- Hardware pieces are now items, rather than datums.
- Adds deconstruction for computers. Empty tablet/laptop/console frames may be wrenched to break them back into metal sheets. You have to empty the frame first, by using screwdriver to take out components one by one.
- Components may be moved between devices. You can for example take your tablet, remove it's hard drive, and slot it into a console. It will have all the files it had on your tablet.
- Not all hardware can be fitted into all devices. Tablet can't hold 2K GQ cluster hard drive, for example.
- Hardware may be fabricated by research for relatively low costs, once you have relevant research levels. Obtaining computer this way is much cheaper than buying it at the vendor.
- Data crystals added (glorified USB flash sticks) that allow file transfer to different devices. File browser program updated accordingly to support importing/exporting of files to these crystals.
- Battery module added. These are wrappers for actual power cell object and act as limit for cell size, otherwise it would be possible to have 30k cells inside devices, which would allow them to run insanely long.
A random lobby screen is now picked at server start, and presented to all players. Sadly in our case we currently only have one every day lobby screen.
Port of https://github.com/PolarisSS13/Polaris/pull/321, with added sanity checking.
Allows the AI to use the "Toggle Hologram Movement" verb to toggle whether the hologram should follow the AI eye or not.
Also adds a check to ensure that the holopad can see the hologram, otherwise it shuts down.
Partial port of https://github.com/PolarisSS13/Polaris/pull/11.
- Mostly under-the-hood changes.
- Emagged APCs may now have their panel removed with screwdriver, so you can access wires
- Emagged APCs no longer rely on locked var, instead they check for emagged var as mwerezak suggested.
- Adds new "File manager" program, that allows you to work with files stored on your device's hard drive.
- File manager can be used to delete/rename/view files. Some files can't be viewed (executable programs), some can be (data files)
- If your device contains NanoPrinter hardware you may print data files.
- You can edit the text files using simplified paper code.
- 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)
