functions of NTNet, or shut it down entirely.
- As usual, fixes various issues through the code, but likely creates more as this is still WIP project.
- Most importantly, NTNet software downloader program now exists and more or less works.
- Your device's connectivity has effect on how quickly you can download. Right now, things with wired connection (consoles) download at 0,5GQ/s, mobile devices on station where signal is good at 0,1GQ/s and mobile devices off station where signal is bad are limited to 0,025GQ/s. This is all controlled by three defines.
- Adds a computer configuration utility program, that is pre-installed on each computer. This program shows detailed component information and offers component toggling possibility.
- Bandaid fix for NanoUI runtimes which seem to be caused by nanoUIs sometimes being somehow opened on null object. Such UI is force-deleted if this happens.
- Programs now have properly defined usage_flags (Note to self: AND is not OR!)
- Minor visual adjustment to buttons in UIs.
- Renames some files, tidies up some of the code
- Adds forceMove() and Topic() sanity checks from github suggestions
- Properly implements tablets, usage flags and portable devices in general. For now, adds codersprites (final release will have actual sprites)
- Fixes some bugs
- Assigns file sizes to programs
- Lays out structure for item-based modular computers (Tablets)
- Changes how icons for modular computers will be handled.
- NTNet adjustments
- Few fixes
- Small adjustments to NTNet behaviour.
- Adds "undeletable" and "unmovable" flags for computer files. Intended to use for ROM-style programs that are necessary for PC to work.
- Programs now know NTNet status and can act differently depending on this.
- Overall improvements of code, fixes, etc.
- Adds NTNet and NTNet relays. They currently miss deconstruction/construction but that's planned for later.
- Adds few more programs (still preinstalled in the laptop, for debugging)
- Successfully gets rid of copypaste formerly needed in templates. Now the header is in default template itself. This seems to be least problematic solution without making change to nanoui's code itself.
- Implements modular computers, starting with single program (power monitoring console)
- Implements most hardware. Some is still TBD, but the important stuff is in place
- Implements file-based system. Currently two file types exist, programs, which have NanoUI/Topic() interaction with user and data files, which may be used to store string of data.
