- Tesla link is now correctly enabled when being installed into a console. Fixes#11974
- Tesla link now correctly stops using power when the computer shuts down.
- Configurator program now uses much better method to obtain list of components. This method takes into account possible hardware additions in the future.
- 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
- Maps in bunch of modular consoles, mostly replacing old consoles with them. I've replaced them with relevant department presets.
- Engineering control room merged with Atmospherics control room, under single area.
- Fixes possible qdel() issue with console's/laptop's processor object.
- Removes Karolis's console preset, as it is now part of Command console preset under different typepath.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- This somewhat reduces copy-paste of code between item and machinery types. Machinery type still needs some code, but it's been reduced to absolute minimum.
